Success Happy

What is the link between happiness and metaphysics?

How do you manifest your own happiness? Do you state that you have and deserve your own true happiness and then allow the Universe to bring to you, the things which make you truly happy? or Do you pay attention to what you already have, and cultivate a feeling of inner happiness in the present? Then you attract your true happiness because you are giving out a happiness vibration, without any resistant energies, and because you are in a state of gratitude.

1. Isn't that the missing link?
2. It would seem obvious that your world-view, your perspective on the universe, must affect the degree to which you are happy or unhappy. However, this is a difficult question, principally because of the terms which it contains. Ever since the time of Aristotle philosophers have argued as to precisely what "metaphysics" is. Even so, metaphysics has proved to be a simpler word than "happiness". For example, how do you define happiness? And, having defined it, how do you go about measuring it?
3. Pardon the cut/n/paste, but this says it all so neatly. "Metaphysics is the foundation of philosophy. Without an explanation or an interpretation of the world around us, we would be helpless to deal with reality. We could not feed ourselves, or act to preserve our lives. The degree to which our metaphysical worldview is correct is the degree to which we are able to comprehend the world, and act accordingly. Without this firm foundation, all knowledge becomes suspect. Any flaw in our view of reality will make it more difficult to live." http://www.importanceofphilosophy.com/Metaphysics_Main.html If your metaphysics is flawed, and life becomes hard to live, you will find it hard to be happy. The more first the foundation, the less time you have to work at correcting your mistakes, and the happier you become--or at least, the more time you have to try to be happy.
4. You only decide if you are happy - or not. There is not any relation of Happiness to WHATEVER ELSE. About happiness and metaphysics - you only decide if you will connect those both - or no.
5. there is no link... happiness is happiness... it does not need big words or big ideas, it is just BEING HAPPY!
6. Depending on which thinker is doing the metaphysics, one can find some intellectual answers to your question. But if you are thinking about realizing happiness instead of simply thinking about it, one of the best ways is to look at recent scientific studies on the sources of happiness, which are way more reliable than pure speculation. The science clearly shows that we can achieve greater happiness through certain actions and habits that we can cultivate. The famous Japanese Confucian Ogyu Sorai once said, "One cannot control the mind simply by means of the mind."
