5 Thoughts That
Will Make You
Instantly Happier
Malik Muhammad Ahad
Malik_ahad@hotmail.com
I want to be happy, you want to be happy — everyone wants to achieve this
mysterious state of bliss.
Happiness binds the entire universe together. The actions and motives of
every living human being are driven by our desire for it. But what sets apart
the truly happy tribe from others is that they've made the conscious choice
to be happy.

Happy people have learned that happiness starts with ourselves;
specifically, it sprouts from our thoughts. With just a couple thoughts, you
too can join the tribe of happy people all over the world! Start with these
five
Malik Muhammad Ahad
1. This too shall pass
When we're in the throws of a powerful emotion or situation, life can feel bleak
and hopeless. When life pushes you down — whether you're dealing with a
broken heart, a bruised ego, or an embarrassment — you can counter any
thoughts coming up with this one thought:
This too shall pass

This thought takes the permanence out of the negative emotion or situation and
creates space to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Grow your wisdom: Life is
in a constant state of flux, and everything will pass.

Malik Muhammad Ahad
2. You are not alone
It's common to get our feet stuck in deep and dark mental places. In dealing with
disease, divorce, death or downsizing, it's easy to become consumed by your grief,
and it's easy to feel like no one has ever felt as bad as you might feel right now. Guess
what? Someone else has — practically every living being has felt that exact emotion
at one time or another.
You are never alone.
Emotions are like storms; no matter how dark and turbulent, they'll clear and sunny
skies will rise again.

Malik Muhammad Ahad
3. Other people have good intentions
It's easy to think the worst of others. I'm guilty of this, but really it's just my own mind
being pessimistic and negative. This pessimism set me off into an unpleasant mental
spin.
Try thinking of others in a positive light.

Assume that they have good intentions. Appreciate and savor your relationships and
the love you have to give and receive from others.

Malik Muhammad Ahad
4. There's a bright side to every situation
Changing your perspective can do wonders for your mood and for the mood of those
around you. Let's say you begrudgingly must spend the day driving to a distant
appointment; instead of grumbling the entire way there, look on the bright side. It
might be a beautiful day for a drive! Enjoy the fresh air and listen to some music.
There's always a bright side.

So find it and drive out those negative thoughts. Happiness is here right now. In fact it's
never been anywhere else but here. Clear the dark storm clouds and rediscover the
bright blue sky waiting underneath.
Now smile. It’s not so bad.
Malik Muhammad Ahad
5. Slow down and breathe
Actually, say this aloud in your head over and over throughout the day.
Slow down and just breathe.

We need this constant reminder. Focus on one thing at a time try to infuse each
moment with your attention and presence. Without conscious breathing your life
will become riddled with anxiety and turmoil. Make your day a moving meditation.
