And how do we do that? start creating a culture of happiness for ourselves, one that doesn’t whisk away because of a bad mood, a bad day or a bad whatever! the true happiness is come from inside of you..within you! nobody can ever take that away from you.
Conditional happiness vs Authentic Happiness
When happiness is conditional, we are happy when we are having the satisfaction of having someone or things go our way. Conditional happiness is dependent on factors external; people, things.
Conditional happiness is by the belief that: "I will be happy when bla..bla..bla happens."
Authentic happiness, is not dependent on anything outside of yourselves. It is the simple joy of being, the happiness from within that we see in young children. It is the joy that is uncaused and spontaneously bubbles up from inside for no particular reason.
Many people, including me, have uncovered authentic happiness through experiencing difficult or challenging circumstances and thereby reaching a place where the futility of resistance is deeply realized. If there is one secret to happiness, it is to learn non-resistance, or allowing.
Whenever you feel bad, down, heart broken, emotional drained..there is inevitably something that you are resisting. All suffering is caused by non-acceptance of what is. You suffer when you want things to be different from how they are. What you resist persists! it rush toward you and make you feel worse and worse..
One of the greatest lessons I have learned regarding happiness is to learn to say YES to everything life brings - to adopt an attitude of welcoming everything.
Fighting against Life pollutes our inner space and causes us no end of trouble. The next time you find yourself resisting something you cannot change, Stop, take a deep breath and make the conscious choice to allow it to be OK. If you are unable to accept it, allow your inability to accept it to be OK too. Either that, or simply choose to put your attention on the present moment.
There is no need to fix or change anything (specially if it's not in your power to control). Wanting to fix it will create more of it. Simply seeing it is enough. Then see what happens!
So, my keys to finding happiness within is to become aware of all you are resisting and to make the conscious choice to simple let it be as it is! You can see how viewing your world in this way could allow an experience of continuous happiness, regardless of what you are experiencing.
In fact, if you could truly say YES! to EVERY experience, you would eliminate the possibility of ever suffering! trust me!
Be happy from inside .. and the outer world will align with your rhythm because you created your outer world as you want it to be.
So, repeat after me: "My happiness depends on me! so anything or anyone are OFF THE HOOK!
