how to be happy

Life Will Go On

I do not even know where to begin with this entry. we are all in the same place in life right now. the world has stopped and we are scared.

some of us can find a silver lining in all of this madness. some of us are terrified to wake up to a cough or a fever. there is anxiety to come in contact with people…. the same people you look forward to see every day now cause a trigger of fear that they may be carrying death.

this is a sample of what i have been told by people close to me and strangers. it is a re-occurring theme. how are we suppose to see a positive in this life that is before us?

the bottom line we do not have control over what is happening around our environment and the leaders that control the laws and rules of what we live by. all we can do is control the quality of life we create for ourselves. we can allow a thought to overcome our conscious or develop a beautiful outlook of gratitude for what is in our life.

if you are reading this far you might understand what i am talking about. we are what we focus on. we are the creation of our fears or our faith. i truly believe that. i have gone back to the movie in my mind replaying my life and dissecting every positive and negative experience i have had. i know what thoughts and beliefs caused everything. i know for sure i am the cause of my experience in this life.

right now the world has stopped for most of us. we have time for reflection and awareness. what will we find out about ourselves? i wonder. every day i wake up to a quiet outside. i hear no cars, trains, planes and voices. even the dogs are quiet. the birds are louder, the breeze is clear. i can hear the neighbor fart next door. my perception of life right now is that everything needed to slow down.

the world was distracted and we took advantage and for granted everything in life. it was taken away in a matter of weeks. life stopped, loved ones died, work was taken away, our freedoms are limited to protect one another. our circle has been reduced to where we lay down our head to sleep.

wake up. this is our opportunity to wake up. live, laugh and love. take this time to see the world with eyes of gratitude. change your future. change your perception of your world. listen to your intuition and heart. there are less distractions. quit your bitching and moaning. life is different now. this is an opportunity for most of us to re-start and re-set.

life will go on.

do not be too upset about it…..

do not be too upset about it

 

Some of the reasons we are always chasing our tail is because we always put lofty expectations on other people. We let ourselves be disappointed by the actions of others. We cannot control their actions! Quit putting your hopes in their hands. 

Give yourself the respect and decide for yourself that you are in control of your feelings towards anything and everything. Yes, life can be screwed up sometimes when you are experiencing the pain. The bigger picture is so much more amazing. We always become stronger in the aftermath. Life will march on with or without you. 

The clock spins fast. It cannot be stopped. We are very fragile. Our mortality hangs on a small balancing act. We must know this. If that does not compel you to choose to make a decision to take control and be happy then you should just jump off a bridge and end it! Ok. NO! That is not the answer. 

Sadly, many people take that option. Ending their lives because things are too hard for them. Blaming themselves. People that commit suicide or contemplate it do not see or hear anyone. They are silenced by their own voices screaming at them inside their head. All they want to do is rest. They want to quiet the voices torturing them. 

These voices are lies. Eventually the perception that they are helpless, and no one can help them becomes a reality and, in their minds “courageously” go to sleep. Was it the right thing to do? That is up for debate. 

I choose life. I choose facing my trials head on and looking for happiness always. I’ll re-create my reality over and over again until death chooses me, then I at least left looking for the best and fighting for peace of mind, teaching others to do the same in the process. I want to leave a legacy. 

Did I answer the question of anything in this post? I do not care. I want to send a message of my opinion of another example of how we can choose happiness over the alternative, not being happy. 

Rambling as usual! 

I love all of you. Please do not hesitate to follow my social media links for more content, it is all over the place. I am so random I need to get organized. Please SHARE my content so that others can see it and maybe find something that can help them.  

The Human Experience

The human experience. We are born. We grow and mature and eventually spread our wings. We are then responsible for ourselves. At least some of us are able to care for ourselves with the exception of individuals with special circumstances. We are responsible for our lives and decisions. We take accountability for our lives. We shelter and care for our loved ones.

What I just wrote about is a perfect world. The sad truth is people have become toxic. Yes there is a substantial Percentage of positivism in our world, but if you look at our media coverage of the world the negative is glorified and sensationalized. We fight to navigate through a growing disrespect towards humanity. The facts are present and on stage.

The good news is that there is a wave of awareness that we have the power as a human species to change this thought collectively. Science and spirituality is partnering to raise this awareness. We are in a fragile state in our collective human experience. We have to reach out and create beautiful positive content through the arts, research and discover who we really are.

The goal is always to spread love, kindness and positivity. We NEED Remove the hypocrisy in our lives so that our children see our legacy and their hope is a beautiful future with our hard work creating their core to build on. Instead currently there is an anti everything holding us hostage. This anti everything is tearing down our future.

The mantle is always being passed to the next generation. What are YOU passing down to your next generation of thinkers, builders, creators and leaders?

How to be Happy – Die Trying

How to be Happy – Don’t Give Up

I write in my blog once every so often because I am constantly posting my thoughts and discussions on Instagram, Facebook and when I feel like it on Twitter. You can find my social media here….

I hope you have a chance to visit my sites for more information. I love reaching out to people who are looking for answers as to how to be happy and or learn. As we go through our daily lives experiencing the different emotions we go through….. we sometimes lose sight of our delicate state of mind. It is always a balance between standing on the edge of a cliff or walking across the bridge. We do not realize that we must trust our heart and soul to guide us. Jumping off a cliff trusting that the safety net will always be there or we grow wings, or deciding to walk across with the knowledge and trusting in the process.
Working hard in the process to give ourselves a chance to live a quality life is a commitment we should all try and pursue. A quality life is only achieved through a happiness mindset. We must have clarity to learn happiness. Clarity is only achieved through changing your toxic mindset.
The 6 steps we need to take are so easy to identify the process is like preparing for an Ironman Marathon.

Steps to Happiness:
• Acceptance
• Perception
• Clarity
• Learning
• Practice
• Teach

I use these steps in the philosophy I teach. It is very basic in premise but the work must be put in. It is a very simple process but just like training for a marathon….. the steps are simple but the training is rigorous. You can continue to take the easy road to the end of your life and continue to suffer with the perceptions you currently live in or you can train hard for a brief time and have the rest of your life to enjoy your new state of mind.

Contact me if you are interested in learning more. I would be willing to give you the first week as a gift. Most people I work with just need a week. Fear is always one of the things we bring up when working through this process…… if you are afraid to ask me for help you have identified the first thing to work through!

Hope to hear from you soon.
