I also believe we are all driven by our emotions and we are all looking for happiness.

But what does ‘Feeling Happy’ really mean ?

Words are very powerful and can really hurt so It is quite important to be accurate when we express ourselves.

We are not our emotions, we are feeling them.

Understanding this will allow us to move from a painful sensation to a better emotion.

And, I have been asking myself what makes us most happy?

The answer I found is: when we are recognised, when we are significant.

When we feel connected to others and identified as a unique individual, only then we experience happiness.

It is like a bit like a ‘switch’. We are aware about existing physically and mentally, but we need someone to complete the circuit to exist emotionally.

This mean that we only feel complete if we are, somehow, welcomed by our parents and our peers.

Our first experience is on our very first day on this planet, just after we are born.

That moment when your Mother and your Father welcome you is your very first encounter with existence; when you are physically and mentally recognised.

This will imprint on your brain forever as a core memory of your individuality.

I admit it does sound quite technical. What is the difference between a memory and a core memory. I will answer by asking you one question: What are you more likely to remember?

– A warm sunny day in Cornwall enjoying a nice ice cream or the day you are invited to do a Tedx talk?

Well for me, that was easy…
