This question has perplexed the greatest philosophers and theologians of our time. Everybody wants to know how to get it or where to get it. Some people even look into money and possessions for it. Yet it eludes you like you never had a change of achieving it.
The real truth is you can achieve it and it’s probably easier than you think to get it. So do you want to know how to get it? I was sitting down writing my to-do list the other day and instantly hit me. It was like a tsunami of wisdom flooded my brain. In fact, it inspired me to write this article.
It only comes down to one thing, but I broke that one thing up into three parts. That one thing is: Get busy! You have to get up get out and get busy. Thats right, it is that simple.
We read tons of self help books and go to countless seminars yet the answer is right in front of our faces. Here are the three additional parts you also need to remember.
1. Get Busy Doing What You Love
Are you passionate about something? Of course you are. Everybody has something they really like to do. If you don’t know what that one thing is, then looker harder. Trust me, you will find it. Now get busy doing it. This is why I write about productivity so much. We have to learn how to get motivated about something. This is what separates the happy from the sad. If you want to be happy you have to work for it.
2. Get Busy Loving Other People
If you are unhappy with you life it may be that you’re missing love. I not talking about a romantic love, I mean deeply caring about someone. Want have you done for someone lately? Is it all about you? These are some of the questions you may want to ask yourself. Love has a way of bringing passion into your life and passion is a catalyst for happiness.
3. Get Busy Loving Yourself.
I saved the best for last. A lot of people have difficulty with this one. This is because people mistake loving yourself with being conceited. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Being conceited has to do with being to proud. Loving yourself is about respect and self worth. You should wake up everyday feeling great about being you. After all there is only one you and the odds of you are tremendous. If you need help with this idea, just think about Lady Gaga’s hit song “Born This Way”. You’re on the right track in life because you are who you are.
You should have realized by now that becoming happy take some work. You can’t expect to sit around and be happy. It doesn’t work that way. We live in times now where everyone wants instant gratification. Well I’m here to tell you, that is not happiness. It will not last. You need to create happiness and just like anything worth having, it takes time.
Hang in there!
