It can be hard to live with joy sometimes. When things seem to be going against what we want, we usually feel pain, suffering, or like we're having a bad day. The first step toward a happy and positive life is realising that we have control over our feelings and can choose to live in joy or fear.
One thing we all need to learn is how to look at all things, people, and situations in a positive way. Instead of seeing bad things as reasons to get upset and angry, try to see them as lessons that are helping you grow and become as complete a person as possible. Too often, we think that the outside world, the physical world, is what makes our day and makes us sad or unhappy, but the truth is the opposite. We make our day, and we make the things that make life happy.
The most important thing to learn is that "being" comes before "experience." To be happy, we must first "be happy" inside. This happiness spreads through every cell of our bodies and shows up as a smile, a laugh, or a deep connection between two people. In this "beingness," we can see and choose our feelings, desires, goals, and dreams, which lets us create an outer reality that reflects who we really are.
We make the world where we feel happiness, anger, love, and fear. We have the power, or free will, to choose our own reality, so we can choose to try to be happier, more grateful, and more sensitive. But you'll never find this happiness if you look outside of yourself first. Because we just learned that if we want to be happy, we have to feel happy inside before we can make that happiness happen in our daily lives. Remember that what you think about reality shapes how you feel about it.
So, start turning your negatives into positives, get clear, and open your heart by looking inside yourself. When we start to change from the inside out, the universe will respond in ways we could never have imagined. You already have the power to start making your goals and dreams come true. Take the chance to start living a happy life right now.
