Success Won't Make You Happy. Here's Why.
OZANVAROL.COM -- The coach of the first-ever Jamaican Olympic bobsled team told them: "A gold medal is a wonderful thing. But if you're not enough without one, you'll never be enough with one." I ignored this advice chasing one gold medal after the next. When success arrives, we get a dollop of temporary satisfaction, but return to our pre-success level of happiness. That dream job, coveted title, lavish apartment become the new normal. Then we up the ante. It's no longer enough to hit the New York Times bestseller list, you have to hit #1. Then you must stay #1 for weeks. Then months. If you're not happy now, you won't be happy when success arrives. You're far better off ...
When Happiness Becomes the Way
DARIUSFOROUX.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Mawlana Sultan Muhammad Shah's "Philosophy of Happiness": "Learn to desire the thing that happens, and not try to mould events to their desires."] ARTICLE: I'll be happy when I make six figures. I'll be happy when I have a partner. I'll be happy when I move to a big city. I'll be happy when I have a rich social life. Can you relate to that? It's called conditional happiness. Modern society implies happiness is some kind of outcome -- something you can achieve. The problem with chasing happiness and other outcomes is that you create inner conflict. When you get what you don't want, you're unhappy. And when you don't you're also unhappy. The fix is simple: Avoid desires and aversions. What if your life is already good as it is? What if happiness is not a goal but a way of life? The Buddhist monk ...
22nd Imam - al-Qahir - by Mumtaz Ali Tajddin
GOOGLE.COM -- Imam al-Qahir's official name with Alamut's records was Hasan bin Muhammad, also known as Hasan I. His period was very peaceful, because the Seljuq had not waged any wars against Ismailis. The Nizari state was recognized by neighbouring rulers and Nizari coinage was in circulation. The dawr-i satr was about to end and, therefore, Imam al-Kahir arranged its celebration. When the Imam and his successors officially took charge of Alamut, the Iranian people and rulers feared the Aliad descended rulers of Alamut would attract a large following of Shi'ites in Iran and also threaten their political influence, so they amplified their bitter propaganda. The ruling powers did not ...

Apple's Screen Time feature proves you're addicted to your iPhone
CNN.COM -- "The biochemistry of your brain is urging you to check in [with your phone]. That's really hard to change," said Dr. Larry Rosen. His research shows that young adults spend about 5 hours a day, or 35 hours a week, on their devices and glance at them 50 to 60 times a day. Apple's Screen Time app says I spent 36 hours on my iPhone last week and picked it up 75 times a day. That shocked me almost as much as learning I look at the damned thing every 6 minutes! Apps like Apple's new Screen Time won't solve tech addiction but, Rosen says, they'll make people aware of it. And that's the point. ...
