I had a meeting a few days ago that has stayed with me. This was a man who was keen on giving advice to everybody – He had an opinion on almost everything! I’m very confident that each of us know of somebody like that. Most of all, he portrayed to be all-knowing. I wonder if people think that he really does know everything.
But that’s not the point of this post: It dawned on me that he was bitter about everything he had an opinion about. and he had an opinion about everything. Must we take advice from somebody who is unhappy? No. I would rather be advised by a happy person who is not the most well-known, than be advised by one who is unhappy and has “every thing”.
There is a difference between happiness and what gives makes you happy: The latter is subjective, the former is not. Everyone can tell if they are happy or unhappy. I think everything is subjective: Success, Hard Work, Delusions & Reality. But the happiness of a person is not. Everybody can be happy and there is only absolute happiness.
