The Keys To Letting Happiness Flow

* Loosen your grip.
     Watch how people become attracted to your energy rather than being scared of it.

* Pray for guidance.
     Where could we best get the inner light we love to illumine the world if not from the Heavenly Father who so guides us that much.

* Believe that everything happens for a reason.
     Some things happen without our intention of doing it, or sometimes against what we expect. The reason is not that God is against us. It is for us to ask for the reason behind such events or circumstances and what can we get from it; what gift it brings for us.

* Overcome evil with good.
     It might be easier said than done, but when you do this, things would run smoothly. On the contrary if we overcome evil with evil peace would be elusive.

*Let go of people.
     There are people living in your mind and in your heart. Let go of them. Be anybody else den but with no strings attached.

Happiness Is....


If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than we are.

Montesquieu, Baron de
 (1689-1755)

Overwhelmed

     Overwhelmed. Yes, I am. I've been thinking many things and trying to open my thoughts to big ideas. I want to grow big in all aspects. And I am overwhelmed. But I do not want this to stop me from feeling happy and being happy. My muscles and veins may be overworked but not my spirit. I just have to relax for quite awhile to stabilize my spirit back.
     Be happy!

Unleash The Happy Being In You

     Sometime ago a friend of mine read my journal without my permission. When I caught him doing that he smiled at me wryly and said, "corny." Hey, is wanting to grow in spirituality and happiness corny things? Perhaps to some whose lives are not directed the same way I direct my life. It took me sometime to weigh his word. Am I on the right path? Or am I just too OA with my life and myself? Well, the answer I heard from deep within is, I am just trying to inch my way where I could be much happier.
     We may not like it but there are some people who would try to pull us down. The road to happiness is yes, difficult. But it's in overcoming these hurdles in life that we become victorious. No matter what, we just have to be happy despite...despite the negativities around. Sometimes what makes us unhappy, is the realization that we are still unhappy though we know we have the capability to be happy. We are happy beings because we come from a happy God. And this is what we must do and be...
     Be happy!

Living The Life I Love To Live

     Jaime Tardy has this advice, "a lot of us think we have to have jobs we dislike because we need the money, but that puts money in control instead of you. Figure out the life you love to live, then make your million." So true. So very, very true.
     When I was younger, I was told to choose a college course where I could earn more income. Nobody told me to study the field I love the most, or where I am more skilled. In the first university where I enrolled, I was advised to take A.B. English because it was where I scored highest in the scholarship examination. I got the scholarship and took the course. But only for a year. The following year I shifted to another course; not because I love it, but because almost everybody advised me to shift course. They said with A.B. English I would end up being a teacher. Nobody gets rich being a teacher. Innocent as I was, I followed the advice of the grown-ups. (Sometimes grown-ups have not really grown). After I graduated I was able to find many jobs. Many, because I kept on jumping one job from the other. Honestly, I have not really found a job where I am the happiest sans the salary. I have stayed on one job for years not because it was better, but because I have to provide for my family. And I am not so happy. Until I was awakened from my deepest slumber. I thought I was stuck. But no, there is still hope. And I am now on my way.
     If others have found their happiness, doing the things they love while earning for a living, I could be too.
     Be happy!

In Quest for Happiness

     I do not know why, but perhaps the way to happiness, or freedom, or liberation is not paved with red carpet. It never is that easy. I have loads of information on how to be happy; yet it's only information and nothing more. Any information coming from other people are only theirs. They may share it but the experiences are theirs and theirs alone. I could have many information but I could never have the experience. To experience happiness, or freedom, or liberation may take a lifetime. I am wiling to take that lifetime of learning these things, because when it would be my time to go, I would have left a life worth lived.   
     Be happy!
