Just get happy.
That (to me) is the secret to a great life. Why? Stay with me.
There are laws governing every aspect of the universe, including human experience. They go by many names, eg...
Reaping and sowing.
Like attracts like.
Cause and effect.
The law of attraction.
The essence or commonality of these laws is, specific CAUSES are always linked to specific EFFECTS, and conversely specific EFFECTS are always linked to specific CAUSES.
What this means, in practical terms, is, you can always know, ahead of time, what a specific course of thought or action will create AND you can also look BACKWARDS, from an event or occurence, to determine its CAUSE.
The important thing to understand is: CAUSE and EFFECT are LINKED. One is NOT seperate from the OTHER. Therefore, you can CAUSE a life of happy events and outcomes by becoming someone who is consciously and happy NOW, today, in your present experience and conditions.
Now, you might respond by saying, "well, i cant be happy now because of......and/or........" And if this is you, then i believe you need to understand a fact about your feelings: They are NOT caused by events or conditions or circumstances. They are caused by your INTERPRETATION or EVALUATION or BELIEFS about them. So,...
If you're not currently feeling good about some aspect of your life (including others or yourself) it means your are not INTERPRETING, EVALUATING or BELIEVING something constructive about them.
In other words, your feelings are NOT evidence of HOW THINGS ARE. Your feelings are evidence of your beliefs ABOUT them. For example...
One person loses a job and gets upset. Another loses the same job and is happy. Why? Because one sees loss. The other sees opportunity.
Someone looks in the mirror and feels sad, Another looks in the mirror and is delighted. Why? One sees flaws, Another sees miracles.
Bottom line: You can figure out how to be happy now, about any and every aspect of your life, and being so will reap you happy conditions, experiences and outcomes.
