What Is True Happiness And How Do We Achieve It
By Jane Sullivan Daniels | November 6, 2009
Wondering how to be happy is not a though that lingers in our minds for long as there tend to be quite a few points in each day where we are very happy, but the happiness Im talking about is a more stable happiness than that, not a feeling that comes and goes with different day to day situations, and no Im not going to start preaching spiritualism at you, although that does seem to be a popular method for achieving happiness.
If you were to look at someone who is truly happy, you would see that it is not because they have achieved a lot and not because they dont have any more challenges, but that they are happy in spite of the challenges that lay ahead.
For many people, happiness comes with a certain object, like the way a child is happy when they have sweets, many people feel happy when they have something that they desire. But the problem with that is our desire doesnt last very long once we have those things, once we get used to the fact that we have something, we start to want something else, and so the cycle continues. I should probably mention here that true happiness depends on you being completely free of insecurities. As long as we are thinking about what we have or do not have and how long we may or may not have it, we will always be unhappy. This is why we see billionaires seeing a psychiatrist because they are still unhappy despite having every physical possession they could ever want.
When we are not insecure from inside, we have no reason to be unhappy, really. All the gurus have said the same thing ” in all the religions of the world, and they are all fundamentally correct. The teachings of todays self help masters also focuses around that aspect. However, most of the people attending those sessions walk out temporarily motivated, and not permanently inspired to be happy. For a week or so everything will seem rosy; and then it will start wearing off. For the happiness to remain constant, the teachings should not just be put into practice, but imbibed into their regular schedules. It is not really difficult!
The first step in the right direction would be when we attend a series of sessions (not just lectures) by a coach who is genuinely happy. Find that person, and you will be doing yourself a great favor!
