Editor's Notes
- If you pursue happiness directly, it evades you but you feel entitled to it… And it’s wonderful. You might have to work hard, but you'd have a grand time doing it.
- Have you been able to catch it?
- That is to say that happiness is not just gonna flop down into your lap. You have to get up off your backside and actively pursue it!
- To not make your happiness depend on desires. Negative feelings are in you, not in reality. So stop trying to change reality. That's crazy! Stop trying to change the other person. We spend all our time and energy trying to change external circumstances, trying to change our spouses, our bosses, our friends, our enemies, and everybody else. We don't have to change anything. Negative feelings are in you. No person on earth has the power to make you unhappy. There is no event on earth that has the power to disturb you or hurt you. No event, condition, situation, or person. Nobody told you this; they told you the opposite. That's why you're in the mess that you're in right now. That is why you're asleep. They never told you this. But it's self-evident.
- Celebrate Life!!! And TODAY is always the best time to do so. Many of us either lived by the memories of the past or by our dreams of tomorrow that we tend to neglect what we have now. We fail to live the life that we have at present. Celebrate Life means to live in the most certain day of our life, that is, TODAY. Keep a notebook and write a “Thankful List”. In a day, how many times do you complain on something? On the other hand, how many times do you think of the things you are grateful of? Sometimes we get too consumed by our anxieties that we tend to live a life of negativity. Instead of listing and appreciating all the things we are grateful for, we just named all the things we are ungrateful of. Thoughts can create both happiness and unhappiness. And to help you think happiness, start by listing down the things you are grateful and thankful for. Create a Happy Outlet. Who we are and what we become is a mixture of our choice and the environment we live in. Not all, but most of the time, if you want to know who you are, you don’t need to look far, you just have to look at your environment, the people and place that surrounds you. So if you want to create a change in your unhappy life, you can do so by creating a happy environment, a place that will make you smile. And most importantly, surround yourself with positive people. Remove “If Only”then replace it with “I Want”. Many of us eat our hearts out, suffering from the contagious “If Only” disease. Like: if only i had more money; if only i had nicer clothes, car or house: if only i have better spouse; if only i have more friends; and a lot of if only. Discontentment not only lures us to have self-pity but also it prevents us to be contented and be happy with our life. The negative feeling we tends to blind us of how blessed we really are. And as we feel more discontentment in our life, the more unhappy we become. So how can you turn our “if only” to something positive? The answer is to create “I want” list. Listing down what we want give us positive power of dreaming and faith. Look Forward to the Rainbow. Sufferings happens to all of us one time or another, for wounds and failures are part of life. Most of the time, sufferings are blessing in disguise for much better things to happen. Plus it opens us learning and wisdom we can never ever learn the other way. So whenever hardship occupy a spot of our life, be generous to yourself. Do not fight it back with anger, instead, take it as part of the process for your maturity, success and a much better life.
