Taking control: The secrets of happiness!

Happy people are not perfect; they choose to see the good in
others. They forgive easily and choose not to remember or
dwell in their own flaws...!

Happiness is a byproduct of positive energy due to a person’s positive thoughts, words and actions. It is a natural characteristic of a person which reveals unconditional love and trust in others which is a childhood trait and evident in adults seeking and practicing spiritual enlightenment.

How you can practice and maintain happiness!

Naturally all children project happiness except those who are in abusive environment or are victims of physical and or emotional abuse. Smaller percentage exits into adulthood with these positive attributes and become luminous characters that easily inject joy wherever they are. Let us examine the secrets of happy people:

1.    They know themselves and stir clear of toxic environment. Happy people naturally identify negative vibrations and take action to not be contaminated.

2.    Most of them know the benefits of positive energy as a necessary resource for their own productivity and holistic wellness.

3.    They have learned to identify toxic thoughts, words and actions and make effort to neutralize these through simple daily rituals such as meditation, payer, singing and other forms of energy healing.

4.    They know how to unload their mind free from past unpleasant thoughts by forgiving those who contributed to unpleasant experiences in childhood and or various forms of relationships. You can choose to let go of the past and move forward through spiritual concepts such as unconditional love and repentance. You can only love people now by choosing not to remember what they did to you, your family members or your country. Repentance is not being sorry because you were caught; it is a conscious and free choice to look at the situation and recognize its ugliness; making sincere decision to disassociate with the habit or incident.  You do this by thinking about the underlying reason why somebody treated you badly. It could be that a person is a victim of abuse and know nothing about loving and accepting others without judging them. You could choose to move away from hurtful thoughts because you cannot afford to allow negative energy to ruin your own plans. Either ways, you can only control you and not the other person!

5.    Run in your lane. If you listen to your inner voice – the real you – you will avoid stepping on others and be the cause of conflict. For an example, if you do your job and know your boundaries and how the chain of command works, you will handle people accordingly and know when to refer matters to those assigned to solve your job issues. If on the other hand you participate in ministry work at the church and your leader is not excellent in the way he/she handles administration issues; ignore imperfections and shut your mouth because you have to submit.

6.    Being happy is a daily conscious decision.  Make this your daily goal and acknowledge your success every evening when you meditate; regard this as a step closer to unlearning to control or judging others. It is a fulfilling feeling to see yourself becoming a new person whose happiness is not dependent on others. You can only control you and when you achieve this; you have achieved self transformation.

Health benefits of happiness!

A cheerful heart is a good medicine (Proverbs 17:22). Happiness supports physical, mental and emotional health. It lowers heart rate; levels of stress hormone cortisol and concentration of plasma associated with heart disease. According to Dr. Martin Seligman book – Authentic Happiness - studies indicates that happy people do better in social relationships; use their intelligence more efficiently; are more optimistic; have a better physical health and are more creative.

The secret benefits of happiness weigh much more than reasons to take offense or respond to any cause for unhappiness. Self control is one of the fruit of the spirit which says to us, we are responsible for our own happiness regardless of the environment. Did you notice that after watching bad news or action movies on television, you become fully entrenched in negative energy? Remember you become what you think and talk about! Good and bad things that happen to you are the results of your decision to maintain your happiness or lack of it!
  

Taking control: How to find a missing success link!

Success is characterized by ability to achieve personal optimum life in all three categories that represent ideals of mankind; namely, relationships, wealth and health. Success is personal but impacts on others when they experience positive emotional state because of what they derive from your achievements.

Positive emotions as a missing link in attaining success!

One thing you learned from the inception of your being is engaging in intimate relationship with your mother first and then other members of your family. Intimacy in this context denotes total acceptance of another person without the need to alter behavior.  Absence of positive emotion due to withholding of emotion by those who socialize you often contributes to difficulty in being a peaceable person and developing skill to relate to others; accessing wealth because of negative energy which also results in poor health.  This block-laying phase is critical for future success because it is a basis on which you build and perceive your world.  In other words, positive emotions are keys that usher you in your vortex and keep you in this favorable environment that attract success.  Absence of the positive emotion whether you are conscious of it or not, is an anchor that renders your efforts futile. Whether you understand this or not, this natural law applies to you like it is the case with the force of gravity and the law of sowing and reaping.  Absence of positive emotion is like attempting to unlock a door which has a treasure you seek with a wrong key.

Significance of positive emotions versus logic in experiencing success!

Love is a missing link because it enables you to generate ideal positive vibrations necessary to experience success. The Creator ensured that mankind has this in writing; that without love you are, and have nothing.  He says He is love and has created you out of Him therefore love is who you are.  In the state of love you are compatible with the universe and have access to all its goodies. This analogy says logic alone cannot usher you in your favorable environment of success because you need positive vibration to be in your vortex, which readily attracts and make available, things you need and want.  Your vortex denotes a positive energy vibration which is a holding place for the best of all you aspire to access. It is a realm of source where your needs are accurately explained and provided for. Your positive vibration energy is a byproduct of intentional positive thinking wherein you purposefully allow positive thoughts to saturate your whole being and therefore dispel negative energy.  Negative emotions derail you and cause misalignment with this phenomenon that attracts success.  The role of logic therefore is to show you how to get and maintain your favorable place of success. The starting point is; if this is a ‘natural law’ it means it is happening without your knowledge or permission.  It is a part of the design that regulates access to success.

How to maintain alignment to success!

You access success through understanding that you are in control of staying in your vortex by choosing to engage and maintain the principle of unconditional positive regard for self and others. This means you must stop living in the past by rewinding your unpleasant experiences; and getting involved in current negative incidents through your thoughts, spoken words and actions. It means you do not judge people regardless of their behavior.

The greatest hurdle of being successful in building ideal relationships, accessing wealth and attaining optimum health, is walking away from your unpleasant past. It is choosing to rewire you mind to apply the logic of learning to love unconditionally hence stay connected with your higher source of being.
