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.

Slowing Down

Slow down! You need your life. Slow down for yourself, for your health, and for the people around you. Make time to slow down. Don’t do too much. Doing too much doesn’t mean having too much. You can get a lot down when you slow down to think, to rest, to relax, to meditate, to love, to connect, to think for yourself, to innovate, to drink a cup of coffee, and to live your real life.

Please don’t run past your life. Don’t run past your health. Take care of your life. It is important. We need you. The world needs you. Choose time to relax yourself. Make time to be in the moment. Because running is not the way to get things done, slowing down is.

You are running because you think other people are getting things done. Wrong. When you slow down to be who you really are, then you can get a lot done. Don’t let people pressure you into what you cannot do. Don’t please people to harm yourself. It doesn’t worth it.

It is not how busy you are that counts. It is how productive you are that really matters. If you want to be productive, you must slow down to live your life.
