While researching recently about Happy Living, it made me think about the process I’ve been through during my journey to realizing less is more.
Intentionally living with only the things I really need—those items that support my purpose.
I am removing the distraction of excess possessions so I can focus more on those things that matter most.
We all want to be happy. We often set our goals around things that we believe will make us “happy.”
For example:
- I want a new home
- I want to find my soulmate
- I want to get a new job that I love
- I want to make $100,000 a year
- I want to travel the world
Those are just a few examples of things one might want to achieve, and I’m sure you have a few of your own you could easily add.
All those things are great, of course, and if you go back to the last time you achieved something significant in your life, I’m sure it did make you happy.
However, the question I have for you is: how long were you happy?
Often when we achieve something great, we are happy for a certain amount of time. Then eventually that happiness wanes, and we jump on to the next “goal” or the next achievement to conquer (so we can be happy again).
This type of happiness is equivalent to being on a rollercoaster ride that just never ends.
Up and down, up and down, up and down.
Now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t have goals and plan to achieve great success in all areas of your life. Of course you should. We talked about those very things earlier in this book, and how integral they are to creating your dream life.
This is what is called playing the game of life, and it’s how you set the manifestation process in motion.
We dream, we set goals, and we create action plans to have those dreams become our reality. Yet what we miss most often is, actually being happy while we are playing the game.
You see, it IS all a game. Even when we are playing at the highest levels.
Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose, but you always continue playing the game. So, what if you could be happy all the time while you’re playing this game?
What if I told you that getting yourself to a state where you’re happy all the time, no matter what, will in fact manifest all your goals and dreams with lightning speed. Would you believe me?
So often, we find ourselves saying, “I’ll be happy when…” focusing on achievement in the future.
Meaning, you are not happy NOW.
If you are not happy now, it will be very difficult to achieve and manifest what you want in the future.
Why?
Because when you are not happy, you are generating negative energy.
This simple factor guarantees that the road will be much longer than necessary when it comes to manifesting what you want and desire in your life.
- Imagine if you’ve reprogrammed your
conscious mind and your thoughts were always positive. - Imagine if you’ve reprogrammed your subconscious
mind so your beliefs were aligned with what you want (and not repelling the very things you wish for and desire) - Imagine if you were in a constant state of Love, Peace,
Joy and Gratitude and projecting the highest level of positive energy all the time.
What would your life be like?
Focusing on being happy now will dramatically accelerate your results to achieving the life of your dreams. It is the key to bouncing back higher than ever when life knocks you down.
