Find something to be happy about. With each momentIt is such a simple concept - just be happy That's what we all want, isn't it? We all just want to be happy. The things we want - the cars, houses, relationships, money - we want them why? Because we think they will make us happy.
of bliss, more of that which you've identified as
your desire flows to you, until another moment of
bliss comes and another, and another, and it seems
as if the entire Universe revolves around you - and
it does. So, a very short seminar would serve you,
if you could hear it. And it would go something like
this: Find something to be happy about. Goodbye!

There is a little problem with that though - nothing can MAKE us happy. Only you can MAKE yourself happy. How? By being happy. It is a decision. It is a mind set. It is an attitude.
Guess what - you have everything you need to be happy right now. You do really - just find one thing to be happy about and focus on it. Here is something to be happy about - you woke up this morning. You got another day! How awesome is that? Here is another - even if you are sick or have health issues - your body is still an under-appreciated miracle - trillions of cells working nonstop in perfect unison just so you can have another day. And guess what - the sun came up today! And I bet there is a least one special person in your life who loves you and cares about you - isn't that a blessing?
It is all about focus. What are you focusing on? Are you focusing on the many blessings in your life, of the miracle of you or are you focusing on a tiny grain of sand in your shoe?
"I just want to be happy", right? Well the bad news is that nothing and no one can truly make you happy. The good news is that you don't need a bloody thing to change in your life to get happy. YOU and only you are responsible for your happiness. Do the world a favor and let everyone else off the hook - they are only responsible for their own happiness, not yours.
We have been trained to focus on what is "missing" or what is "wrong". Life becomes wonderful when you erase your old thought programming and replace it with unconditional happiness. Happiness that has no conditions, no stings attached and is not dependent on any person or thing. Then you are free. As an added benefit, when you get happy & stay happy, all the things you wanted come rushing into your life. Imagine that!
"Change your thinking, change your life", I don't know who originally said that, but it truly is the only thing you need to know.
So, are you happy right now? If not, I suggest that you make getting happy your number one priority. Find something to be happy about. Anything. Think about it, milk it, appreciate it. Better yet, make a list of ten things in your life you appreciate. Tomorrow list ten more and the next day ten more. Spend some time really thinking about them.
One of the reasons I starting working on this site again is to build a personal "Happiness File" - to put everything I can find that elicits a positive emotional response in one place so I can have easy access to things that make me feel good. Feeling good = happy. You can start your own list, or use mine - My Happiness File.
All it takes to quickly transform you life is to change your attitude, your mind set. Stop being an ungrateful little brat and open your eyes to the wonder of your life. No matter your circumstances, you have way more good - I promise you. Find it and focus on it. Make the most important thing in your life to be happy. If you aren't happy, stop what you are doing and get happy. Pay attention to how you feel when you are happy and reach for that feeling often. Try to make the feeling stronger and stronger. Work on feeling happy everyday and in no time you will have transformed your life by transforming yourself.
