Happiness:
Do YOU Determine It?

Are you happy? What is
happiness? What can you do about it? The dictionary says happiness
is emotions experienced when in a state of well-being.
Have you discovered what
brings you the most happiness and joy in life yet? Think about times
when you have felt happy. What was going on around you? When you
consider all the times when you have felt especially happy, what
has been the common thread in the list of examples?
It’s fairly common
that people experience happiness when a baby is born. What is it
about a baby being born that creates such joy? Of course for the
mom part of the joy is the relief of having the baby on the outside
finally! lol But there’s more… There is an opportunity
of giving the baby what the baby wants. Have you noticed? When both
men and women hold a baby and the result is the baby stops crying,
it brings great pleasure. The person experiences pleasure when they
feel they were able to cause the baby’s contentment.
What about other times?
Were you happy in school when you received high grades? You received
those grades by giving what was wanted by the teacher, and maybe
your parents… lol What about your first love? Wasn’t
it just fun
and happy how easy it was to please that person in general?
And aren’t you continuously happy as long as you are able
to please that other person? Or, as long as they are pleased with
you?
Notice how confusing
it is when you don’t really know what people around you want.
You determine you’ll just do what YOU want for a change…only
to discover that what you want is to have connection and interaction
with others, which again gives you an opportunity to provide something
those others want. Don’t you LOVE being around someone who
clearly knows and states what they like and want so you can either
provide it yourself or refer them to where it can be provided?
Let’s take this
thought process a step further. Considering that we are all part
of one universe and knowing one of the common threads to happiness
and joy is providing what another wants, realize that thread is
also true of the universe at large. What joy and ease comes from
you stating clearly what you want! And how much easier for it to
be provided when you even say what size, shape, color, how much,
and when you would like to have it.
Start today and release
your own happiness and joy by discovering something you CAN do for
others no matter what your situation. And THEN release the joy of
the universe by clarifying what YOU want so it can be provided with
ease and joy for you.
Ask and it is given.
What do you want? Ask. Tap into that resource and natural desire
in people to give what you want from them whenever possible. Ask.
Allow the happiness for yourself and others.
One more thing. Is any
of what’s been said here true? Not necessarily. It may seem
true or not. It’s just an awakening to get your thoughts,
considering the possibility of the power you have over your own
happiness when you recognize exactly what tends to bring you the
experience of joy in life.
