How to be Happy – Go Against the Trend

Letting yourself fall into depression is very easy. In this day and age it is not our fault we are surrounded by so much negative influence. We have a choice though to either fall into  everyone’s beliefs or choose our own. It takes work to stand aside from the trend.

We go to work and there is complaining and regret because people are not happy with where they are at in life. We are around family members and they are feeling the same way. We gather with our friends and the same prevails. This is the norm these days. We almost have to stay in a bubble to avoid this attitude or mindset. We drive on the highways and bi-ways there is the same mindset through their anger displayed by road rage. Unhappy people taking their rage out on the traffic. Where do we escape.

You do not have to run away from all of this thinking. You can be a glimmer of hope and or an example for others to be inspired by. We always have a choice to change the mindset to that of a positive one. It isn’t easy going against the grain. IF you decide to go against what everyone is thinking you will see an instant change in your surroundings. You will be aware of everything around you and be free of the stress of everyday life. If you learn to accept yourself for who you are and love that person in mirror you will feel better.

Guilt will leave your body. You will be able to forgive yourself and others. You will be able to love yourself and others. It always starts with you. You are the catalyst for the change in your life and the life of others in some cases. Whether you know it or not people are watching you always. Watching your every move because they look up to you. Decide to live happy. It will be the best decision you will ever make.

How to be Happy – Be Love

We come into this world full of love and looking for nurturing. We receive the environment that we are born into. During our infantile years we learn to accept our surroundings as the norm. The more we mature towards the adolescent stage we become our environment. Some are special enough to distinguish the two experiences and classify as bad or good on their own based on their soul. The majority are taught to accept the current state as normal. 

Children are more resilient than adults. Children are fearless. Children will accept a task and sprint towards achieving success. They will fall brush off and continue on. They will accept that they have to strap a bomb to their chest and are convinced it is the right thing to do for their innocent senses have accepted the environment as being. They see nothing wrong with what they are taught for they know nothing else. 

I am sure there are other situations where a child is brave and they will do anything to protect loved ones. Anything means giving their own life and they truly believe it is honorable and they are protecting because of it. 

We are love from the beginning. I have an extreme example of how innocence can be manipulated and in the eyes of the innocent there is no wrong. They make a decision and act based on the current state. They do not negotiate or reason. They adhere to the command not out of fear but out of loyalty and love. 

We do not protect our children enough. Instead of thinking positive and encouraging at a maximum level we teach them how to be insecure, fearful. We teach our children the bad habits that we learned that aided to our current state of suffering. 

We should be teaching our children Love. After they learn UNCONDITIONAL Love then everything else falls into place because there will be an absence of fear. 

Teach Love and practice it everyday. Truly believe that Love heals. 

How to be Happy – Have Faith 

Our lives are so delicate. Yet we are so powerful. We have the capacity to achieve anything we think. Faith is the key. 

We blame others when we fail in achieving what we want. We want the approval and the validation from external instead of being happy with our little improvements towards our goals. We are so judgmental when it comes to our lives. The criticisms of others are baseless yet we take them to heart as if the person criticizing was a judge and jury. 

Story. A girls color guard team had been preparing for competition upcoming. They were excited and felt they were really doing well. Confidence in their routine was high. Their coach got them together to speak to them the final week leading up. In the meeting he told the team that it will be a long trip for the competition, don’t get your hopes up because there is. I way we will place anyway. We are going for fun. But in all reality the competition is a lost cause. 

What??!!! Is this what we tell our children these days? I hope that is not what is being told to are young men in battle, ” oh by the way we are going against the enemy but we are all going to die or be caught. There is no way we will survive they are superior. Nice knowing you thank you very much goodbye! 

We can achieve anything we think. Faith

The girls lost and in last place because they were very down and sad that the coach did not have confidence in them and felt that they wasted their time. 

We are failures in our own mind. We are successful when we change our negative mindset to that of a positive one, not just changing the thoughts but the HABIT of feeling, hoping, and expecting the worse in the outcome.
