Agents, our fifth mission is to uncover the truth and unleash the power of happiness.
For many years, Agents, fields of science such as psychology, sociology, and medicine primarily focused on the study and treatment of pathologies, a scientific word that means the study of the causes and effects of disease, illness, and disorder such as depression, chronic anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Over time, however, people realized that you cannot solely focus on disease to understand what it truly means to be healthy and well. This is because being healthy is not simply the absence of disease, but the PRESENCE of other, vital qualities of life that lead to good health and to happiness. Positive psychology believes that if we can study and treat illness, we can study and PROMOTE wellness. And, by promoting wellness, we can prevent illness to reduce it from happening, while being better equipped to help those who do get sick heal and recover! Agents, your mission today is to allow yourself to have an experience that brings you genuine happiness.
Genuine happiness has nothing to do with our image, our status, or our money. Rather, it comes from a sense of being deeply connected to others. We also feel it when we are in a state of "flow", a state of being fully engaged in an activity that we love to do while we are being challenged to grow in new and exciting ways. And we experience genuine happiness when we feel that we are part of something bigger than ourselves, and that we feel we are giving back to the world with our gifts!
We each deserve to experience all of these conditions for genuine happiness!
In the following video, Agents Oprah Winfrey and Louie Schwartzberg will guide us through the mystery and science behind happiness.
