FGTF Series –Modern times Unmodern Living-Part I

What is FGTF? Training the Mind for Everyday Happiness

Hello Friends,

We live in a time where everything is measured.

Mileage of a car, storage of a phone, speed of internet…


Even success has numbers attached to it.



Somewhere along the way, happiness also got measured.

People started believing:

  • More money = more happiness
  • More success = more happiness
  • Bigger events = bigger happiness

But if this was completely true, then every successful person would be deeply happy.
And we know that is not always the case.

So where is the gap?


🌱 Introducing FGTF

I call it:

πŸ‘‰ FGTF – Feel Good Trigger Factor

FGTF simply means:

How easily your mind feels happy from small positive events.


🌼 High FGTF vs Low FGTF

A person with high FGTF:

  • Feels happy with small things  
  •   Doesn’t wait for big moments   
  • Finds joy in daily life                        

A person with low FGTF:

  • Needs big achievements to feel happy
  • Ignores small positives
  • Remains mostly neutral or dissatisfied

🌿 Simple Examples

A high FGTF mind can feel good when:

  • Traffic is less than usual
  • Tea tastes just right                                        








  • A normal day passes peacefully
  • A short walk feels refreshing

A low FGTF mind may only feel happy when:

  • Promotion happens
  • Big purchase is made
  • Others appreciate or validate

🧘 The Real Insight

Life gives us many small positive moments daily.

But:

  • Some minds notice them
  • Some minds ignore them

That difference is FGTF.


⚖️ A Small Reflection                                   








If nothing bad happens in a day,
that itself is a good day.

But how many of us feel happy about it?


πŸŒ„ Why This Matters

If your happiness depends only on big events:

  • It will come rarely
  • It will go quickly

But if your mind responds to small moments:

  • Happiness becomes frequent
  • Life feels lighter

Closing Thought for the Mind

“Happiness is not in waiting for big moments,
but in allowing small moments to feel enough.”

I will be coming up with a Series on this philosophy and every week or fortnight a new post will be here with new thoughts and new dimensions for a fulfilling life to live, in this materialistic world.
