Multi-stage Action Plan for Happiness
The attitudes, knowledge and skills that we have accumulated so for have to be
combined together to achieve our main objective: share that supreme wealth
called Happiness.
This plan, given herein, is only an outline, and should be used only with
modifications to suit your specific life style and preferences. To be successful, you
should devote more time to formulate a plan to suit your individual needs. Two
important assumptions are made as prerequisites.
Assumption 1. You have already harmonized your life styles, or mind/body
relationships with your expenditure patterns to fit your income flows.
Assumption 2: You are taking sufficient care to stay healthy and strong. All
decisions you take regarding your health are logical and practical.
The Plan
@ Level Zero:
Your health is of utmost importance, if you wish to increase your levels of
happiness. If necessary, change your life style to help you reduce your levels of
cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and living expenditure. These are the most
embarrassing symptoms you will always encounter when you are planning to get into
higher echelons of happiness.
You should establish boundaries as regards all your activities, such as food,
clothing, entertainment, sex and alcoholic beverages. Sample resolution 1: I will
reduce my intake of alcohol by 50% during the next month, or to zero during the
next two months.
@ Level One: Reduce all causes of unhappiness.
Solve the day-to-day basic problems, such as
- Food and drinks
- Clothing
- Housing
- Sickness and medical facilities and
- Transport in accordance with your ability or within your financial frame.
@ Level Two: Acquire the basic knowledge, mental skills and attitudes necessary to sail
your life boat with ease. It is necessary to look at some important aspects such as:
Self Evaluation: It is necessary to take a serious look at your own life or inside your
own self. Only a minute percentage of the required knowledge about you, is
published or available with your mother or father. The balance, you will have to
acquire by your own analysis and thinking. The analysis should include the following:
- Your philosophy of life. If you have so far not had time to think of it, do it today.
- The Mind Skills that you have so far acquired and mastered.
- Your value structure. It is necessary for you to concentrate on the structure of
your basic values. Such as "I will not cross the legal boundaries in any of my
dealings or activities."

- Your body and its limitations.

@ Level Three: Reduce personal enmities and all embarrassing relationships.
Forget and forgive all those with whom you have been having differences
and fights. This could be a mental exercise and there is no necessity to
make it public
Understand and resolve family relation ships. Every member of your family
need the respect that they deserve. Without their support you can never be
happy. You have to live in a happy environment if you wish your life to be
happy.

comfortably in that environment.

not done it to make them feel happy by investing more time with them.
