The Grand Essentials Of Happiness

Ways Of Obtaining Real Inner Joy

Although materialism brings the immediate happiness, the real happiness should only be felt by being in love and be loved. Does spirituality bring you real happiness? When someone is enlightened spiritually that means that h/she is spiritually awakened as a result of persistence happiness. This type of happiness is aka JOY which is a steady state of happiness that one feels despite of any unfortunate events occurs in real life.

The whole purpose of us being in this world is to be happy but why aren’t we all happy? Is happiness hard to get or are you following a wrong path to gain happiness? Can we be happy with what we already possess? If we do then we wouldn’t fight for things that we desire. We compete for food, education, money, fame, love, and relationships. If we are fighting for something to gain happiness, so then we do really know what makes us happy. Right? But after achieving what you wanted, your joy of success doesn’t stay for long. You start to look for something else that can make you happy.

Some men say if I get this girl that I love I will be the happiest person in the whole world. Is it really true? Certainly not. There are other problems come along after getting what to crave for. You may start to fight with the person you love or start cursing the things that you have gained when it brings you some sort of pain. So the conclusion is that nothing can makes you in this world unless you decided draw the joy within.

Most of us will question that so how the happy person looks like in real world, so they can compare themselves. Well, happy person is an optimist, devote his time to help others in need, spend happy time with family and friends, appreciate small things that he gains, live the present moment with full of joy, feel abundant in many ways (love, money, and relationships), healthy and strong, cope well with challenge, and follow his dreams consistently with no doubts.

Why do we need to be happy? Because happy people have secure and happy relationships with no conflicts, enjoy their life ten times greater than the unhappy person, more productive in their career, more abundant in all aspects including money, physically active and good in health, and live longer lives.

Here are few steps that you can apply in your daily lives in order for you to feel happy and fulfilled.

• Be kind and patient with yourself.
• Know your own potential and be confident
• Be positive and don’t let you mind wander towards negativity. Affirmation: I’m going to be happy all day starting from today, no matter what kind of challenges that I encounter.
• Express gratitude every day in small things that you do or possess. Start writing your thoughts and actions on a journal. Write things that you are a grateful for (I have a wonderful person in life or book etc.)
• Try to smile all day even if you are not happy. When you smile, ‘happy’ part of the brain will be stimulated and you can change your mood so quickly.
• Finally, stop comparing yourself or your situations with others. You are only looking at few great characteristics that he possesses. Believe me; you don’t want to be exactly like him. You and I know that you possess things that he doesn’t have, and there are people who want to be like you.
