HappinessHappiness doesn't just happen. You have to make it happen. If you're waiting around for it to come to you, expecting someone to bring it with them or waiting for something to happen before you can be happy you'll be waiting for a long while.Nobody will ever bring you complete happiness, think about what will happen if they leave you or are taken from this earth, where will your happiness be then. If you're waiting for something to happen such as that promotion you've always wanted or when...
It has been said that everyone has something to give. Something that can be shared with their fellow human beings over and over again. Something whose supply is never depleated, but constantly replenished as it is given away.And it costs nothing to give.What could that be? Remember that you must phrase your answer in the form of a question.I hope you all got it. It's as simple as falling off a log.It is a SMILE.Did you know there are fewer facial muscles used with less energy expended...
The way we perceive our problems, and the importance we give to them, determines how we will deal with them. Why? Because the world is a reflection of our mind. To quote Napoleon Hill, "Life reflects your own thoughts back to you."We can see a world full of problems, or we can see a world filled with challenges with the realization we have the capacity to overcome them. We can let our problems depress us, or we can accept life's challenges and deal with them as they occur. A good quote...
Once I became interested in achieving the things in life that I really wanted, the first obstacle I ran up against was myself. To begin with, I was a "worry-wart." And, it's impossible to focus on what you want when you're focused on what you don't want. That's what it means to worry - to focus on the opposite of what you want.In Bobby McFerrin's song Don't Worry, Be Happy, he hits the nail on the head. Since happiness is the ultimate bottom line behind all goals, why not cut to the chase...
A reader recently wrote and asked me this question: "How can a person have high self esteem when living with the negative energy of a partner? How can one keep oneself strong or respond differently?" My response documents 3 key steps to take that we can all use to help improve any dysfunctional interactions.
Firstly I would say that if there is any abusive or violent nature to your situation then you must seek professional help - either as a couple or at least just for you alone. You...
With every emotional and/or physical painful experience in life, you have the opportunity to write and store knowledge about pain. You add new volumes every year. Moments of unhappiness, confusion, failure, depression, and the act of making the same mistakes over and over, all present the opportunity for you to write and store productive knowledge about pain. The problem is that most people, who continuously struggle in relationships and life, create volumes of false and misleading information...
I'm sure many times you have asked the question: "What is happiness really?" Before I attempt to elaborate on this issue further I will say this: I have a strong, intuitive feeling that when push comes to shove, joy and happiness are the purposes of our lives. If my feeling is correct, then nothing in our life is more important than to endeavour what we can to make our lives as joyful and happy as possible.Now, back to the question of what happiness is. Some people, maybe the majority...
As you move through your day today do not lose sight of the fact that you have greatness in you. That's right, you have unique talents and gifts that all come together to make you the special person you are.Whether or not up to this point in your life anyone has ever taken the time to make you realize that, I want you to know without a shadow of a doubt that it is true.Believe me, I know that things can happen in ones life that can leave us feeling as though the good things in life are...
We all have them. It has many faces.
We carry them around us, We store them in the
remotest part of our brain, in the deepest chambers
of our hearts.We have them in our extensive database
of memories. Some are so close to the heart, it brings
out tears at the slightest provocation. Others may
feel anger, very deep resentments and may exhibit
anti-social or antagonistic behaviours .Shadows follow and haunt many, in their dreams
or waking hours, in unlikely places, unexpected
and intimidating...
If you have a very low self esteem or a lack of self-confidence you may be seeking help to gain extra confidence.I was somebody who had a severe confidence crisis from the ages of four until the age of around twenty two.At the age of twenty two I started on a mission of self improvement and to try to make myself increase happiness levels in my own life.I started reading various books and articles on increasing confidence and gaining self esteem.In one of the books, it had a chapter on what...
