Thrive

In the last week have been assigned to read a last chapter of a book that his name is Thrive. The definition of Thrive is long term of happiness. In this reading I have been intrudes to things that I have never knew that can influence so much about an individual happiness. There are 6 life domains that we can shape our chances for happiness for the long term. The author call them Thrive Centers and they are: 1. Community, 2. Workplace, 3. Social Life, 4. Financial Life, 5. Home, and 6. Self. For community the thing that influence us the most are the nation, state, country, city, or suburb in which you live. For workplace the things that influence us are your job site, or wherever you spend most of your working hours. For social life the circle of friends, acquaintances, and others with whom you come in contact regularly are the things that influence us. For financial life the thing that influence us are the savings and spending strategies you adopt. For home the thing that influence us are the house we live, apartment, or condo and the yard or grounds around it. For self the thing that influence us are our education, sense of purpose, and health strategies. Another important concept that I took from this reading that influence our happiness is: MEMORIES! (that is under a research that had made on brain's hardwiring). We tend has human being to relates our life on high/ low points that happened to us during the year, and not actually remember the happy things that we have been throw. For example we tend to remember how the waitress spilled all the soup over our cloth, but we don't remember how all the family had met for a dinner after a long time for not seen each other and all the fun they had sharing all  the stories from the last time they saw each other.
