I’ve been talking quite a bit about happiness regarding the different aspects of your life. This alone will help. Apply the ideas when and as often as you can and watch for change. But also remember that happiness is a system requirement.
Happiness weaves through all other system requirements.
As your happiness increases so will other inner techs be easier to use. In areas of discipline, you will find that if you are acting in accordance with what makes you happy, the task becomes a privilege, not a chore. As such, execution and follow-through become easier to do. It can even feel automatic at times. Clarity is intimately associated with your level of happiness. If you are clear about your life and your destination and are working towards that direction, that will increase your happiness. So, too, happiness will bolster your clarity when you start to doubt yourself. Aligning yourself with what really makes you happy can pull you through.
In the realm of manifestation, happiness is critically important. Current theory and experience in this area indicates that you manifest in the outside world to match your inner world. If you are working on manifesting something, finding happiness within yourself will make your goals easier to manifest, while also acting as a safety mechanism and blocking unwanted manifestations. By focusing on that which makes you happy, you reduce the ways in which self-sabotage is possible. Furthermore, doing so also helps deal with internal resistance in two ways: First, following your happiness can help to overpower that internal resistance directly. Secondly, when you have stepped out of the box following your happiness, you set a precedent that weakens the hold of that resistance. As you do this more and more, your resistance fades into the simple input that it is supposed to be and not the controlling directive that it is for many of us.
Have you ever noticed that happy people have a lot of life in them? Even people, who have chronic illnesses, seem to be more alive than unhappy people. A lot of people will become unhappy at health problems. The tragedy of this is that happy people tend to be healthier and so by letting the health problem rule their happiness, they cut themselves off from what may improve their health. I’m not saying that simply “getting happy” will cure all ills. What I am saying is that you are infinitely more likely to keep fighting and trying and improving what you have when you’re a happy person than you will if you aren’t happy. Guess who’s going to have better health when all is said and done?
“OK. I’m happy now. Is this it? Is it all over”?
Richard Bach is a great author. Not my all-time favorite, but his works have a special place in my heart. In his book “Illusions” he has a quote:
Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished.If you’re alive it isn’t.
Try to think of happiness as a state of being, not the end goal. If you work for happiness all your life, but never allow yourself to actually be happy, you’ve missed the point. Real happiness comes by living in alignment with who you are inside. As you learn to trust and follow your heart, your happiness will increase. Happiness isn’t a simple on/off switch, it’s a scale. The happier you are, the more you can do, and the more you can do the happier you can become. Heaven on earth is attainable in your life…..literally.
