Journey to Happy

1/11/2019

0 Comments

 
Happiness is a journey. It is a process. It is personal. It is relative. And it changes form in an instant.

Treat your happiness as a journey; as something that evolves as you grow along your path.

Happiness changes definitions throughout our lives as we learn new things, discard old things, and make choices based on what we know

What does it mean to be happy for you right now?

Can you think of a time when being happy meant something different?

How about your dreams of the future, what does happy look like then?

In order to grasp happiness and hold it tight, you have to define it first, and yet simultaneously be ready to release it and allow for an upgraded version of happiness to enter your life.

Happiness is ultimately within us. It is not based on outside factors, because those change even more quickly than our core self over years of growth. If you base your happiness on achieving the next thing, on acquiring the next thing, on waiting for the next thing to happen, then you will never be happy. Happiness is in the present moment. You can only be happy now, not then, and not later.

Ask yourself: Do you even want to be happy?

We like what is familiar. The human mind loves what is familiar. It likes patterns. It likes repetition. The mind finds a familiar pattern to keep you safe, because the minds’ one and only job is to survive. So if you have been unhappy for 50 years, unhappiness is familiar to you. Some people even like being unhappy. It is what is safe for them.

And yet we can make a new choice to be happy in any moment.
We forget this sometimes, and that is okay. Bring yourself back to remembering. We make choices every day, all day, in every moment. And our choices define our life path while providing learning opportunities; the ultimate growth for our mind, bodies, and soul. You can choose to be happy. The first step is choosing. Even if you don’t know how to get happy yet, make the conscious decision to figure it out, to work towards it, to be happy.

Start your journey to be happy, whatever that looks like to you. Honor yourself in every moment and make choices that will steer your life in the direction you want. Unhappiness may be familiar right now, but you can also make happiness, joy, and bliss familiar. Keep moving towards happy.
