Lasting Happiness
The real reason why we sometimes experience a lack of real, deep lasting happiness in our lives is dependency. We are taught to make our happiness dependent on some event, condition, person, object etc. This is why we keep delaying our happiness until things are just right in our life. We think we will be happy in the future and then wonder why we are not happy now. But life is never just right, and the future never comes – there is only now!

And that’s why, in order to be happy we must make our happiness a decision and not a dependency. This may seem slightly difficult in the beginning, because we have just spent our life being dependent on acquiring something or someone, or seeing the result we desired, or wanting some pain to go away, before we allow ourselves to be happy

Time and again we hear that our real quality is not in making the physical body attractive, but in increasing our inner beauty. We all know deep down that a person’s inner beauty is more valuable than their physical appearance. Yet today the society is using cosmetics, makeup and even surgeries to look beautiful.

1. Do take care of your body to appear presentable. But focus more on inner beauty, which is the collective vibrations of your thoughts, feelings, attitude, behaviours, habits, values and personality traits.

2. Meditate every morning and study spiritual knowledge for at least 20 minutes to consciously create powerful, pure and positive thoughts. It's your quality of thinking which creates your feelings, and that will automatically reflect in your appearance.

3. If your physical weight increases, the first result is that your physical appearance is affected. In the same way, if your thoughts are heavy and pile up, then your inner beauty is affected. After every hour, pause to check for any thoughts of stress, anger, fear, worry or pain. Change them immediately.

4. Take care of yourself, have a healthy lifestyle, be cheerful, help others, and remain light. Your facial expressions, eyes, smile, gestures and body language are the indicators of who you are in the inside – pure and powerful.

Embrace Change
When you are aware and accept that everything around you is constantly changing, and that you have no control over 99.99% of it, you are able to embrace change like a close friend!

Change is a like a river, constantly flowing and moving things around. The river of life is constantly bringing you ideas, people, situations – each one is an opportunity to be enriched or to enrich others, and to learn.

Change is the play of the universe as it entertains us in the biggest light and sound show of all time. Why not sit back and enjoy the show?

We all want to consistently deliver on our commitments and meet our deadlines. When we make a commitment, we are giving a word. It means we send a message to our body and mind, and also a message to the world around us about our intentions. And by doing what we said we will do, we not only win the trust of other people, but we also become respectable in our own eyes. Honoring our commitments positively influences our character, confidence, integrity and self-image. Most times we find a way to fulfil our commitments. But sometimes we just don’t do what we promised to do. We either under-perform or over-commit. Except the obviously unavoidable scenarios, we need to practice honoring every commitment.

1. You are not in competition. Commit carefully. Your commitments should align with your priorities, speed, capacity, resources and values.

2. Don’t just try, wish or hope. Decide and be determined to succeed.

3. Every morning, create affirmations of how to be and what to do, to move closer to success. Visualise yourself having achieved the goal. They are like signals to your mind and body, to co-operate.

4. Do not dilute your commitment with even a single thought of doubt or fear. Believe in yourself.

These practices help you take commitments seriously. Repeat this affirmation a few times to take your commitments seriously and deliver -

Consider the Consequences

Become very, very sweet. Remove even the slightest trace of anger. Whatever you think, whatever you say, consider carefully all the consequences beforehand. By performing actions knowing their consequences, success is definitely experienced.

Communication (Part 1)

A great deal of our communication is non-verbal and we rarely realize the effect that it has on others. Our tone of voice, our body language (particularly our eyes and face), our attitudes and our feelings, are constantly in communication with others, expressing anger, fear, love, trust, rejection - in fact, all our feelings and emotions. We cannot hide what we mean; we may do so for a while, but finally the truth emerges.

Communication is not just with others, but also with the self, with the Supreme Being and even nature. Being still, focused and open enables us to tune in to others so that we can respond in an appropriate and meaningful way, not simply in a mechanical way.

Here are some common reasons for blocks to communication:

Too many thoughts, and an overload of words and actions, results in us being unable to think clearly. We lose the essence of what is trying to be conveyed (transmitted) by the other.

Being lost in our own feelings or ideas. In such a state we do not listen attentively to others.

Remembering the past in a negative way. This does not allow us to tune in properly to our present and future. When we do not communicate properly with the needs of the present time, we loose opportunities.

You are what you think

You are what you think. When you see yourself as a being of peace, peace becomes part of your nature. Share positivity and good news with others. Have something interesting and uplifting to share with those you meet. Make it a habit to cultivate peaceful thoughts each day.

Communication (Part 2)

Here are some more common reasons for blocks to communication:

Lack of sincerity. When our thoughts and feelings are honest and respectful, then the hearts of others will open to us. A positive highway of trust is built and communication flows positively.

Creating negative perceptions (understandings) and emotions about others i.e. how we visualize or label them. Such emotions, no matter how well hidden, are finally always communicated to others on a subtle (non-physical), non-verbal level, and create an atmosphere of tension and unease.

Not letting go of negative perceptions (understandings) and emotions. The only method to revive our relationship with others is to let go of negativity on a daily basis, to prevent it from building up. Far too often, the build-up happens without us even noticing it and, we wonder why positive feedback is not coming from the other side.

Lack of silence. To go deep into the self and put our thoughts and feelings into silence enables them to become positive. The silent relaxation defuses (reduces) anger and the blame and complaints that often go with it.

Attitudes

When you extend pure love to everyone with selfless motivation that is an attitude of kindness. When you send good wishes and pure feelings to those who are in deep sorrow, that is an attitude of mercy. When you see the virtues rather than the weaknesses in people that is an attitude of compassion. When you bless and uplift someone even as they defame you, that is an attitude of forgiveness. When you tolerate a situation and take responsibility as well as give cooperation even when not appreciated, that is an attitude of humility and self-respect.

Every second, every moment and every breath of your life is nurtured by attitude.

Have you been very excited about your big or small goals, worked very hard to reach there… but somewhere down the line doubted success? Just recall how it influenced the outcome. Whether it is a personal goal or a professional one, we typically need people’s support to be successful. It’s important for everyone to work with a calm, relaxed and stable mind. The environment needs to vibrate with confidence and determination. When we rely on each other, trust must be at the core of our belief and behavior. We have all experienced that people are most productive when they have a person trusting their abilities. Let's ensure no-one creates thoughts of doubt, insecurity, incompetence or anxiety – either about themselves or others. Negative thoughts become obstacles to success. If it is our goal we have a responsibility to be solution-oriented. Let’s focus only on how to help and motivate people. And let’s remind ourselves daily 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘧𝘶𝘭.

We have heard - 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘧 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦. Whether there are 10 things on our to-do list today or 20, if we begin them with self-belief, discipline and enthusiasm, our speed and efficiency increase magically. People working with us absorb our energy and feel motivated. An overall sense of belonging for the place, people and task develops. Time doesn’t seem a barrier. Sit back and make your work day unfold perfectly today. Your inner success factors of stability, comfort and happiness will have an influence on getting you success outside. You will save time and energy because there were no emotional leakages of anxiety, aggression or stress. You will go back home from your workplace pleased and happy.

Peace of Mind

Peace of mind comes not from wanting to change others, but by simply accepting them as they are.

𝟐.

Instead we need to look differently at the change with the eyes of wisdom and find benefit in the change.

𝟑. 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 - Sometimes change takes us by surprise and we lose our way in life because we keep resisting the change and preventing it from taking place. But we need to know that change is a natural part of our life and it will happen from time to time. The more we flow with it and adapt to it, the lesser our thoughts will be and we will also save time and mental energy.

A change gives us a message that with the help of our inner treasures of peace, love, joy and power and also treasures of our thoughts and time, we can create new and beautiful situations that will benefit us and others at the same time.

The deeper the connection the more sooner God gives us directions and protects us in the wave of change and also guides us through it.

Be Unlimited
Every thought I create is energy which produces its own current. In quietness, I step inside and connect to my original quality of peace. This releases me from limitations and I can help to heal the heart of the world.

The mind is the most powerful tool that the soul possesses. The mind is also our best friend. We can use it to experience goodness and positivity by creating beautiful and powerful thoughts. Everytime we create a thought, we radiate vibrations which are positive or negative in nature, depending on the type of thought. Vibrations are invisible packets of spiritual energy. The world is full of vibrations, which are created by the thoughts of billions of human souls and souls of other living beings.

2. Making our lifestyle pure and positive by shifting to a pure vegetarian diet; making our thoughts, words and actions pure and free from vices like lust, anger, greed, attachment, ego, hatred and jealousy; sleeping early and waking up early and making spiritual wisdom and God's company a backbone of our life.

3. Creating a nice atmosphere of divine qualities and powers, respect and mutual understanding, in which everyone cares for each other and loves each other, in our homes and offices.

4. Experiencing ourselves as angels, beautiful star like souls with angelic costumes of subtle light, above the world globe and serving it with positive and powerful vibrations.

5. Taking responsibility of world change by making our nature humble and divine and serving as instruments and right hands of God, whose task at the present time, is to create heaven in the world, where all living beings and nature are pure and the world is full of good vibrations.

The Virtue of Sweetness

Just as eating and serving something sweet makes your taste buds feel sweetness, and for a while after, you remain happy, become sweet-natured yourself so that words filled with sweetness are constantly spoken. Such sweet words make both you and others happy. Use this method to always sweeten everyone's mouth; constantly maintain sweet vision, sweet words and sweet actions.

Very often we see a difficult situation effect people so much that after that they no longer believe they can succeed. E.g. a very successful person suddenly falls ill or loses an important relative or experiences sudden financial losses at work. Such type of events or similar to these ones can weaken the enthusiasm of many people and affect their confidence for future actions. Also, there are many different cases in the world when lives of many people have changed after a particular negative event in their life, which they found difficult to face. It is very true that most people in the world are today facing some negative situation or the other. These negative situations are either with the mind or with their physical body or in their role or very importantly in their different personal and professional relationships.

Hope and determination are two powers which we all require to face these different situations and presently the world has seen a decrease in these two powers in many people. Although the world is advancing in many different ways, at the same time people are no longer as internally powerful to face life’s different negative events, which are on the rise. Also, the power to control your thoughts, feelings and emotions is reducing and keeping them positive is becoming difficult for many. Of course, there are some who believe that life is all about ups and downs and also happiness and sorrow both are part of life.

Transform Negativity

The energies of life come to meet us at every moment. Most come from other people who either in the same room or on the flickering, technicolor screens with which we now share most of our homes. The vast majority of these energies are not positive. So how do we handle the ‘the negatives’, whether it’s someone’s attitude, their hurtful gestures or our daily dose of world violence and mayhem.

There are three cardinal rules. First, do not absorb it – don’t be an emotional sponge. Second do not reflect it back. Otherwise you begin a cycle of emotional exchanges which may last a long time. And third, do the one thing which marks us as intelligent human beings – transform it.

Even if the scene is a disaster there is some benefit somewhere in it. Even if you are watching two peoples beliefs or opinions slug it out to the edge of violence don’t take sides. Instead offer a solution then stand well back. Even if the person hates you, accept their state of being and return the light of love. In time, with patience, it will illuminate their darkness, and return to you by the bucketful! Just wait.

Happiness for some people today is based more on materialism and enjoying different mediums of science and technology in every sphere of life. Do you know that there are two sides to this type of happiness. When the going is good in life i.e. when there are no negative situations in your life, you feel you are on top of the world. Also, when there is even a little negative event like a disturbance at home or a little change in your health or if a friend no longer co-operates and talks well with you, then the same material mediums of science and technology can no longer support you. You feel empty inside. This is a wrong foundation of happiness.

Also, the world is in a way living on a false belief that happiness is increasing because of scientific advancement or because of better medical facilities or because of more wealth. It seems it is but it is temporary. Aren’t there so many people in the world, in fact a large number of people, who are in pain and unhappy? The richest of people, the most famous of people, the most educated people and the most advanced people are today looking to spiritual wisdom and meditation to get relief from life’s problems. They also want to be free from the pressures that come in many cases, with being rich and famous and also successful in a materialistic way.

The Ripple Effect

If I throw a stone into a pond, the ripples come straight back to me. In the same way, the effect of the words I speak and the actions I perform will eventually come back to me. Take care to speak sweetly and have a sweet nature at all times.

That feels very nice to hear and it gives you happiness. There is nothing wrong with that, but when our happiness starts becoming dependent on such events, that’s when the foundation of our happiness is a wrong one. After hearing a positive piece of news, after one day you are told that your favorite sports team has lost the final of a very famous tournament. You see your team losing and suddenly your happiness is lost. So, enjoy the positive events but don’t think that life will not have its negative events ready to reduce your happiness, if your happiness stands on the wrong foundation.

Also, if you are truly and internally happy in this way, as per spiritual principles, then that once in a while negative event or that shocking accident on the road or a sudden loss of wealth will not disturb you either. Constant happiness comes by increasing one’s inner spiritual treasures like peace, love, wisdom and power and not from outside events. That does not mean outside events will not make you happy. They will, but you do not get controlled by their ups and downs, when they happen. Also, by increasing your treasures, you remain happy even when there is a negative situation in your life. That is living happiness the right way!
