Happiness
Why is happiness such a popular point of discussion? Could happiness havereally become a mere symbol of success instead of the only true success? Has our society become so fixed on pleasure that happiness has escaped us? Could it be that we have become so driven by our Ego that our Soul is ignored? I believe the answer to all these questions is "Definitely Yes!"
Oursociety focuses on material things in an attemptto relieve an internal, unyielding obsession. The Soul cries out for God and the Ego delivers a material idol instead.Yet the Soul is not satisfied withmaterial thingsas Jesus enlightened us in Matthew 6: verse 24 (King James Version of theBible), "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."Ego has only mammon to offer us as Ego is master of the material world.
Our Soul is our connection with God.The only true happiness is the awareness of our eternal connection to God through grace. Until we can understand God's eternal unconditional love for us we will never achieve true happiness. Thehappiest people I have ever metwere spiritually inspired. It doesn't matter what avenue of spiritual devotion one finds but either we are or we are not dedicated. It is not ideas but dedication to ideas that promote happiness.
If we are devoted to goodness, webecomea byproduct of our Soul.If we are devoted to evil we becomea byproduct of our Ego. Ego dedicates us tome and Soul dedicates us to we. If we can achieve greatness that elevates our society and our planet to greatness there can be no greater happiness. So if you want to be intensely happy, construct a life that raises the consciousness of the human condition. And as always, remember...
Your Life is PERFECT!
PAY ATTENTION!!!

Re: The secret to happiness
- Happiness comes from within. We choose whether we want to be happy or not. Circumstances can influence our feelings, but in the end, it's up to us how we deal with our circumstances, positively or negatively.
I admire anyone who can stay strong and be happy through adversity. There will always be challenges that we face, but I believe that if we face them with our heads held high, the odds of overcoming them are much greater.
This reminds me of the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness." Happiness spelled wrong for a reason. One of Will Smith's greatest movies. I encourage you all to watch it as it's very inspiring.

Re: The secret to happiness
- Happiness is working on the job you love. I forgot who said this, "give a man the job he loves doing and he will ever work again in his life"
Re: Are you really happy?
- Happiness is not in things or should not be in things but in you
Re: The secret to happiness
- [quote="barrysarner":2awy1urv]I agree and happiness is different for every individual.[/quote:2awy1urv]
Happiness is something that comes from within each person it not something that we can find externally. Something from outside such as an exciting event or a new car can make us happy, but this is a fleeting emotion. True happiness is within each person if we choose to it over misery.
