How to Find True Happiness in Life
Come on, get happy! Learn how to find true happiness.
Change is something that so many people resist – I’ve been there myself and you may be there now – but isn’t ‘resisting’ really just the same as doing nothing at all?
So often do people find themselves in undesirable circumstances but instead of actively seeking a solution, many people sadly do nothing and hope that the situation will improve itself.
The moment of clarity
When you read that statement, something hopefully clicked – that moment of clarity, if only a fleeting realisationl, that it really does make no sense to expect results from nothingness.
Only by realising that we are the true influence of our own happiness can we begin to alter our approach to situations and ultimately improve our well-being. Only then can we muster up the courage to take initiative and seize the results we want instead of waiting for them to come along.
This is one of my favourite quotes, it’s powerful and provocative –
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them” – Albert Einstein
And how true is that. Negative thinking – the “half-empty” approach – will almost always yield negative results. If you believe “I’m not good enough”, or “What’s the point?”, then the goals and aspirations you have can slip through your fingers.
But by altering your perspective and trying to see the positive, you can begin to accommodate the good that is trying to make its way into your life. This is a step towards happiness.
Why can’t you be good enough? What’s stopping you?
This is a very short exercise. Try it now!
Ask yourself this question and really dwell on the answer:
- What are my biggest challenges to achieving happiness, and how can I overcome them?
