Finding Happiness in the Real World

Finding happiness in the real world can sometimes seem impossible. Daily frustrations and irritations can accumulate, making life seem less than fun. You might be lonely. You might hate your job. While there are some life events that are difficult to overcome, you can be happy, if you really want to be.

First, you have to identify what it will take to make you happy. What are your dreams, goals or aspirations? Do you have a sense of spirituality? Do you realize that we are supposed to be happy?

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. –Jesus Christ (John 15:11-12)

There are some people that truly believe that life is some sort of punishment. Some people think that they are being punished for something that they did in a previous life. Others believe that they must struggle in this life, in order to be rewarded in the afterlife. What do you believe?

Your beliefs cause you to have feelings. Those feelings lead to thoughts. Those thoughts might be positive or negative, but they have “force”.

Positive thoughts create a positive force that attracts positive things into the field of energy created by it. Scientists are just now learning how to measure thoughts and the energy created by them. Finding happiness is a simple matter of generating positive energy. In other words, happy thoughts attract happy things.

All of this might seem difficult to believe, until you start to experience it. It’s what some people refer to as magic or serendipity. It’s what others refer to as coincidence or precognition. Those of us that have received the things that we want in our lives are simply grateful.

Being grateful is all a part of it. No matter the situation that you find yourself in at this moment, there must be something to be grateful for, even if only for being alive. Learning to count your blessings is a step towards happiness. One of the other steps is to “give”.

Whatever you have, whatever you can spare, even if it is only your time, give of yourself. The things that you give away will be multiplied and returned to you. Again, it might sound unrealistic, but it is true.

If a person is angry and walks around with a scowl on their face, they will never be happy. Only those of us that know the secrets of life will respond to their scowls with joy.

When you are on the road to finding happiness, avoid the negative people in your life. Spend time with people that are happy and positive, you’ll start become happier as a result.

Finding happiness Quotes
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER:
I can think of nothing less pleasurable than a life devoted to pleasure.

JOHN MILTON: The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven.

ALBERT CAMUS:
When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter.

ALBERT SCHWEITZER: Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

ECCLESIASTES: For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.

GEORGE BURNS: Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.

GEORGE SAND: There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

H.H. THE DALAI LAMA:The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy.

HH THE DALAI LAMA:
When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.

HH THE DALAI LAMA:
Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others' actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others' activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others."Finding happiness"
