The Most EYE OPENING Speech On Why You're NOT HAPPY In Life... | Mo Gawdat

Happiness is a choice.
It’s a bold statement, but it’s one I wholeheartedly support. Whether you agree with this statement, or whether the idea sits a little uncomfortably with you, I think you are going to get a lot out of this uplifting conversation.

When I was a kid I had one dream: to work for IBM because my dad did. Eventually, following a convoluted route, I got there. I worked my way up into a management position and secured an international assignment overseas to Budapest, still with IBM. I had my dream job, my dream car and I had paid off my mortgage by the age of 34. I wanted for nothing but happiness. I was not happy because I was not truly fulfilled. I quit, went backpacking to Asia, eventually become a scuba diving instructor working in Costa Rica and the Caribbean. Now I'm a school teacher in rural New Zealand. I've never felt happier or more fulfilled as I do now. Happiness costs. It costs in terms of opportunities to see family and old friends back in England. There is a price to be paid. But I can tell you that if you are prepared to pay the price, the outcome is more incredible than you can ever imagine. I would never trade my memories and experiences for anything. Yes, I could have had a nice house, a flashy car, designer clothes... but everything I have done and seen has been worth a thousand times that. Be brave, go for your life, because it is your only life.

I have a 10 month old baby son and seeing his development is truly eye opening.
His default condition is happiness.
He wakes up on a morning smiling. As soon as we go downstairs, he plays and is laughing and smiling.
Throughout the day, he only gets upset when he is hungry or has tummy ache etc.
As an adult, my default condition has been the complete reverse to this.
I always think that I have to have something outside of me to make me happy.
A well paid job, nice car, a holiday every year, the latest gadget, the latest clothes.
If any of these things made us have lasting happiness then as soon as we have experienced them we wouldn’t need them again.
Of course, this isn’t the case because after having the desired object for a while, we start desiring something else.
The cycle never ends.
My baby is my guru and is teaching me so much❤❤❤

I love that these guys don't interrupt each other. Which is so rare. They are genuinely interested in what the other is saying.

[TaniaPomalesArt]

I've been SCREAMING this for YEARS. People forgot how to play. We forgot how to create. We forgot how to love. We forgot how to be. We forgot who we are in the name of money and working jobs that don't bring us joy. Then the end of our life comes, and we never lived. We only went through the motions. Since I was a kid, I realized this and would always say it. I'd argue with adults about it. And I'm still like this. I make art. It's what I love to do. I feel like I'm living when I create. When will we remember how to live and not just exist?

Dear Mo and Rangan, thank you so much for this session. I lost 2 children myself (2008 and 2009) and when people ask how I survived.... I always tell them I had no other choice.... as a mother, you want to be dead as well, you want to go after them and care for them.... but life is just not willing to let you stop breathing all by yourself. It took me some years and Mo, as you said the pain stays, but it's the way you handle it that makes life livable. Now I think back, being grateful for the chance they gave me feeling like a mom. I now know I can handle everything life throws at me, 'cause the worst thing I already survived. Bless you and your families. You both are a blessing for this world.

“ Most of us are stuck in stories. Stories can be changed “. So true.

[colindant]

The trouble is that most of us are struggling manfully to get by financially. An awful lot of people work hard, but they are not receiving much financial reward for their efforts. 'Thank you' cards don't pay for the roof over one's head, nor put food on the table. Eventually, the music stops and one is left with a predominantly fixed income which will, in large measure, condemn most people to a lifestyle which makes it difficult to rise above the task of just surviving.

[Jenlettautherapies]

Beautiful. I’m grateful to my psychotherapist who taught me that just “being” is enough in life. I stopped being goal orientated and setting myself up for failure and began enjoying life. I’m 53 now and seem to be going deeper into that philosophy .
This is a RARE find this podcast! Gold.

[lucinawhitney]

One of the best podcasts I have heard in a long time 💕. I'm terrified that in my fifties I haven't accomplished any material stuff (house, , money, fancy car, etc) the sad thing is I don't even want those things, even though I am not going to get any younger, and it is important to have at least a place to stay for the last years of your life, the only thing I want on a daily basis, is to have the mental energy to wake up and exercise, and spend most of my time moving and reenergize myself, because it prevents me from being depressed, it prevents me from feeling a type of emptiness that hurts, and nothing can make me feel better, but physical movement. It's complicated, but listening to this podcast and reading the comments, I know I am not alone.

This hit hard ! I didn’t finish college. Ran my own business for a while. Just got tired of being in the rat race. Now I’m retired probably will never go back to work. Enjoy traveling and living in the moment every day.

Some people love being alone. You have to be happy with yourself as far as I'm concerned.
Many people need to be around people. I love hanging out with people a little but most the time I love being alone so I can watch these videos and learn.

[ryanaquino]

I've listened to this conversation endless times and it's a perfect reminder of what's important in my life. Beautiful to see grown men speaking with vulnerability and with such wisdom.

Thank you Ragan and Mo

[saminaiqbal]

Blown away by this conversation. Having lost my daughter recently, there was so much wisdom from another bereaved parent.

[Ashi.Anizain]

Lots of love and hugs for you. I lost my 21 years old son seven years ago in a hit and run accident . He was a poet, an artist and an activist. People still cry remembering him and i often receive messages that they miss him and how they love him and remember him. He stays with me every single moment but i am living my life apparently like any other person.

[irenazdrnja]

WOW! Just wow. This is the BEST podcast episode I have ever watched (and I watch them everyday for years)! 😍
I cried 3 times already. So much wisdom. Every sentence made me think WOW.

[mindfulkayaker]

Oh my God, I don’t know what to say other than after more than 20 years trying to find happiness through spiritual practices and teachers. This man just gave me one of the greatest lessons in my 68 years of life. Thank you so much!!!

[wendyfellows]

Had to write this Mo quote in my “Love” journal, “To find love, love yourself, and do what you love.”

[albertmac]

So basically you became financially stable through something you truly didn't like and we're fortunate to go backpacking through Asia because of the job . These stories are the same here. Being stable financially buys freedom to do what you want.
