L’ALGORITHME DU BONHEUR - EST-CE QUE L’ARGENT REND HEUREUX ?
20 janvier 2021
Écrit par: Luc Dumont
Dans notre recherche de l’algorithme du bonheur, nous ne pouvons pas esquiver la question de l’argent. Chaque être humain sur la Terre, peu importe sa culture, sa nationalité, la couleur de sa peau a besoin d’un minimum d’argent pour survivre.
La question est de savoir, est-ce que ceux qui ont beaucoup d’argent sont plus heureux que ceux qui en manquent ? Si je me fonde sur les rencontres que j’ai faites au fil des ans, je peux affirmer que j’ai rencontré des individus avec beaucoup d’argent et d’autres avec très peu. Dans les deux cas, j’ai vu des heureux et des malheureux.
Mais ceux qui veulent s’enrichir tombent dans la tentation, dans le piège, et dans beaucoup de désirs insensés et pernicieux qui plongent les hommes dans la ruine et la perdition. Car l’amour de l’argent est une racine de tous les maux ; et quelques-uns, en étant possédés, se sont égarés loin de la foi, et se sont jetés eux-mêmes dans bien des tourments.
1Timothée 6:9-11
J’ai entendu souvent cette déclaration fausse : « l’argent est la racine de tous les maux ». Ce n’est pas ce que dit la Bible. Ce qu’elle déclare, c’est que « l’amour de l’argent » est la racine de tous les maux. Dans le texte grec, « amour de l’argent », philarguria, signifie : avarice et convoitise des choses matérielles.
J’ai observé que l’amour de l’argent n’est pas uniquement un problème de riches comme certains semblent le dire. Il y a des pauvres qui ne pensent qu’à l’argent et qui sont prêts à faire n’importe quel compromis pour lui. Les prisons sont remplies de personnes qui ont fait des crimes pour de l’argent alors que des gens fortunés sont totalement libres des possessions matérielles et de la poursuite pécuniaire.
Jésus nous donne la réponse à ce dilemme :
« Nul ne peut servir deux maîtres. Car, ou il haïra l’un, et aimera l’autre ; ou il s’attachera à l’un, et méprisera l’autre. Vous ne pouvez servir Dieu et Mamon. »
Matthieu 6:24
Le mot grec pour servir est douleuó qui veut aussi dire « esclave », et maître vient de kurios, quelqu’un ou quelque chose qui nous possède totalement. Le nom « Mamon » dans le grec mamónas est connecté aux richesses et aux possessions matérielles.
Ceux qui sont esclaves de Mamon ne peuvent pas être heureux. En effet, ils sont dominés par une illusion et par quelque chose qui ne pourra jamais vraiment les combler. Toutefois, cela ne veut pas dire que nous devons faire le vœu de pauvreté et que gagner de l’argent est la racine de tous les maux.
La grande question à se poser est la suivante : « suis-je esclave de l’argent ou est-ce que l’argent est à mon service ? » Par exemple, la personne qui s’empêche de poursuivre sa destinée d’artiste, d’aller dans le ministère, de réaliser la carrière qui lui correspond vraiment, car elle est prisonnière d’un emploi très rémunérateur qu’elle n’aime pas pour payer un style de vie de surconsommation, est esclave de l’argent. Par conséquent, peu importe le montant d’argent qu’elle possèdera, elle ne sera jamais pleinement heureuse.
Pour être heureux, il faut passer d’esclave à maitre, et la bonne nouvelle, c’est possible.
Au contraire, l’entrepreneur passionné par son métier qui fait beaucoup d’argent tout en soutenant fidèlement l’œuvre de Dieu, en comblant les besoins autour de lui et qui se sert de l’argent pour accomplir sa destinée n’est pas un esclave des finances et peut ainsi vivre dans le bonheur.
L’argent ne rend pas heureux, c’est évident si tu en es l’esclave. Cela dit, en avoir pour subvenir aux besoins de sa famille, avoir la liberté de choisir là où nous voulons habiter ou l’école où nous voulons envoyer nos enfants et avoir le choix de travailler dans le domaine qui nous passionne sans être écrasé par les créanciers ou de pouvoir dormir tranquille la nuit, n’est pas néfaste. De plus, posséder de l’argent sur un compte sans se compromettre pour payer nos factures ne peut pas nuire à notre bonheur.
« Mieux vaut être d’une condition humble et avoir un serviteur, que de faire le glorieux et de manquer de pain. »
Proverbes 12:9
« Tel fait le riche et n’a rien du tout, Tel fait le pauvre et a de grands biens. »
Proverbes 13:7
Ces deux passages dans le Livre des Proverbes illustrent bien l’équilibre qui conduit au bonheur et la différence entre être esclave de l’argent, des possessions matérielles et se servir de l’argent. Ces versets me font penser à cet homme que j’ai rencontré un jour qui était vêtu comme un millionnaire, qui avait un téléphone portable dernière génération et qui portait à son poignet une montre de grand prix, mais qui habitait dans un HLM et n’avait pas de quoi nourrir ses enfants. L’esclavage de Mamon est très subtil.
En contrepartie, je regardais, récemment, un reportage sur Warren Buffet, l’un des investisseurs les plus riches au monde, multimilliardaire. Il habite, lui, encore dans la même maison qu’il a achetée en 1958 pour 31 500 $ (25 000 euros).
Lorsque « Mamon » est ton maitre, tu crois que la voiture de luxe, les vêtements, les bijoux, les voyages exotiques et les choses que l’argent achète vont te rendre heureux, mais en réalité, elles vont faire de toi un esclave plus lié que jamais.
Le problème n’est pas la voiture, ni la maison, ni les bijoux. Le problème est dans le cœur. Pour être heureux, il faut passer d’esclave à maitre, et la bonne nouvelle, c’est possible.
Si tu développes l’intelligence financière, que tu choisis de rechercher en priorité le royaume de Dieu et prospérer selon Lui, tu vas entrer dans une vie de liberté et le bonheur sera au rendez-vous.
« Puis il leur dit : Gardez-vous avec soin de toute avarice ; car la vie d’un homme ne dépend pas de ses biens, fût-il dans l’abondance. »
Luc 12:15
La vie dont parle Jésus ici est la vie zóé, en grec qui signifie, la vie en abondance, la plénitude de la vie et vivre vraiment. Celui qui arrive à saisir la vie en abondance dont parle Jésus, qui est libre dans son cœur et qui est épanoui dans tous les aspects de sa vie en réalisant sa destinée vivra dans le bonheur.
« Cherchez premièrement le royaume et la justice de Dieu ; et toutes ces choses vous seront données par-dessus. »
Matthieu 6:33
Est-ce que l’argent rend heureux ? Bien sûr que non, mais en manquer nuit grandement à la qualité de notre vie. Voilà pourquoi il est impératif de prendre le sujet de l’argent au sérieux et de s’instruire sur comment administrer nos finances selon les fondements de la Bible.

I got this web page from my friend who told me on the
topic of this website and now this time I
am browsing this site and reading very informative articles or reviews at this place.
Paragraph writing is also a fun, if you be acquainted with after that you
can write if not it is complicated to write.
As we talked about, dumbbells are mentioned to provide higher activation of the pecs, but not as nice of a load can be used.
So, they are very efficient and most lifters use dumbbells
as a lot if no more than barbells. Usually they will use barbell for one primary lift (i.e.
flat bench or incline bench) and then dumbbells for the opposite
pressing variations or chest workout routines.
Isolating the chest with pre-exhaustion strategies before presses can intensify muscle
workload. Begin with flyes before pressing movements for a sophisticated
muscle-building strategy. Switching between dumbbell and barbell presses can maintain muscles guessing and advancing.
Periodize training, oscillating between volume and intensity
phases for sustainable progression. Focus on keeping your wrists straight so that they
are perpendicular to the bottom all through
the exercise to stop wrist injury.
You might be following one of the best chest workout program
on the planet; however when you aren’t occurring an efficient bulk, you’ll not construct a
big quantity of muscle. This lets you push the dumbbells together with your chest somewhat than along with
your arms. If dumbbells aren’t stacked immediately
above your elbows, you won’t be in a position to transmit the force out of your pecs to
the dumbbells. This inherently makes this movement unstable
since you do not have your physique weight urgent your toes into the bottom.
The cause I Am asking it’s because I really feel safer getting again into weightlifting, by myself.
I do not feel like I want a spotter once I bench with dumbells as a end
result of I can simply toss them to the perimeters if I chunk greater than I can chew.
I really feel prefer it takes extra strength to stability them anyhow so it’s
virtually a greater train anyhow.
Incrementally improve weights or reps in your dumbbell chest press and barbell press classes.
Track progress and persistently problem your muscular tissues

No, the dumbbell bench press is not harmful if the athlete
uses the correct form and lifts an appropriate quantity of weight.
One of the primary benefits of the dumbbell bench press is the greater vary of motion. To maximize this profit, the load must be beneath your chest
on the backside of the press. At the highest of the press, you

All in all, the flat bench press would all the time be thought-about a primary lift, not an assistance raise like incline or decline bench presses may be depending on the
program. We will go over programming bench press into your routine later
in this guide. The bench press plays an important function in weightlifting, bodybuilding, and powerlifting as it is certainly one of a number of staple compound workout routines.

You also wants to think about practicing the cues utilized by
judges in a powerlifting competition. Functionally, the
dumbbell incline press transfers naturally to a range of pushing and pressing motions, similar to pushing open a heavy door or placing
groceries away on elevated shelves. If your bench is adjustable, set
the incline to between 30- to 45-degrees.
The bigger the angle, the extra the exercise will interact the shoulders.
After those 2 weeks, you can begin to use progressive overload by lifting heavier dumbbells
and lowering reps. Let’s clarify- it’s okay if you are a thin newbie to raise mild and in excessive rep ranges of 15+
per set if you first begin coaching.
However, if you need to gain sheer power, compete in a powerlifting meet,
or have extra energy & explosiveness on the sphere, a flat bench
press is the finest way to go. Whether you’re an athlete or not, it’s a good idea to include each bench press
variations into your routine. They might target the same muscle teams, however they each supply unique benefits.
Throughout this step, you would possibly be
making ready your body to execute the lift.
This step is the muse of performing the dumbbell
bench press. The triceps brachii is positioned on the backside of your
higher arm. When you straighten your arms, the dumbbell bench press works your triceps at the finish of
the press. Variations of the dumbbell bench press include
the incline, decline, flooring, wrist rotation, neutral grip, alternating, and
single-arm.
Most individuals use this grip if they actually need
to hone in on their chest and take emphasis off their triceps
and stop the shoulders from being a limiting issue. The muscle tissue of
the shoulder joint, shoulder girdle, and elbow joint are involved within the flat bench dumbbell
press. In the shoulder joint, the anterior deltoid, corachobrachialis, and middle pectoralis main muscular tissues
are in action. The deltoid is a three-headed muscle that covers the
entrance, high and back of the shoulder. In this exercise, it’s mainly the anterior and middle deltoid that are concerned.
The corachobrachialis is a comparatively small muscle positioned deep underneath the deltoid
and pectoralis major muscle tissue running from the scapula to the inside floor of
the humerus.
You won’t want far more area beyond the area required for the bench
itself. Additionally, you can even strive other bench press variations to emphasize completely different muscle tissue in the chest,
arms, and shoulders. I began going to the fitness center three weeks ago and made a schedule with slightly help from r/bodybuilding.
So to my query, at present was chest day so I started doing dumbbell press and dumbbell flys.
Whereas taking a break I seen that everyone doing dumbbell
press and flys have been doing incline dumbbell press and flys.
My query witch are higher, are they the identical and may I do both.
1– With a dumbbell in every hand, arrange for dumbbell bench
presses as traditional.
With that in thoughts, the flat bench press shall be your most “generalist” of
these three bench press variations. The incline bench press is
often the second hottest choice to perform and the decline press is the most
particular and sometimes least used. The dumbbell bench press is a compound exercise
that targets the pectorals, triceps, deltoids, and
rotator cuffs..
Its simplicity and effectiveness make it a staple in gyms worldwide.
In this complete guide, we’ll discover flat bench workouts, the muscular tissues they aim, advantages, variations,
common errors, and tips to maximize your results.
None of this means the barbell bench press is a foul exercise, but doing bench press with dumbbells will get round all of those drawbacks.
In addition, adding dumbbell bench presses to your workouts will improve train variety.
Studies tell us that selection is simply as important as, sets,
reps, and weight for constructing muscle and energy (1).
The best exercise for you is decided by your particular person targets and abilities.
If you’re aiming for improved muscle steadiness and joint health, the flat dumbbell press is
the superior option. For maximum strength gains, the
barbell bench press could be higher suited. Since the flat bench press
is type of a demanding train, it’s finest to perform it close to the start
of a exercise when you’re not overly fatigued. If your goal is
energy, give attention to lifting within the 1-5 rep vary.
Nevertheless, if you’re seeking to construct muscle, it’s higher to
carry in the 8-12 rep vary. To refine dumbbell and barbell
chest presses, engage in paused reps. This amps up pressure and enhances muscle stimulation. Incline variations goal the upper pecs more, and flat bench targets overall chest growth.
As I get heavier I plan on switching to dumbells but I Am questioning if this can put me at any type of drawback.
This train not solely allows you to work one arm at a time, but it’s going to additionally enhance coordination and core energy.
It’s a great exercise for muscular endurance and works well when used as
part of a fat-burning circuit exercise. 2– Bend your arms and decrease the weights till the back
of your arms lightly touch the floor.
You can even considerably engage your core by performing the exercise as a single-arm kettlebell incline press.
Dumbbells are one of the best instruments to build muscle and remodel your
skinny body. But with so many different actions, how are you aware which ones
to include in your exercise program?
Decrease the dumbbells towards your chest, keeping your elbows flared
out.four. The alternative between neutral grip and parallel grip bench press is dependent upon your individual fitness
objectives and physical capabilities. With that in thoughts, there,
there are right and mistaken ways to get yourself into place for the dumbbell
bench press. First I will clarify the proper setup in a step-by-step course of.
But organising the exercise can be difficult if you finish up by yourself.
As the dumbells required turn out to be very
heavy it will get to be increasingly tough.
The heavier the dumbbells get the harder it’s to get them up right into a place from which to press them,
not to mention actually do the train.
Conversely, the bench press often permits heavier lifts, leading to potential mass
gains, and serves as a benchmark for strength.
Both have distinct advantages tailored for various targets, and integrating each may end up
in a comprehensive higher body growth. Yes, dumbbell presses can be an alternate, specializing in stabilizing muscles and offering variation, but
shouldn’t utterly replace bench presses if looking for maximal energy positive aspects.
Typically speaking, superior lifters ought to be succesful of flat bench press with dumbbells that weigh
a hundred and twenty to 140% (both dumbbells combined) of their
body weight for a single repetition. Whether Or Not you are bored of barbell bench presses, or just want to
add some variation to your higher body workouts, the dumbbell bench press is an effective choice.
