Don't Look For Happiness. Let Me Explain Why You'll Never Find It.
By:

Stop looking for happiness. Stop right now.If you are looking for happiness, my advice is GIVE UP right now! Your search is futile, youll never find it where youre looking because its not there. Resign yourself to the fact that its just isnt out there.However, Ive some good news for you.If your looking for happiness you are looking in the wrong place. Why? Its because happiness isnt out there. You already have it inside of you.Most people think that things make them happy, and search for it in those things. If they had that car or house, or went on that holiday, or had that wonderful spouse they would be happy. This thinking is incorrect thinking. Things dont make you happy. The most that things can do is to help to make you happy.Let me give you an example. Have you ever said to yourself If I had X, I would be happy. Lets say X is a particular house, the house of your dreams. Does having the house of your dreams mean that you would never be un-happy again? No. Youd still have days when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Youll have both happy and unhappy days whilst living in the house of your dreams.At most your X or dream house can only help to make you happy. You can take pleasure in sitting on that porch (even when unhappy) and watch the sun come up. So if your dream house does not make you happy what makes you happy? You make yourself happy, its as simple as that! Happiness is a choice. Its a decision. Happiness is internal, its not external.To be happy you just have to CHOOSE to be happy.Have you met people who seem to have everything but are not happy? Have you met people who seem to have nothing but always seem to be happy? Yes. How can this be? Its because happiness is a choice.In choosing to be happy there are two things to bear in mind. These are:1) Will I choose to be happy NOW?s2) Will I choose to be happy in the FUTURE?NOWsHappiness is a state. You are in complete control of your state at any given moment (although it may not seem like it). How do you control your state? Just remember, that if you remember a time when you were happy youll start to feel happy, or if you remember a time when you were laughing your head off youll start to laugh your head off. You can take complete control of how you feel all the time, just by remembering to remember good times.So all you need to do in order to feel happy now is 1) decide to be happy, and 2) remember a time when you were happy and feel your level of happiness increase. The more in detail you remember your happy time and the greater number of happy times you remember the happier you will become.FUTUREsYour happiness in your future depends on the choices you make now with regard to how you act in accordance (or not) with your values. If you decide to act in accordance with your values you are more likely to be happy. If you act in a way that conflicts with your values you are less likely to be happy.In order to give yourself that best chances of happiness you need to make happiness a priority and invest in your happiness, dont leave it to chance. Schedule happiness into your diary, and then keep your appointment.So start to be happy today, by choosing to be happy, and making happiness a priority in your life.Damian Miles is a life coach and NLP Practitioner and an expert in helping people to live the life of their dreams for more information on how you can start living your dream life, and start doing so TODAY check out Damians website at http://www.liveyourdreamlifetoday.co.uk
