Don’t wait for happiness. Happiness always starts with yourself. Nobody else can make you happy. It’s your job. It’s your effort. Happiness starts… in your inner being. It’s a feeling felt in the heart and soul. You have to feel that by yourself. That’s why somebody can have it all but still feel unhappy. That’s why somebody has absolutely nothing but feels very happy. Happiness is personal. That is why there is no random definition of happiness, as happiness is a personal feeling that is highly subjective. What makes me happy can make you unhappy. So… you better try to figure out (by feeling!) what makes you happy after all.
YOUR FEELINGS ARE YOUR HAPPINESS INDICATORS
Now, be honest: what makes you happy? Feel deep inside and reflect on these feelings. Those sparkles felt in the heart and the soul. Sure, there is something that makes you happy. Try to focus on these (perhaps tiny) sparks and live those. You don’t need big things, lying and searching for happiness outside yourself, as those sparkles can be internally felt. Remind yourself of whatever might make you sparkle inside. Hold these feelings tight. You are never too old. It’s never too late. Happiness, felt in your being, in the deepest layers of who you are, should always be lived. Like those dreams that might also lie behind the surface of appearances, the material overload, or behind those masks to hide the truth. The authentic truth, existential trustworthiness, of yourself.
If you feel stuck, rather unhappy in your life, perhaps in a relationship, or maybe in your current job… There might be a possibility to change if you allow your feelings. Felt by the heart. Felt by the soul. What do they reflect to you? This could be the moment to take the step, make the change, and choose happiness in the present moment, known as ‘the now.’ If you feel unhappy, it might be a sign that something has to change. Perhaps your attitude. A negative mind might make you unhappy, or it may be time to start over. Make that change, feel your heart, and follow the heart & soul. Always seek your happiness! Nobody else will do that for you. You are here to make your soul happy. Life is precious, you know. It is limited in time. It won’t last forever…
Start caring for yourself. Feel what lives behind the surface, beneath in your beautiful soul. Start feeling, embracing, and loving yourself. That isn’t an outer replacement of whatever. Self-care is inherent to self-love. Taking care of your being. As you realize, just be aware that your being -your precious soul- needs nourishment, love, and care, too! You can’t have a happy soul without taking good care of your soul. Self-care means listening to what your soul needs and wants to live. By cherishing your being with self-love, self-respect, and self-worth, you establish a foundation for inner equilibrium. To feel the happy glow inside. Start feeling what it needs. As your being needs rest… rest. If your being lacks love… give it love. If your being wants joyful things, be cheerful and do things that light and lift your soul. Take care of yourself and your soul, and make your soul happy or happier, as this is an inside job and never an outer accomplishment.
Self-love… love your…self. Love yourself to the fullest. In complete perspective, glory and acceptance. Completely. With all your quirks and flaws. The whole ‘duality package’. All included. How great indeed. Yes, you can do that. Yes, you can. To love yourself. As a basis to start. Of loving others. To embrace yourself, ‘your selfie,’ isn’t selfish as it is necessary to live by, with love, great love, universally loved, and for the universal love. Love yourself. Love. Be loved. Spread love. Feel the love. Feel the happiness.
‘If you look at every new experience: In all openness, in all wonder, in totality & with love, you know how to get the positive out of every experience, then the beauty of existence unfolds. Facing you in all facets, in total amazement. You realize you do not need much to be happy. You have yourself. You only have another perspective…’
THE TEN GOLDEN RULES OF LIFE BY MY HAPPY SOUL
1. Life isn’t about getting what you want all the time or about fulfilling your material desires. Life is about the abundance you create through your heartful intention, positive thoughts, and belief in yourself.
2. Life isn’t about complaining about what you don’t receive. Is that what life is all about? Life is about getting and giving love. Being a light that sparkles and shines. You live a purposeful life.
3. Life isn’t about talking about others or gossiping without seeing what kind of person you truly are. Are you perfect? Life is about knowing who you are, soul searching, soul evolution, and seeing the essence of your (inner) being: your authenticity.
4 Life isn’t about blaming others for everything that (you think) is going wrong. Life is about taking responsibility for your actions. What you say, what you do, and how you react. In love, by love, and for the love, that is the way…
5 Life isn’t about you alone. You and only, all the time. Definitely not! Life is about far more than only you. It’s about the connection we have with others. Energetically, we are all universally seen and connected. How great.
6 Life isn’t about just following your ego with all its negative emotions like fear, regret, and anger. Life is about living by the heart. Living by the soul. The heart is your ‘homie’ of the soul. Living by the heart and soul will make you so much happier.
7 Life isn’t a rat race you have to run. You choose this way of living. Life is about doing what you love to do. Doing what you love… With all your heart, pure intention, and dedication. With a deep inner passion.
8 Life isn’t about jealousy, hate, and envy of others. You always want to have something that others have or want. The grass isn’t greener on the other side of the lawn. Just realize that. We all carry our backpacks. We tell our own story. Life is about compassion, kindness, and being helpful towards others.
9 Life isn’t about being occupied with matters and jobs that don’t interest you. Don’t you have dreams at all? Life is about chasing and living your dreams, about living your (soul) passions, not about what you have to do for a living without a genuine intention from the heart.
10 Life isn’t about being depressed, feeling alone, or feeling sorry for yourself. There is always something to be happy about. Even in the darkest hours, there is always some light to feel, notice, and capture. Life is about being positive and seeing the goodness in others and the blessings in the little things of life.
