Good morning everybody! It is time to get out of bed and enjoy the day, time to make sure that we make it another good day! May be a day were you can understand that happiness is a state of mind. Happiness is one common goal that everyone hopes to achieve during his or her lifetime. This is a tricky situation because happiness isn’t just one state of being, it’s a mentality. It’s the ability to take what life has given you and to personalise it in a way that benefits you. If you work at happiness, maybe, just maybe, you will find something that satisfies you temporarily. But you need to understand that happiness is simply a by product of living a loving, meaningful life. There is no guide, no rules, no manual that will teach you how to live a happy life. There is advice, however, that can teach you how to approach certain situations to gain the best result. True happiness comes from surrounding yourself with people whom you love and love you in return. If the people you surround yourself with are bringing you down, then it’s time to trim the fat. I guarantee once you eliminate the negative people in your life, you will be that much happier. Why would you choose to spend time with people that are holding you back when you can surround yourself with people that can elevate you? One of the biggest challenges in life is learning to accept people for who they truly are. Once you realise that your expectations cannot change people, the better off you will be. The problem will arise when the expectations do not materialise. If you find that you are going out of your way much more than the people you surround yourself with, it may be time to make some adjustments. Look around at your immediate surroundings. If there is something that is not bringing value and meaning to your life, then get rid of it. Do not feel obligated to hold on to something that is only making you miserable. You owe it to yourself to lead the best possible life you can. You, and only you, are in control of your happiness and when you choose to expand your mind and to focus on the good, you will be happier. It is different for everyone, but once you stop looking for excuses as to why you cannot be happy, you will find so many reasons as to why you can. People make these justifications to prevent themselves from achieving greatness. This is a horrible mistake to make in life because all you are doing is sabotaging yourself. Everything you experience throughout the course of your life is unique to you, since your perception is what is shaping your reality. Expectation is what lies at the root of all heartache. Why? Because you falsely assumed someone’s behaviour would match your expectations. What happens when you realise the complete and utter error of your ways? You grow increasingly upset because you cannot wrap your mind around why someone would behave in this manner. That’s because you could never do something like that, so it’s difficult to understand the reasoning behind someone else’s actions. You can do things that will make you happy. If circumstances will upset you, then you need to avoid them and actively realise what brings you joy and what brings you sadness. This is a way to ensure a happy existence. There is virtually no simpler way to recognise this. Something either brings you pain or pleasure and the things that bring you pleasure are what you should dedicate your time to. The journey is where you will achieve the happiness you think you are searching for, not the destination. Once you achieve this goal, then what? You have it and it’s over. Relish in this accomplishment, but it will mostly likely be short lived. Good things come to those who go out and earn it. Happiness is not something that will be delivered to your doorstep. Embrace the journey and the lessons you will learn from it. Remember, focusing on the present moment is crucial, if you spend your time living in the past or worrying about the future, you are only going to stress yourself out. Actively engage yourself in what you are currently doing and immerse yourself fully. Appreciate the fact that you are able to do whatever it is you are doing and realise how fortunate you are in shaping your own life. youtu.be/PV90Ef7yqYk
