What is REAL Happiness AND Where to Find it

 

What is REAL Happiness AND Where to Find it

by Jane Powel
 
“A sure fire way to obtain happiness is to bring happiness to someone else.”
Most of us don’t really give much thought to happiness. We just know whether we feel happy or not. If you’re not happy, you may go searching for it. You may think happiness will come with material things or relationships.
Often it doesn’t.
If you feel that people react negatively or offensively to things that you do and say, it may be that you share your troubles with others too often. After a while people begin to avoid you, and that makes unhappiness worse.
Lasting happiness comes from sharing your positive attitude with others. The more you share the more you will get it in return. Happiness also comes from serving others, like finding little ways to make others happy.
Remember that you have the power to attract anything in your life. Try happiness.

 
The world would like to change you;
There are pressures all around,
You must decide just who you are,
Then firmly hold your ground.

You have an image of yourself,
An ideal sense of you;
And to this vision you must always
Struggle to be true.

You know what you are good at,
And you know where talents lie;
But if you're ruled by others,
Your uniqueness could pass by.

Remember, there is much to learn,
All new things aren't good,
Wisdom lies in what you've learned
And what you have withstood.

So be yourself and don't allow
The world to take control,
Preserving your identity
Is life's most precious goal.

 

Do the disappointments make you feel disappointed?
There's no reason they must.
Do the frustrations and annoyances make you feel frustrated and annoyed? There's nothing that says they have to.
The fact is, you can feel precisely the way you choose to feel, whatever the situation may be. And you can use the power of your feelings to lead you into more positive, empowering territory.
When things are going great, you can choose to feel great. What's even better is that when things are not going so good, you can still choose to feel great.
Your feelings don't have to keep you imprisoned within the negative circumstances. Instead, choose positive, meaningful feelings that will free you from those difficult situations.
You can feel any way you wish, so choose to feel your way forward in the direction of your most treasured dreams. Right now, feel the way you most want to feel, and let those feelings set the direction for your life.
Ralph Marston
