Well, i am sure for most of you GDH is Alien.
what if i ask, Whats the GDP ? In some other countries, GNP.
Most would be able to answer it.
GDH stands for Gross Domestic Happiness.
In our so called busy lives ,we tend to forget what exactly are we working for.
we read magazines to keep ourselves one step ahead the competition.we get acquainted with various financial,economic indicators. we know what GDP/GNP is, what is the P/E Ratio of the stock and we get so engrossed and used to our routine that we simply ignore our physical and emotional well being.We all give an simple excuse - lack of time.
If that excuse is real (most of the time it's not ), then its time to manage your time.Time to pause and look back and re-engineer your Life process.All i am asking you,inviting you to do is to keep a meeting with yourself every weekend .Reflect on the week that you have spent and review it and just see how can the work - life balance was, is there anything to be improved both at office and home as well,how much quality time did u spend with you kids and family.Because your GDH depends on it.
A simple way to do this is listing out 10 things that give you the most joy and see out of those 10 things how many things did you manage to do and rate yourself on scale of 1 to 10 and review if you are nearing to 10 every week.If you do so ;COnsider yourself the happiest person on the face of this earth and make merry and bask in the glory that your HQ (Hapiness Quotient ) is more than your IQ and EQ together.
So create this one more indicator,may be the most important indicator and Keep a Check on it.This is perhaps the best indicator of the quality of your life.
MAY THE INFINITE HAPINESS BE WITH YOU. ALWAYS.

If I am not mistaken the king of Bhutan has GDH as one of the key pointers to the success of his government.
