Memories create happiness or unhappiness.
Memories are based on how your reality has been .
Reality is perceived by what you choose to focus on.
Your choice of focus is determined by your values, beliefs, tastes, interests, desires, expectations and ambitions.
As people have different values, beliefs, interests and ambitions, their perception of reality differs since they feel differently in the same situations, notice different things and react differently. Thus , memories are created differently and happiness is defined differently . Health problems arise by these perceptions of memories and are hence, created uniquely by each as will be explained in further blogs.
the following excerpt from the book HOW TO BE HAPPY IN DIFFICULTIES , is an illustration or how memories are created and perceive as real.
From a layman perspective, we believe that we feel the way we do about reality because that is how it exists. However contrary to popular presumptions, from the scientific perspective, our feelings or our perception of reality is not dependent on what happens in the external world but upon how we choose to feel through different altitudes of experiences.

Our mind receives
millions of sensations at any given moment but it can process only a few at a
given time due to its limited focusing capacity. So, our mind has to give
selective attention to the reality happening outside. Thus, it gives attention
to some external stimulus only, and ignores/rejects the remaining bits of
information coming its way.
At any one moment,
about 2.3 million bits of information pass our way. However, we can focus on
and internalize, into our subconscious mind, a maximum of 7 + or - 2 units of
information. The remaining information gets rejected.
At an
energy transmission level, the external stimulus which the mind gives attention
to is chosen in the following manner:
Each form
of physical energy in the environment, whether it is light, sound, touch,
smell, or taste, is a manifestation of energy since everything in the universe
is made up of energy.
Matter or energy is always vibrating at a certain frequency .Different
forms of energy are distinguished depending on the frequency each vibrates in.
For example, solids are distinguished from air or water because the atoms or
molecules in each vibrate at a different frequency.
Every thought which is recorded in
our mind carries energy, in the form of an attached feeling. The feeling has an
energy component and an individual frequency.
This feeling or
energy component in the thought makes us aware that something exists in the
external world. For example, when we think of our work, we have some kind of a
picture coming to our mind which has a feeling attached.
Memories are made of
feelings. Any thought which does not
have a feeling attached is a fleeting thought and is not recorded by the mind,
because its energy component dissipates as soon as the physical stimulus which
created it disappears.
E.g. At the end of a
day, we remember how we felt more than any other physical aspect of reality. We
come across several bits of information like the color of an office door, the
design of a car seat, the fabric of our dress material, the model of our phone,
the pen on the table etc. but we do not record these details as reality.
We dismiss physical
details as peripheral aspects of reality which can be ignored unless there is
an element of a feeling attached with the physical detail. To illustrate, if a
colleagues’ dress evokes jealousy, we would remember it as jealousy is a
feeling. Or, if a car seat evokes great positive feelings of comfort, we would
remember it later.
We remember only those
details which create some sensation within us. The sensation generates a
negative or positive feeling in the body. We recall odd or striking occurrences
of the day because they generate strong feelings within us. Our stress,
happiness and memories are largely made only of feelings. Physical details only
add depth to the feelings or emotions being recorded.
In brief, we
only record thoughts which have feelings or emotions attached to them and do
not record thoughts which do not have feelings attached to them. Memories are
emotional data recorded in the brain.
