YOUR HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON YOU
Happiness is a choice.
People who are mostly joyful, know happiness is a choice they must consciously make.
No one can be “happy go lucky” all the time. However, some people have the uncanny ability to see the goodness in all things, thereby pulling fulfillment from it all.
Happiness boils down to your attitude, your overall perspective on life, and the quality of relationships you keep.
If you see life’s everyday challenges and circumstances as roadblocks on your way to everlasting bliss, you have a “clouded vision of reality”.
If you feel loved and appreciated by the people around you, chances are you have a good baseline of happiness.
The first step to filling yourself with happiness, no matter what life “throws at you” is taking responsibility.
That means: stop blaming everyone and everything around you for your inability to be happy.
The second step is to fully accept who you are, and what is happening in your life.
The third step is making changes: make a conscious effort to turn your personal “stock of lemons” (hurt feelings, failures, etc.) into a sweet, thirst quenching delicious lemonade.
All you need to do is release meanings which are not serving you, and change the way you view things.
You guessed right: it all happens in that “gray matter” between your ears…
For example, let’s assume you are on your way to an important meeting; you are in you car, anxious and nervous and can’t wait to get there all ready.
Suddenly you hear a thump, you have a flat tire… What to do?
You can become angry and curse the road, the traffic, people… pretty much anything that is in your immediate view.
Or on the contrary, you can thank God/universe for saving you from an even a greater disaster…
Remember, you are greatly influenced by how you think and feel.. If you don’t like something, change it!
