Take Control of Your Happiness
We often think that someone or something has the key to our own happiness, right? The truth is that we decide whether we lead a joyful life. Many of us see happiness as a goal, something we want to pursue, but the more we pursue it, the unhappier we will be. It is said that: "Happiness is not a goal; it's the natural byproduct of a purpose-driven life. If you have a life full of purpose, you will feel content and feel good about yourself."
Rabbi Shmuley, an international best-selling author and Oprah's marriage, parenting and relationships expert offers his advice on how to be happy without really trying.
- Stop focusing on your happiness. Focus instead on whether your life is full, rewarding and meaningful.
- Surround yourself with a structure of selflessness. Find joy in a life of service. Giving your love to people and focusing on others will naturally bring happiness into your life. Foster creativity, promote teamwork and mentor others—rewards and promotions will come along in due time.
- Bring spirituality into your daily life. Try meditating, attending church or praying. Spirituality doesn't always have to do with religion.
- Spend more time "being" than "doing." A great way to do this is spending time with your kids playing and goofing around and just enjoying spending time together.
- Laugh at yourself a little. Try not to be critical of yourself, and celebrate your everyday successes.
Have a blessed week and a happy Monday to all!
you have a nice day yourself!
