| The beginning of happiness |
| 06.02.04 (11:16 am) [edit] |
I'm starting this blog today to capture my thoughts around the subject of personality and happiness. There have been many researches and publications done around this subject, but I began to develop an interest in it only after I was exposed to the True Colours theory on personality dimension. Maybe because I am at the age of mid-life crisis, maybe because I am about to have a career change, but whatever the motivation, I find it important to re-confirm my true self at this stage of my life. It is natural for a person to look back at half-time on what has been accomplished, and decide if he/she wants to continue on the same path when it's all downhill from here physically, and unfortunately, mentally.
I find the power of True Colours, or Personality Dimension, to be its ability to simplify greatly the matter of human nature in a fairly accurate way. Combining with other daily applications, such as job search, child ed, and match making, True Colours helps average people such as myself easily recognize and identify the causes of our stress and satisfaction. Once understood, if we are determined to change and be happier, we can dive deeper into more comprehensive theories such as [url=http://skepdic.com/myersb.htm...]Myers-Briggs [/url] to further decompose our problems.
So, let’s begin my journey into the quest of the answer to this question: what makes a person truly happy?

Thanks for your comment petalpower. You're right about the basic needs and the layers of higher needs. I think you and I are very similar, and one of the reasons I chose this subject to experiment my blog is to satisfy my need to make it better for others. cheers.
