The Importance of Being Happy

How do you bring about change in your life?

In school we learned about the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms. In summary:

*Minerals - pebbles and rocks are the least emotional and the least excitable. Pebbles are made up of dense and slow-moving energy. Consequently, a pebble has a fairly dull existence.

*Plants: they have a more interesting life than a pebble. A plant has a higher vibration. Science confirms that a cabbage is capable of feeling limited "emotion" - so your cabbages grow better when you talk to them.

*Animals: are more emotional than plants so they have a higher vibration again. A pig's life is more interesting. Pigs learn stuff, pigs have sex. A pig sees more action than a carrot.

The pattern is when you have a higher vibration; you can make more things happen. Of course, humans operate at a higher vibration than pebbles, parsnips or pigs, so their lives move faster.

Now stay with me because here is where all this makes sense...

Q: What kind of people stay stuck?

A: Emotionless people

WHY? You are a vibrational being in a vibrational universe. By your thoughts and your vibrations, you connect with everything around you. Through your feelings you attract opportunity. Emotion is the driving force behind your intentions.

Note the word: "E-Motion". People without emotions are like a car without gas - they have no motion! So people who never get excited stay stuck in a rut. When you have the enthusiasm of a piece of rock, you get a life experience to match. You've met those couldn't- care- less people- the walking dead. Their mantra is "Everything is too hard. Nothing good ever happens." And they are right. For them, nothing much ever happens- but they are the reason nothing happens.

So what kinds of people make the most progress in the least time? People who:

*Know what they want

*Believe they deserve it, and

*are joyful and enthusiastic

Who operate like this? CHILDREN

See how perfect it is! As a child you didn't have to learn any of this. You arrived as a powerful package, armed with the tools to create and attract. When we stay childlike, life moves quickly.

*2 years old know WHAT THEY WANT.

*2 years old BELIEVE they are beautiful and deserving.

*2 years old are full of joy and emotion.

It all makes sense. When you are bored and discouraged, and you don't even know what you want, you stagnate- because thought without emotion are powerless- USELESS! As you rediscover your enthusiasm and EMOTION, your life accelerates.

HAPPY PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY BECAUSE THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL. 

THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THEY ARE HAPPY.

Remember; you may recall happy times in your life when everything fell into place. You may know happy people who live charmed lives doing what they love, sailing from one wonderful opportunity to another.

 HAPPINESS - FEELING GOOD - IS YOUR MOST IMPORTANCE GOAL

You create your life according to how you feel. As you face good your entire being is in harmony with the world around you. As you face challenges, so you find solutions. You keep on finding yourself in the right place at the right time. It's not about your IQ. It's not about whether you are a sinner or a saint. it is about how you feel. 

These are the secret being happy:

1. Like Yourself

2. Be Flexible

3. Focus on what you want

4. Get relaxed with moeny

5. Be grateful

 People say, "When I get what I want, I'll be happy!" but they have it back to front.

WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY, YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT.

Breakthroughs

Breakthroughs is something that we don't look back if something was happened.Breakthroughs mostly happen in the most unlikely situation. It's life's way of reminding us to respect everyone we meet. It's also life's way of reminding us to keep an open mind. For instance, if you just lost your job, you don't look back. If you just left a relationship, you don't look back. You forget about blaming your boyfriend/ girlfriend. You forget about blaming yourself.

You hold in your mind what you want and WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
JUST KEEP MOVING, DON'T STOP YOUR WAY!
 
Think about something You Want and You Move Toward It. Think about something You Don't Want and You Move Toward it. And your subconscious mind doesn't understand "No". It doesn't understand " I don't want!".

This explains why confidence is so critical. When you are confident, you have only POSITIVE pictures in your mind. When you are confident, you don't play disaster movies, you play success movies so you regularly succeed. You are not perfect, but you always give yourself the best possible chance.

Positive thinking works because positive thinkers have the habit of picturing what they want, not what they fear! What you think is what you get. 

 

You don't achieve great things by looking at what you are.

You only achieve great things by looking at what you want to be and then playing those movies in your mind.

HAPPINESS - FEELING GOOD - IS YOUR MOST IMPORTANT GOAL

HAPPY PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY BECAUSE THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL. 
THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THEY ARE HAPPY!

You may recall happy times in your life when everything fell into place. You may know happy people who live charmed lives doing what they love, sailing from one wonderful opportunity to another. It is not luck.

Let's imagine;
You create your life according to how you feel. When you feel good your entire being is in harmony with the world around you. As you face challenges, so you find solutions. You keep on finding yourself in the right place at the right time. It's not about your IQ. It's not about whether you are a sinner or a saint. It is about how you feel.

Your mission is to feel as good as possible as often as possible. These habits help:
- Like Yourself
- Be Flexible
- Focus on What You Want
- Get Relaxed with Money
- Be Grateful

REMEMBER; 

WHEN YOU HAPPY, YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU WANT!

Your Daily Habit

Every morning, before you are assaulted by the morning news (that from newspaper, whatsapp, wechat or Internet news), close your eyes and imagine your day ahead. Visualize your day as perfect. See yourself happy, efficient, confident, loving, and healthy. See your day unfolding as you want. See yourself energetic and relaxed, laughing, enjoying your family and friends, comfortable with who you are, conquering challenges, always in the right place at the right time.

Make your own news!

Will your day be perfect? It will be much better that if you hadn't done it. And when you do the same exercise tomorrow and the next day and the next, your life will more and more closely reflect what you picture each morning. Make a list if what you want in your life and pin it on your wall. Review it before your morning visualization.

I know of no more powerful daily discipline than this. It is deceptively simple. The most useful disciplines always are. If there are five words that should be ingrained into the mind of every school child they are focus on what you want.

Sometime, we think that life can be hard. But Never quit! If you want something bad enough, no matter what the odds, you can do it. And I believe you can be a proud and happy man in one day. And that day is just "On the way" to your path; the path to success and victory.

So Is Life A Series of Painful Disasters?

Not necessarily. The universe is always nudging us with gentle signals. When we ignore the signals, it nudges us with a sledgehammer. Growth is most painful when resist it.

We can react to life in one of three ways. We either say:

"My life is a series of experiences I need, happening in perfect order." 

(The healthiest approach-guarantees maximum peace of mind)

or

"Life is a lottery, but I make the most of whatever comes along".

(The next best option- offers average quality of life)

or

 

·         "Why do bad things always happen to me"?

(Guarantees maximum misery and frustration)

      Life goes like this. We get hit by little pebbles- as a kind of warming. When we ignore the pebbles, we get hit by a brick. Ignore the brick and we get wiped out by a boulder. If we're honest, we can see where we have ignored the warning signs. And then we have the nerve to say, "Why me?"

      Life doesn't always have to be painful- but pain is still the main reason we change. Until we are in pain, we can pretend. Our ego says, "I'm fine."

      It's always easier to be philosophical about other people's pain! We look at Jim and say, "Going broke was a huge learning experience for him." We look at Mary and say, "That divorce helped her to stand on her own feet." We all agree, "Challenges make you stronger."

      But when our own challenges come along, we're not so enthusiastic. We say, "Lord, why this? Give me a convenient challenge!" Unfortunately, real challenges aren't convenient.

      Challenges also come in waves. We know about waves- sound waves, light waves, brain waves, microwaves. In non- scientific terms waves demonstrate that things have a tendency to travel in bunches.

      This means that problems happen in groups; family crises, wedding invitations and car repairs also tend to travel in bunches. Bearing this in mind is helpful. When you strike a month without bills, you say to yourself, I'll put something aside for the next wave." When you get swamped by the next wave, you say to yourself, "I know about these waves- this is only temporary."

In reality, we have nothing. What we have is only the thing that given by our parents. They given us new life, and what make our new life more worthwhile? 

The answer is LOVE, life is a journey and love is what makes the journey worthwhile.

"It happened. Life goes on".

"If through sadness you can fix the future, then do it! 
But being sad doesn't fix the future."
Sunrise is still wake up every early morning!

Someone told me that, I wake up every day choosing to be happy. What can possible hurt me now? What can worry me now? 

 Life is like a movie. It's not the length but the quality that matters. 

There is no secret to Happiness. You just choose it.

I Can't Take It Anymore! So, Just Let Tomorrow Take Care Of Itself.

Sometime life is hard. How do you hang on when things seem hopeless? You can only tackle your problems as you would climb a mountain.

      If you go rock climbing and you get stuck on a ledge, you suddenly focus on the present moment! When your life is in danger, you forget about the future. All your effort goes into your next step. Then your next step. Inch by inch. Eventually you claw your way out.

       The same strategy works for everyday life. It is the only strategy when life gets tough. You say, "How can I stay positive when I can't even pay the rent? How do I keep going when I'm grieving, lonely or seriously ill?"

      When the worst happens, you can't worry about the rest of your life. You can't even be worrying about the rest of the month. But you can usually handle one day at a time. And whenever 24 hours is too tough, bite off five minutes at a time. Tackle one problem at a time. Take a step. You get a little confidence...take another step, and another. Eventually you find that the worst is over.

If you were to worry about:

a). everything you need to do in the next month, or

b). everything that could go wrong in the next year, you could go nuts! Focus on the moment.

If you were embarking on a day's march, wouldn't it be foolish to try to carry enough food and water for a lifetime? Is it not strange, then, that many people carry around all their worriers for the next 25 years and wonder why life is so difficult? We were designed to live 24 hours at a time. No more.

Next time you find yourself despairing, ask yourself:

* Have I got enough air to breathe?

* Have I got enough food for today?

* Will I be okay for the next five minutes?

Once you have made it through those five minutes, just aim at getting through the next five. Bite off one small chunk at a time. It saves a lot of indigestion.

All you can do is give your best effort until bedtime.

Let tomorrow take care of itself.

For me, if tough time meets up with me, what I usually do is;

Fit my stomach first. Nothing else. It's extremely effective.
