People often postpone their dreams under the pretext that they depend on ideal conditions. However, it is not uncommon for them to be disappointed with their lives and remorse comes too late. They failed to invest in their positive emotions, did not apply enough in their relationships, and the result could be a depressive cycle and other problems.
Combining the logic required in professional life with emotional intelligence is one of the most exciting challenges today. Daniel Goleman revolutionized and promoted the revival of psychology, with relevant contributions to therapists, coaches and leaders, raising a number of questions about the universe of emotions and their relationship to happiness. Just as financial education is important in securing current income for the future, it is necessary to take actions that equate to these investments in the emotional field, since happy people have a common trait: the strength and solidity of their personal relationships. Arguing whether money brings happiness is like debating about the sex of angels. The benefits that money brings are greater than the problems. But that’s not all. People can be happy with very little or unhappy even being millionaires. The search for material compensation can restrict the joys of life to obtaining usefulness: momentary, specific, and limited.
Happiness is much more than a succession of moments of joy, for it is a state of wholeness and does not depend only on the ephemeral satisfaction of achievements or blows of luck. Investing in healthy relationships is as important as confirming good cash balances. It is these memories that will reinforce trust and faith in life by remembering the people who have had an important career role, difficult beginnings and transitions, others who have been present in happy moments and achievements. In short, the quality of life is intimately related to the sense of gratitude and joy of the moments that build the experience in each one’s history.
