How Do I Find Happiness Within Myself?

Finding happiness takes practice and choice. You choose to seek happiness each day through what you do, what you do for others, how you choose to think, how you react to others. When you find yourself making bad choices or thinking negative thoughts, you consciously choose to stop this and make a higher choice, stop the negative thoughts about yourself or others and stop reacting with bitterness of feelings of betrayal about others.

  5. The nature of the soul is pure eternal happiness. That is you. Knowing that requires purification of the consciousness because now we think we are the body that was born and will eventually die. That is not who we are. We are the soul within the body that gives the body life. When we realize our eternal nature and realize that we will never die the first symptom of that realization is supreme happiness because all fear is totally gone. And in that consciousness nothing that happens to the body or mind, including death, will disturb our happiness.

I know that sounds superficial but I found that there are no way around my own desires and ultimate image of myself, and the closer to that image I get, the happier I can be. Don’t forget, if you change, you are still yourself! However, do not change to fit other people’s profiles, if you want to change because someone does not like something about you, don’t, but if you wish to change because of your own desires, do it!
