10.30.2009 · Posted in Home and Garden Articles

Wondering about how to be happy is not something all of us do each day. In fact, there are quite a few times through out our day when we are very happy! But the happiness we are talking about here is the more enduring one ” not something which is fleeting and comes and goes with situations in our life. And no, we are not heading the spiritual way, though that is one of the most popular methods for happiness.nnIf 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.nnFor 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.nnWhen we are not insecure from inside, we have no reason to be unhappy, really. All the gurus have said the same thing ” in all the religions of the world, and they are all fundamentally correct. The teachings of todays self help masters also focuses around that aspect. However, most of the people attending those sessions walk out temporarily motivated, and not permanently inspired to be happy. For a week or so everything will seem rosy; and then it will start wearing off. For the happiness to remain constant, the teachings should not just be put into practice, but imbibed into their regular schedules. It is not really difficult!nnThe 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!
