How To Find The Happiness You Seek
Having said that, let me define happiness. Happiness is no unhappiness, period!. To get to that place where there is no unhappiness you already realize you need to change what you are doing and that's a great start. A known proverb states, "If there is something you want and you don't already have it, then you really don't want it." So what's obviously missing in your life is the correct way to get the happiness you want. Let's see if I can provide the way. My advice will also cover answer these questions: Is the meaning of happiness the same for everyone? Is there a trait common to happy people that made them happy? Can anyone become happy, or happier? Based on my experience I found that the happiest people are those whose minds are fixed on reaching a worthwhile goal rather than fixed on finding happiness. So, since finding happiness isn't a realistic goal here's a question, "If you had your druthers to do anything with your life what would you do or want to be?" Whatever your answer, it is the answer to your question. Whatever it is you would like to do or be should be your life's goal because the goal is exactly where you will find your happiness. Without you dedicating yourself to achieving that objective there is no cause for you to accomplish anything fulfilling. Can you see my point? My point is: that it is unlikely you will become truly happy unless you first know exactly what it is you want to be. Happy people are as happy as they make up their minds to be and their mindset is to always use one of nature’s simplest laws to their advantage. I have no fear of contradiction that when you understand and apply this law properly, it has and always will bring you whatever you want out of life. The law is simply that everything in our entire infinite universe operates on the simple law of cause and effect. Nothing happens by accident. What you sow you reap. If you want heat in the stove you first have to chop wood. You will find no exceptions to this. For every result there is a cause. Provide good causes, and you will produce good effects. It is as reliable as the rising of the sun. Although The Bill Of Rights guarantees ". . . life liberty and the pursuit of happiness," I disagree with that statement because pursuing happiness is futile. You can't become happy by seeking happiness or wishing for it. Nor can happiness ever be given to you or anyone else since it is intrinsic – it comes from inside one's soul I believe happiness comes to a person when they are passionately pursuing their worthwhile dream and doing what they love to do, During that time, they are not unhappy; therefore they are happy. They are content. Boredom doesn't exist. Hours fly by often causing them to skip meals and sleep in order to stay with the task at hand. If that isn't happiness I don't know what is. It's up to you and only you to begin now to change your destiny by providing the causes to produce the effects you want. Striving towards goals requires dedication of your entire being and personal sacrifice but, the only time "happiness" comes before "work" is in the dictionary. So in the days ahead, confirm what it really is you want to do with your life then do it. Continually work towards your goal step by step, act by act, day by day, week by week, and year by year. Do that and I guarantee one day you know I was right. Keep at it and don't quit, At the beginning of everyone of your days look in the mirror and say this out loud, "If it is to be it's up to me." Do that and your happiness is assured.
