Finding Happiness

Are you doing what you were meant to do?  Do you feel all that you were meant to feel?  It seems no one is doing or feeling what they were truly put here to experience. There is too much pain instead of happiness in this world. We are all looking for love in all of the wrong places. Finding true happiness and a sense of love with life should come naturally. There  are times that you may feel a sense of oneness with happiness and love filling your very soul BUT it just does not last long enough. Why?  Finding happiness and love is the answer. Now we have to ask the right questions.

What is it that makes you laugh? 

Laughter goes with happiness and what makes you laugh brings joy to your very soul. I have often talked about laughing until you cry. Tears of joy empty out the frustrations and weights of the world that sit on the hearts of  each of us. Set your heart free and find peace by letting go with laughter coming from the depths of your very soul.

What do you find comes naturally?

What do you really like to do? What brings you self-gratification? Find what goes from being work to being fun to do and do it. What others find as being boring or even silly can prove to be your life's vocation. Be who you are and find that natural spark that makes your life worth living. 

What sparks up your life?

Make your life important to you by seeking what motivates you. What brings out the creative juices in your mind? What do you enjoy just thinking about and planning? Next get active and pursue your dreams. Focus on what fulfills your life.

What do you think about when you are alone?

When you are without outside influences what do you find comforting? What do you feel will bring joy from accomplishing?  Completely by yourself, what will you go all the way with to reach your goals? Do you lie awake at night thinking about a plan of action and then get up and get started on it? That's called having passion.

What do you love talking about?

With your best friend what do you enjoy sharing? What do you have passion about sharing from your life? Do you enjoy making others laugh? Laughter is best enjoyed when shared with someone else.

Do you spend your time trying to please others?

Stress comes from not learning how to let go of this world and the influence of others.  Just be yourself. Pleasing others is selfish on their part. Do not be a part of it! Seek what pleases you first and then share it with those that can appreciate it. 

Are you happy?

True happiness must be found in yourself. Yes learn to be happy all by yourself.  If you are dependent upon someone else to make you happy you will be let down. Happiness starts on the inside and then bubbles out. Let no one take your sunshine away because there is a rainbow at the end of the storm.

Live long and be happy in yourself and every walk of your life.   

sincerely,James     

Time to Be Happy

Happiness today is relevant to our time. How do you spend your time? Do you find the time to spend doing things that make you happy? Do you have the quality time that you would like with your family?
Happiness starts with time management. You must make the time to enjoy the things that make you happy. Look at each daily task. How much time do you have in a day? How much time do you spend sleeping? How much time do you spend going to and from work? How much time at work? How much time do you spend on entertainment? How much of your time is spent in family activities? Sit down and write them out so you may analyze each item. What is most important to your happiness? There are many responsibilities that we must accomplish in each day. If our time is spent efficiently in every aspect of our day, we can find the time to enjoy each day.
Now that you have found the time to be happy what will you do? Lasting happiness is found in two areas of our life. The spiritual is an area that can not be left out of your life. It envelops inner peace and self fulfillment of hopes and dreams. At times, spiritual happiness can be shared and needs to be shared. Often this happiness is all about you. What your dreams require to be accomplished can lead you to separate yourself from others at times. Time for ones' self can often be time by ones' self. It is not a selfish act but a self fulfilling act. Spend time getting to know yourself and then be true to yourself. Seek happiness within yourself and not let your happiness be dependent upon someone else.
Now the physical area of happiness in your life. The relationships in your life and connections even in your work contribute to the physical well being of your life. That loved one that you hug, that you cook for, that you take care of brings you physical happiness. When your job becomes enjoyable by being challenging and rewarding it too can bring physical happiness. Physical happiness brings others into your life. It is shared happiness.
I find happiness in a sunny day. Watching squirrels play. Seeing a laughing child at play. I am happy in a good book. For me it is crime novels and motivational writers. I am happy with the LADY I love in a quiet moment just snuggling up listening to smooth jazz. I have been told that I enjoy my food. I guess that is a happiness for me also. I am happiest when I laugh. Laugh until I cry. Oh how I love to laugh. I am happier when I have helped someone in need because GOD has blessed me and how can I not give back.
What makes you happy?

What has influenced me the most are the questions that we ask in life. What do you want in life? What do you need in life?  Most people just want to be happy but never make the time to enjoy their happiness. Time can never be saved but our memories can. Let your memories be of happy times.
