Live Happy - You Are Your Thoughts

The biggest wake up call I ever had was when someone said to me "You Are The Sum of All Your Thoughts, Actions and In-Action". It took me some time to take it in, digest it, and then have the euphoric feeling that "I get it" It was one of those statements that resonated with me on so many levels. To put it plainly if just made sense. So how do you live happy? Well, for instance, this afternoon I suddenly got into a really bad mood. Why? No idea. I had two options to me. Option 1: Blame the world. Blame someone for making me feel bad. Search out the blame. Make a huge story out of it. Option 2: Realise that this was not the feeling I wanted and slowly make a progession out of the mood. At the end of the day, my mind, my mood, I'm in control.

Live Happy And Have A Wonderful Life

Life is a wonderful thingAll of us have our belief systems whether they be from our hearts or doctrines that we have been taught through out our lives by our parents or whomever, many of these teachings have been passed down from generation to generation so they must be true . . . . right? Most of us ARE actually singing out of the same prayer book, what a whole bunch of people are missing here is we don't have to label it as this religion or that. The basics (in all the books) are, be good to one another, live your life with good intent, be happy, be kind and know that you are your own creator.

In a few well known books, that you will all know in one form or another it tells anyone who reads it that god made man in his own image, ie you are god. You are your own creator.

This sounds a very bold statement but, in true essence it is in fact very powerful. In order to make the most of any situation you have to realise you have within you the capabilities to do, be, have anything you wish. It has been there all along.

Live Happy and Wake Up To Inspirational Quotes

I am a great lover of the inspirational quote and a friend of mine got one of the transfers below for her house, it looked AMAZING.

In the right place these are truly little (or in my friends case HUGE) works of art.

I am not going to put any description under them as they truly speak for themselves.

To Live Happy You Need To Turn Your Switch ON

Turn your guidance system onWhen you were born you had the very best, top of the range, bespoke inbuilt guidance system, it told you when you liked something and when you didn't. When you were happy and when you were sad. When you werere afraid and when you were elated. From your first encounters of life it worked. But gradually as you got older you started losing it, and putting it in the wrong cupboards in your mind. You started becoming worn down by the insistence of those older and so called "wiser" people who surrounded you as you let yourself believe that you could not trust your own mind. Somewhere along the line, you didn't realise but a switch was pressed. Maybe you got a job you really didn't want or got a car that was neither the make or the model you actually desired and every fibre of your body was screaming at you not to get the job/buy that car, but, hey, you had been told that was all you could do, all you could have. You flicked the switch and put the system on standby.

To Live Happy ~ What Have You Done Lately?

When your systems are all on, what have you attained in life that, on reflection you would have seriously regretted not taking the risk for?

I know that there are some things I have NOT done in my life that, at the time I knew was a brilliant idea, but did not have the nerve to do. Now however, I take the chance and trust in myself so, so much more. Do you?

If an oportunity came up to have something you always desired but you would risk a lot would you

Go for it, I have missed them in the past and will never miss the chance again

SilmarwenLinwelin says:

I would as long as it was something I wanted really bad

rainbowbutterfly says:

Yep, Yep, I would. I am a risk taker by nature. Life is for me boring when there are no risks to take.

OrganicMom247 says:

I would take it by the horns.

Not take the risk . . .it could go wrong.

Miran74 says:

Taking the risk is by me just forcing into something what does not necessarily serve you. I like to be awake and just let the things happen...

cffutah says:

I've got specific things that I simply wouldn't be for sale. Things dear to me, not possessions.

 

Live Happy by Taking Responsibility For Our Actions

Take control, take responsibilityWe spend most of our lifetimes being governed, following sets of rules or groups of people instructing us what is "right" and what is "wrong", this is like listening to one man stating that he wants to bring about world peace, a noble thought, but when thought through it is one mans perception of how he believes we should all live our lives by his ideals. This would be a dictatorship.

At this point it is worth noting, I am not pulling religions to pieces in any way shape or form. I am a spiritual little being and believe the teachings in ALL are beautiful, wonderful and fantastic How-To guides. How we use that information is completely up to each and every individual.

What I am stressing is the fact we have to take responsibility for our own actions we are our own creators. YOU are the only person culpable for your actions both from this point forward and for all your actions and re-actions the in past. You are the only persona that can make whatever IT is happen. You always have been. You always have been able to go with your intuition/gut feeling YOU just chose not to.

Live Happy and Be Your Wonderful Creator

You ARE simply the bestThis fact was imparted to a couple I knew and I was amazed at how expansively different their reactions to this was. One of them was completely floored went stony silent and ashen when asked what was wrong she was beside herself as she realised that no-one else could be or should be blamed for ANYTHING that had come to pass in her existence, in essence she was mortified by the fact that she could not blame other people for her mistakes or misfortunes in life.

On the other end of the equation the other person was completely and utterly blown away by it, elated, over the moon, he realised that if he was his own creator this means that he would and always had been capable of anything and everything he wished to do, capable of healing, capable of being very top in his game as he only had himself to answer to, not only this but his scope on life suddenly became limitless. He even came out with this wonderful statement:

"Nobody can impact upon your own creation unless invited."

In essence, you choose your path and your destination, you have a built in sat-nav that, trust me, no, trust IT, it works. Just flick the switch back to ON. You have all the power and tools to be the best and most wonderful creator.

So, go and believe in your guidance system, believe in yourself and have faith and trust in the future, understand that it will deliver what you ask.

To Live Happy - If You Want Something ENOUGH You Will Achieve It

Respect is due . .

You CAN do ANYTHING

The Truth of it all is, you can be, do and have anything your heart desires. The secret is you have to WANT it.

I was looking around the web for some pictures for this article and came across Matt Sochin in Ohio on a Skateboarding site (http://struggleskateboards.blogspot.com) and I saw this photo. Now if this man is not an illustration of desiring and wanting to do and be something and succeeding I don't know what is.

Why NOT give it a try

I did and had a great laugh. My daughter has her old and battered deck outside the back door. I did show it to the dog, but hey, one can dream.

Having A Wonderful Life Is Your Choice

If you do nothing else please, watch this clip

If ever there was a quote in a film that made me sit up and listen, this was it.

Have you ever wondered how Olympic athletes get to be champions, how can anyone snowboard, how do you become a famous singer, a multi millionaire etc. The answer is they had a go. They had faith in themselves that they could and in some cases had enough faith to know that they not only could, but would be the best. We are all born with the same chances it is just some chose to use them.

It is not big headed to know you are good at something. We are all good at something. It is just that we need to rid ourselves of the fear of the "what if we can't" speach in our heads and replace it with "I know I can". THAT is how every successful human on this planet made it. They had faith in their hearts that they could.

Thank you for stopping by.

I hope you enjoyed reading my little piece.

Sometimes I know, I go on a bit, but it is only due to the fact that through learning and implementing what I have learnt have I turned my life around and am a happy little being, and, when I'm not, I know how to find the path back there again.

I am not perfect and will never elude to being as such, I have just as many things to sort out as the next person, but have found a way to do it pretty easily as I have been given the instruction manual to my life.

As ever, I truly hope you enjoyed your visit. If you want to find out more about stuff I do please visit BY CLICKING HERE.

    Great lens. I'm reading a book now about living the wisdom of Tao that says a lot of the same things. Seems to work well, at least for me. Thought provoking and well done.
