You deserve to live your life the way you want it. We all want to be happy, but we are not. Why? What is going on? Why are most of us still searching for happiness? Why are we trying to force happiness into our lives? Why?

If you are not finding happiness in your life, don’t look too far, look within you. Why is that? Because you have the power to create whatever you want in your life, including happiness. Why are you not doing it? You can make yourself happy. And you can also make yourself miserable. As one wise man said, “If you want to be happy, be.” If you want to make yourself happy, make it. Do it!

You deserve happiness and ease- no more and no less than anyone else.”- Mark Bertin

To live happily, you must be yourself. You cannot live happily without a deep knowledge of self. It is very important to know yourself. Because if you don’t know who you are, you cannot make yourself happy.

To live happily, you must focus on what can really make you happy. Choose one thing that, if you work on it, would make a big difference in your life. It is better to waste your time doing something that can change your life. Don’t waste your time. It is irrevocable.

To live happily, you must embrace each challenge that comes your way. You cannot live happily without problems. When you encounter a problem, don’t worry yourself about the problem. Find a way to solve it. Embrace it as an opportunity to move your life forward. Remember, “You cannot grow without solving problems.” If you are ready to solve problems, then you are ready to grow.

To live happily, you must allow yourself to experience life. Stop trying to resist life. Allow yourself to just be in the moment. Do not try to control what you cannot control. Just live! In Meditation of the Week, Elisha Goldstein writes, “Whatever is being experienced, just allow it and let it be.” Just let your life be.

Believe In Yourself!

The beginning of things is always scary. But do not let that stop you from doing your things. It not going to be easy, not when you are a beginner. Just believe in yourself. Believe in your abilities to get things done. Don’t fear. When you see fear, do not quit. It is part of the game of life. Fear is everywhere, but if you work really hard, you can defeat fear.

“Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.”- Norman Vincent Peale

You are not alone. People are going through the same thing that you are going through right now. If you doubt yourself, continue. Reach out for help. Don’t experience everything alone. Because there are people out there who are ready and willing to help you. If you don’t reach out, they can’t find you. It is your job to talk to other people who have gone through the same process. They will help you. Remember, as the saying goes, “If you don’t ask, you don’t get.”
