When the search for hap­pi­ness moves the control centre

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

What a title! Let’s see what it means. The locus of control is, in jar­gon terms, the place where you can find the controls that control your…life. When you put it that way, it’s a lit­tle intense, but let me explain my unders­tan­ding of the concept.

If you want to achieve your concept of hap­pi­ness, you inevi­ta­bly have to face up to two views of the world. The first implies that eve­ry­thing that hap­pens to you is the conse­quence of exter­nal acts. We can include the fac­tor of “luck” in this. Even if a four-leaf clo­ver can bring you good for­tune, from a scien­ti­fic point of view, it is impos­sible to cau­sal­ly prove it. Unfor­tu­na­te­ly, this exter­nal control centre offers lit­tle means to the main inter­es­ted party.

Regar­ding the inter­nal control centre, it repre­sents ano­ther view of the world that cor­res­ponds to the power we have over crea­ting our own hap­pi­ness. At first, we will natu­ral­ly seek to create exter­nal events that will make us hap­py – wealth, for example – but we will even­tual­ly evolve towards a sof­ter, abs­tract and indi­rect appre­cia­tion of hap­pi­ness, which at the same time will represent a quan­ti­ty of micro­sco­pic ener­gy com­pa­red to what we have pro­vi­ded in the past.
