Play Full Episode: Pursuit of Happiness

Kambiz Naficy gave this important talk about the pursuit of happiness in September of 2017 in the French countryside of Saint Georges. In this talk, Kambiz outlines the age-old pillars of happiness and which distractions of the mind pull you away from happiness.

• At a basic level, we all need health, adequate wealth, a life-purpose, love, security, food & shelter, and a connection to a Higher Force beyond our ego.
• The battleground of happiness is your mind; happiness is a decision you take in your mind. Strengthen and cleanse you mind so you can work with this moment to bring out happiness.
• Do not try to satisfy your ego, and five senses, because these parts of you cannot remain content. If you try to satisfy your five senses with a brand- new watch, ten minutes later, they will notice yet another desirable watch!
• Happiness comes from progress; keep on moving in all areas of your life; whichever part of life stagnates, that part of your life falls into a rut.
• Happiness arises from deeper self-exploration, self-love, and deeper relationships with others. Instant gratification and pursuing endless variety is just a form of avoidance. Dig deeper into your life, walk through fear and pain, and on the other side you will discover happiness.
• You spend your days with your profession and your nights with your mate. Therefore, the two most important decisions of your life are your career (life-purpose), and the partner that you pick.
• If you want to find love, be realistic about relationships. The lasting relationships are those that you are willing to work on.
• We live in a world of consciousness, and whatever you place your attention on, flourishes. Place your attention on what really matters.
