A good receipie for happiness ? Act and be engaged !


A photo of Yann Arthus-Bertrand

Hi there !
Have you ever seen photos of Yann Arthus-Bertrand or one of his films ?
Yann Arthus-Bertrand is a French photograph, reporter and true ecologist .
Here is what he says:
“Earth is the most beautiful artist”.

How right! Some of the pictures actually look more like paintings to me !
If you are lucky and have an exhibition near where you are, believe me, go there ! Fly there !
For today, I would love to share with you something that Yann Arthus-Bertrand says:
« Agir, s’engager rend heureux »   
“ Acting, being engaged makes you happy “ (my very personal translation there !)
When we act and are engaged we do feel happy.
When we act following a choice we have made and we are happy with, our thoughts are aligned with our beliefs and so we are immerged into congruence.  When our actions and our thoughts are congruent with our beliefs and values, we then feel easiness; things become obvious. Everything “flows” naturally.
When we are engaged, we focus on something precise and as such our actions are more efficient. It is as if we have a precise plan, the image of what we want to achieve is precise and clear. Then again, it is easier !
Can you recall moments in your life when you felt happy ? Do you know why you felt that way?
Were you experimenting something like:
Sharing: we are social animals and we feel bigger, much bigger when we can share;
Action:  When we are acting, we move. When I say we move, I am thinking our body, probably, and our thoughts as well. Moving means being alive. And being alive knowing what you have to do feel good, it takes away all the worries of the organization.
By the way, when you have a choice to make, move ! Stand up and move ! That will shake your ideas as well, new ones will come into your mind more easily.
Happiness also comes with free desire: We make one choice and we make it because it is the one we want . Nobody else but us. It is a moment of self-power and self-power is exhilarating ! 
That is freedom ! It is a truly incredible powerful feeling.
We also have the feeling of being useful. Objectively true or not for others, but that is what also nourish our motivation to continue.
All those feelings of congruence, sharing, being in action, experimenting a free desire and usefulness go together.
We do not need to look for all of them to complete an ideal equation of happiness, as one or two will naturally lead to the others.
Everything is linked as they all belong to the same movement.
For Yann Arthus-Bertrand the equation seems to go first with acting and being engaged.
How about yours ? where shall it begin with ? Do you know ?
