Hi
and welcome to this new post from Under Blue Skies. On these pages we provide pointers that will
help our readers to bring about change and assist them to reach their true
potential in life.
We
often work with people who aspire to better themselves, to become more self
confident and to make progress towards a version of themselves that understands
the concepts of success, achievement and personal development.
So
the topic of this post is dispelling certain myths that exist in modern day
life and that are potentially giving society a jaundiced view of living in the
21st Century.
So
let us dive right in and begin.
About Myth #1 – Image of
Beauty
Now
you might choose to call me old-fashioned on this point but I believe that
there is a huge pressure placed upon women to conform to an ideal image of
beauty that is almost impossible to achieve.
I
contend that these ideals are very much representative of a modern form of
oppression and as such they attack and undermine the long fought for and sort
after equality of the sexes.
About Myth #2 – Privacy
Thanks
to the development of telephone directories / driving licences / National
Insurance Numbers / Credit Cards / the Social Media platforms (Twitter,
Facebook and the like) / Online Shopping there is precious little privacy in
modern life.
A
search for myself on one of the major search engines turned up an entry on page
5 about one of my projects.
About Myth #3 –
Happiness is dependent on your purchasing power
Completely
untrue! Happiness is something that
comes from the inside and is in no way dependent upon how much you can buy or
how often you can go on a cruise or travel to foreign lands. Yes these things can be an aid to happiness
but you can just as easily be happy when you are broke. Happiness is a state of mind!
About Myth #4 –
Happiness is dependent on how much (stuff or money) you accumulate.
Again
not true – you can be as happy without the trappings of modern life as you are
with them (and sometimes even more so without the burden of such things)
About Myth #5 –
Happiness has to be earned.
WHY????
Can
you not be happy looking at a sunset?
Can you not be happy watching your children play? Where is it written that you have to earn
happiness?
About Myth #6 –
Happiness is based on achieving your desires and dreams.
Another
cart load of mythology here, if you are only happy when you get to those things
you are going to live a life quite devoid of happiness. Happiness is also about the journey not just
reaching the destination.
About Myth #7 –
Happiness is always in the future.
Why
wait? You can be happy now and always –
the future is always something that moves away from you at the exact same rate
as you move forward in your life. In
other words, the future is always the future!
About Myth #8 –
Happiness is only possible if everything is perfect.
Say
what? Do you think that perfection is
the bringer of happiness? As I mentioned
in the above point about the future, perfection is an idealistic dream and as
such can never be attained. Yes we can
come close to perfection but even a certain make of luxury car (that has the
initials RR and costs many thousands of pounds) can break down on a journey.
About Myth #9 –
Happiness is dependent upon others.
Again
I disagree! You do not NEED other people
to be happy. For example what about if
you were walking on a beach, the sky is blue, you are barefoot and it is a
sunny day. You have eaten, you have
quenched you thirst, you watch a dog splashing in the water, birds singing and
wheeling overhead. Are you really going
to need other people for your happiness?
About Myth #10 – Older
people lead boring lives!
Are
you kidding me? I know of many people
who are a lot older than I am and they live amazing lives.
They
are busy, they travel to foreign countries if they want to, they don’t have the
pressures of going to work. Many of them
are free to come and go just as they please without having to answer or justify
themselves to anyone.
So
that brings me to the end of this post and I sincerely hope that having read it
you start to take a look at your own life and see if there are some areas that
could benefit from a shift in thinking.
