People always seem to stay trapped in their own worlds, don't you think? From time to time moments of clarity seem to filter through the grimy stress of day to day...but is it enough? In my experience all it takes to be happy, to truly be OK with the ups and downs of life is this one, little thing. Courage! I bet you've heard that one before! Let me explain...or actually, let this wise guy explain! A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
Mahatma Gandhi If these words ring true with you, it's probably because you've already been searching for a way to be happy(without anti-depressants and other medications!) The braver we are, the less concerned we are with what people think, do and say. The more we free ourselves of the fear of embarrassment, loving and being compassionate to ourselves becomes easier. Finally, once we love ourselves( Not by hurting others! Being selfish is NOT loving ourselves!) We give our love to others more generously. We give freely, expectant of nothing in return. We talk sweetly (less raised voices and things said out of anger). We become warriors for ourselves in a spiritual sense! Unafraid of tomorrow, we make decisions for today! Here's another great quote! It's the most unhappy people who most fear change.
Mignon McLaughlin
Unhappy with your Job? Unhappy with your relationships? Have you noticed how much you've been complaining? Even if it's not out-loud, those negative thoughts become negative actions that manifest directly into the world around you. So take a time out, breathe and gather your courage. Make a change!Chronic Unhappiness does not necessarily mean there is something wrong with your brain chemistry. It is your mind, heart and soul telling your body that there are changes in your life that need to be made! This should be exciting, because once you take that first step in changing your attitude and life...you'll get a burst of energy!
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Christopher McCandless
So gather up your courage, be brave with your love and make a change! Only you know what needs to change in your life, and believe it or not... you hold the power of the universe in your hands! Infinite love and peace is indeed possible! Sure, there will be good and bad days! Just remember, you are part of the divine cycle of life, and life is too short to sit on your ass being unhappy! XO
