Learning the secrets to being happy can change your entire view on life.  Most people you encounter through your day to day experience suffer from sadness and guilt and input whatever fear here.   The problem with this is that the more people you encounter that are in this mindset the more you start to drift into sadness yourself.   The main goal is to realize that you can maintain a happy state of mind no matter where you are or what is going on.  The feeling of happiness stems not from external forces but from within.

One of my favorite quotes is from Shakespeare that I feel really explains the power of our minds and happiness is;   “The mind is its own place, It can make a Heaven out of Hell or a Hell out of Heaven”    Sometimes the world does not always go the way we plan but, you can start being happy right where you are with the power of your mind.

3 Quick Steps to a Happier Life

1. Stop Thinking Negative Thoughts - Now this seems simple enough but before you know it your off in sad land beating yourself up for one thing or another.  For example if you have a negative thought within 17 seconds of having that thought another one will appear in your mind. Now you have two negative thoughts and so on and so on. Before you know it your having a terrible day and life doesn’t seem to be going your way. The Answer? Stop thinking of Negative thoughts!  When that bill comes up or that angry voice arises in your head about something negative Recognize it! Once you notice you’re having these negative thoughts you can control them and change your mood simply by stopping the thought. The Dali Lama said once that “Enlightenment is not What you Think about….Its What you Don’t think about.”

2. Focus on the Positive things – Now look, if your human and I’m sure you are if your reading this then not every day is going to be a bed rainbowof roses. Yes, It even rains at Disney World from time to time but that doesn’t mean you can’t go puddle hoping. There are always positives in our lives from the moment we wake up. Some people didn’t wake up this morning so you’re already ahead of the game. Focus on the positive things in your life and you will see beauty everywhere. This will also make you feel amazing in the process. Happy Feelings are a must when trying to be Happy.

3. Follow Through – What I mean by this is follow through with being happy. Its easy to quit as it takes no energy, you may be happy in your home then as soon as you get in the car your upset again because some jerk cut you off. Remember step 2 – be happy you have a car to drive in, feel compassion for the other driver because they must not be as happy as you are their out there cutting people off. Remember there is only one person responsible for your happiness. No one can make you feel a certain way unless you allow them too. No one can make you happy inside the only person who can do that is YOU.

I hope these tips help you on your journey to happiness.  Make sure to put the steps above in action today as you can start right now to start becoming happy.   when you start to become happy internally and stop relaying on outside influences something amazing happens your vies on life and yourself will change dramatically.  you will find new people coming into your life and share your happy view on life and people who are sad and drain energy will no longer be apart of your life.  Like attract Like in the Universal world and the more you feel happy and joyful towards life the more life will keep bringing things to you to keep you in this happy state.

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions Speak up.   :)

NIce work, James. The importance of mindset cannot be over-stressed. I heard similar priceless advice for years and never really listened. Everyone should if they expect to get anywhere near their dreams.
