Happiness exists in the mind not on a beach. It is either with you most places or not.

Okay, and your motivation for saying so? 

 

Lack of discipline I presume? 

 

Because I know it's bullox. When I do my morning exercises it's disciplined, but that's the exact opposite of "happiness". It's a chore. To mistake discipline for happiness is idiotic.

 

 

At most you feel your conscientiousness is pacified because you did what you had to do. But that's not happiness.

cloud is a visible mass of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Clouds form when water vapor in the air condenses into liquid droplets or ice crystals, which occurs when the air becomes saturated with moisture and cools down. This process can happen when warm, moist air rises and expands, cooling as it goes higher in the atmosphere. The droplets or ice crystals then gather around particles like dust, forming the visible cloud. Clouds can vary in shape, size, and altitude, and they play a crucial role in Earth's weather and climate.

On the other hand, this could be moved to the IT & Computer forum

You are just weird! It´s a fact that dog are most loyal and always stay with their owner. They don´t run away!

Some people have told me they can be happy anywhere. Others can't they need specific surroundings. 

 

Where in the mind is happiness generated?

So far you have got 7 thumbs down. Proving happiness is very elusive, especially here at AN.

It doesn’t mean if you disciplined you will automatically be happy, but everything roots in discipline and sel control. 

 

Throughout time big thinkers, philosophers, and religion teaches us how important discipline is to succeed in life. 

 

Discipline is highly important for happiness. It allows individuals to achieve goals, manage stress, and maintain overall well-being, leading to a greater sense of fulfillment and joy. While not always easy, the effort invested in self-discipline pays off in the long run by creating a more stable and positive life. Jut basic self explained teaching.

Discipline helps you to achieve goals, yes. So let's say your goal is to get jacked. You're disciplined in the gym and you do get jacked. So you achieve that goal. That may give you fulfilment and joy, if being jacked is important to you.  Sure. Your life may become more positive because you're jacked, chicks may look at you more, sure. 

 

But those are fleeting accomplishments, they won't make you happy long term. I mean do you think Arnold, after winning 8 Mr Olympias sat back and said "That's it, I'm perfectly happy now". He was jacked, he got his titles, women were lusting after him. 

 

After a while though that fades and loses importance, he started doing other things, movies, politics...he wasn't happy long term because he achieved one goal.

Discipline is if you can call it a tool, important for the core values in your life to achieve basic needs that give you advantages in life which can lead to happiness because you manage to build a platform where you are safe, and have benefits in life, which leads to a healthy and sustainable secured lifestyle. 

 

I would say Arnold is a great example for many people in many ways. 

 

The big question, can you be happy without discipline at all? And with discipline comes self control which is connected.

Could be that online stalking provides happiness for some, a reason to get up in the morning, a purpose in life.

 

And so what? At least they have a purpose in life that gives them fulfillment. 

 

I got nothing. 

 

What stops you from turn your mind in to something that could be beneficial for you? 

 

Walk the beach every morning 6 o`clock, and you find out many other people do, and the very much same people you will meet everyday, and finely you will be on a nod with most of the regulars. A great start of the day before coffe. 

 

Go to a gym 5 days a week, and do some exercises suited for you, and the same thing, you will see many of the same faces almost every day if you show up to the same time regularly. 

 

Or if no beach, the park, go and have a small meal at the same place, just small things to change your routines, and you will see there is a consistent world out there where people do small things for themselves connects to other people who do the same. 

 

Most of all it is how it connects in your brain and how you think, and how you create positive thinking by doing things routinely.

Of course. Happiness is just the overcoming of a serious obstacle. You can overcome obstacles without discipline.

In most cases, by discipline you are prepared for obstacles, while most who do not have discipline are not
