What Is True Happiness And How Do We Achieve It
Wondering how to be happy is not a though that lingers in our minds for long as there tend to be quite a few points in each day where we are very happy, but the happiness Im talking about is a more stable happiness than that, not a feeling that comes and goes with different day to day situations, and no Im not going to start preaching spiritualism at you, although that does seem to be a popular method for achieving happiness.
If you look at a person who is truly happy, you will realize that he is happy in spite of challenges and not in absence of challenges. When we talk about being happy in spite of everything, it only comes with a thorough understanding of who we are and what we stand for.
For many of us, being happy is dependant on possessions. For example, a child is always happy when they have sweets or an ice cream in their hands and it is the same way for many people all over the world, we decide we want something in our minds, and then when we get it, we feel happy. This feeling is of course though only temporary as when we get used to owning something, the happy feeling we got when we first had it fades away and we begin to want something else, and so the cycle goes. True happiness, I should probably mention, depends on you being free of any insecurities whatsoever. As long as we worry about the things we have and dont have and how long we will have it, we will never be truly happy. That is why there are billionaires out there who are miserable and get counselling for depression.
When we are not insecure on the inside, there is no real reason to be unhappy. All of the self-help gurus and all of the worlds religions say the same thing and they are all fundamentally correct. However, many people attend these self-help sessions and come away temporarily motivated to be happy, but after a week or so the feeling wears off and they end up back where they started. The way to true happiness is not to simply practice the teachings of self-help gurus whenever you can, but to incorporate them into everything you do, and if you have the right mentor for that, it really isnt that difficult.
The first step in the right direction would be when we attend a series of sessions (not just lectures) by a coach who is genuinely happy. Find that person, and you will be doing yourself a great favor!
