Key to happiness?
Wow! That sounds profound, but let's first consider…
What is Happiness?
Happiness isn't just a feeling or an emotion, it's an overall state of being independent of individual circumstances that may cause temporary stress, sadness or conflict. Happiness comes from within – it is a conscious choice, not a response to external influences. If you rely on things or other people to make you happy then, let's face it, you're not in control of your own life.
Love, Joy, Peace and Abundance are the key ingredients of a happy life, but for many people this seems like an impossible dream, especially during these turbulent times.
Many of us experience these positive states from time to time but the challenge is to manage to sustain them consistently in our day to day life.
That's because we’re taught to believe that our quality of life is dependent on circumstances, so we live in anticipation of happiness, which is dependent on some future situation. “I’ll be happy when… (fill in the blank)”.
Choosing to live in love, joy, peace and abundance (and variations on these positive states) will raise your vibrational frequency and transform you into a powerful creator, which means that happiness is always under your control.
Many aspects of life that we have relied on in the past are breaking down, and this is acting as a catalyst for the shift in human consciousness that has been happening over recent years. It is forcing people to re-evaluate their life and making them choose whether to respond positively or negatively to the changes that are happening. More and more people are becoming aware and ‘awakening’ as a result, while others continue to be lost in negativity and fear.
Raise Your Vibrational Frequency
Your vibrational frequency is determined by your thoughts and emotions and if you allow your thoughts to be dominated by fear, anger and other negative reactions to personal circumstances and to the global changes that are happening, you will create a low vibrational frequency resulting in you being locked into a world of fear pain, conflict and scarcity.
To raise your frequency you must replace your negative thoughts and emotions with positive loving, peaceful and joyful ones. This is a gradual process of replacing the old habits of thinking and reacting to events, people and situations into new habits that actually create positive outcomes for you.
Many people who are becoming more conscious and introducing spiritual practices into their life know that their goal is to become loving, joyful, peaceful and abundant. Although they can achieve these higher states of consciousness during meditation and in quietness and solitude, they find it difficult if not impossible to sustain it in everyday life.
The purpose of your life is to develop the ability to sustain these positive states when you’re facing the challenges of this world, not to experience love, joy, peace & abundance only when you have isolated yourself from its influence. Otherwise your state of being is conditional and dependent on your environment rather than created by you, and you will remain a reactor rather than becoming a creator (interesting that the two words are anagrams of each other) of everything you desire.
Choose to BE Happy
Being happy or not is your choice, and you have the power to either create love, joy, peace and abundance or the opposite – fear, pain, conflict and scarcity. The challenge we all face is that we live in a culture dominated by a media that focuses on problems and negativity, and makes us believe that we are powerless victims of circumstances.
The opposite is true.
You have the power to create the life you want.
It is a simple choice (but not necessarily easy).
The challenge is to distinguish between your truth and your conditioning, change your thoughts and feelings (creators of your reality) and your beliefs about the way the universe works.
Become a Conscious Creator
