The Keys To Happiness

“… if a man is happy, it is because he dwells in happy thoughts; if miserable, because he dwells in despondent and debilitating thoughts.”– James Allen

Happiness is a mind business. A mind filled with doubts cannot find happiness. A mind filled with negative thoughts cannot attract positive thoughts into it. They cannot coexist.

If you want to be happy, just choose happiness. No one can make you happy, but yourself. Here is how:

Accept yourself. You cannot find happiness if you don’t accept who you are. You cannot separate your self-esteem and your happiness. They are inseparable. Robert Holden writes, “Your level of self-acceptance determines your level of happiness.” If you don’t like yourself, you won’t be happy with yourself.

Welcome happiness into your life. Happy people attract happiness into their lives. If you want to be happy, you must welcome happiness into your own life. Og Mandino said, “I will welcome happiness because it enlarges my heart.” Happiness is your choice to make. Make it today!

Take responsibility for your own happiness. If you want to be happy, do it yourself. It is your choice. As the saying goes, “Life is a do it yourself project.” Do wait for your spouse to make you happy. Make yourself happy, and your happiness will attract other happy people to you. Just do it yourself!

Accept things the way they are. Change what you can change, and let go of what you cannot change. You cannot change nature. Can you? Don’t even try to do it! Instead of trying to change things, why not explore their beauty?

Live your life with an open heart. If you want to attract happiness into your life, do not keep negative thoughts in your mind. Because a negative mind cannot attract happiness. Only a positive mind has the power to attract positive things. An open mind is a creative mind, a happy mind, a productive mind. It is up to you.

“Happiness is a natural condition of being a person.”- Wayne Dyer

Relax Your Mind

“Man cannot be separated from his mind; his life cannot be separated from his thoughts. Mind, thought, and life are as inseparable as light, radiance, and colour.”– James Allen

“Mind, thought, and life are inseparable…” If you want to take care of your life, your work, your health, your relationships, you MUST first take care of your mind.

As I wrote before, “A healthy mind is a healthy body.” You cannot have a healthy life if your mind is not healthy. That is not possible. Only a healthy mind can produce a healthy body. Only a relaxed mind can produce a healthy life. If your mind is not relaxed, you can’t focus in the moment. Only a relaxed mind can focus in the moment.

If your mind is not relaxed, you cannot stay in the moment. You cannot focus on what matters to you. You cannot do what you are asked to do, because your mind is not with you. You are busy thinking about irrelevant things. A busy mind is like a butter fly. It never stops flying.

When your mind is relaxed, you are more creative. You are more aware of your environment. You are more connected to your inner self than when your mind is all over the world.

Free your mind. Declutter your mind. If you want to relax your mind, appreciate every moment of your life. Find time to create those moments when you are not thinking about anything, and just enjoy whatever it is you are doing.

To really relax your mind, you must learn to let go of irrelevant thoughts. Let them come, and let them go. Don’t worry about anything. Just enjoy the moment! Forget about what you are going through, and just concentrate on what is in front of you. Because every moment is special. Every moment is important. If you miss it, you will never get it back.

You are the master of your mind. If you can’t control your mind, who will? No one. And if you cannot control your mind, you can’t control anything. Because your mind is your life. Without a great mind, without a healthy mind, without a relaxed mind, there is no life.

“If you can control your mind, you can control everything.” Are you ready to MASTER your mind?
