What Is True Happiness And How Do We Achieve It
November 8, 2009 by Jane Sullivan Daniels · Leave a Comment
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.
If you were to look at someone who is truly happy, you would see that they are happy in spite of challenges, rather than happy because they have no challenges. They will want to embrace whatever is coming their way rather than worry about it.
For many people, happiness comes with a certain object, like the way a child is happy when they have sweets, many people feel happy when they have something that they desire. But the problem with that is our desire doesnt last very long once we have those things, once we get used to the fact that we have something, we start to want something else, and so the cycle continues. I should probably mention here that true happiness depends on you being completely free of insecurities. As long as we are thinking about what we have or do not have and how long we may or may not have it, we will always be unhappy. This is why we see billionaires seeing a psychiatrist because they are still unhappy despite having every physical possession they could ever want.
When one has got rid of ones insecurities, we have no real reason to be unhappy. All the gurus throughout the ages have said more or less the same thing as do all of the religions throughout the world. Many of todays self-help classes also focus on this aspect, however most people who go to those sessions come out temporarily inspired to be happy, and for a week or so everything is perfect, but then the feeling starts to wear off like it does with everything. What you need to do is not simply to practice the teachings of these gurus, but to imbibe them into your everyday life and activities, and if you know how, its really not that hard!
The first step is to attend a series of interactive sessions (not just lectures) run by a coach who is truly and genuinely happy, and in doing so you will do yourself a huge favour.
