Good Life? Positive Psychology?


I am taking a real newly introduced course - Positive Psychology this semester.
It was introduced by Martin Seligman in year 2000.

Most of the time, when comes to psychology, we have a general idea that it is all about curing mental illness, negative emotions and obstacles in day-to-day life.

HOWEVER,

It is not just about the bad side of human BUT the GOOD one as well.

Through the introduction of this course, I get to know more in depth with WHAT IS POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY.

How to have a good life? What is a good life? Who am I and what is my strength? How to pursue my goals and live a happy life? How happy am I today? Am I really that happy like what I have said?

Positive... I got reflected a bit at the end of the day, somehow, we can just be so peaceful, so calm by accepting what is coming to us.

This afternoon, I was having my first-ever tutorial class with only ME and the tutor. Cant believe I will have this kind of experience for being the one and only student in that particular tutorial.

I can say that it was really a good and maybe I shall say it is the best tutorial I have had. I get to reflect a lots of my thoughts, disclose a lots not like other times.

After the class, I was walking all alone in such a beautiful yet peaceful surroundings.

Life can be just so simple yet contented!

What more to say a GOOD Life??

To have a good life, it is an ongoing process, no destination towards the end.

A beautiful quote of the day "Study Positive Psychology not for the sack of passing the exam but to relate it to your life", by a nice tutor!
