Sustained Happiness Only Happens When You Truly Believe The Future Is Happy
You can be happy today. You can be unhappy today. The goal is to have more happy days than unhappy days. Easy to say - hard to achieve. I believe if you follow the messages I put out there in my blogs, you will find the happiness you seek.
The trick is to be able to hold on to that happiness once you get there. Most of my clients eventually reach their goal of happiness. It takes a lot of time and work on their part. Some take a few months and some take almost a year. The difference is their starting point, how willing they are to change habits that have been ingrained in them for their entire life, the amount of risk they are willing to take, the strength to let anger, frustration and hatred leave their body and the effort to step back, before they act, and say to themselves: "is what I'm doing or about to do leading to my goal of happiness."
After my clients climb up that steep mountain and begin to "see" the happiness that's available to them, they begin to believe they deserve that happiness and that they are in control of their happiness. Once that happens, I've done my work for the moment. However, because the problems they started with are so deep routed and strong, all of my clients come back to me when shit happens and they forgot how to use all the tools I've give them.
There is nothing wrong when that happens. I expected it and help them through it. After reinforcing the tools they have in their bag, they are able to go back to their happiness with more knowledge about themselves than they had before. The intervals get longer the more times they find themselves calling me. I have clients that I don't hear from for over a year. They keep getting stronger, are in control of their happiness and don't need me for reinforcements.
It's a fabulous feeling on my part to either never hear from them again or to get a call just to say hello and see how I'm doing. Being a Mentor is very fulfilling for me for two reasons. One, it feels great when I've help someone find happiness. Two, by giving them tools, I'm reminding myself what it feels like to be struggling with the happiness that had past me by for many, many years.
Yes, I to fall off the turnip truck when shit happens and need to recharge. Helping my clients helps "ME" recharge.
Sooo, how do you ever reach a point when happiness is constant in your life? I've given a lot of thought about this and here are the elements I've come up with:
"Sustained Happiness Only Happens When You Truly Believe The Future Is Happy."
"Sustained Happiness Only Happens When You Truly Believe That If Problem(s) Come Up In The Future, You will Have The Happiness Tools To Get Through The Problem(s) Quickly And Get Back To The Happiness You Deserve."
The operative words are "Truly Believe." We all want to believe. We all hope the happiness will continue. We hope no barriers to happiness will get in our way. But, all of that is wishful thinking. It's not practical to think shit won't happen in the future. However, if you "Truly Believe" that should the shit happen you will recover quickly, then you can truly believe that the future is going to be a happy one.
I believe I'm at that stage in my life. I believe my wife is at that stage in her life. I believe some of my clients are at that stage in their life. The question you have to ask yourself is: "are "you" at that stage in your life." If the answer is yes, you will live longer, love longer, and get all the greatness the Universe has to offer you.
If your answer is no or I don't believe so, keep working at it. Keep reading my blogs. Read my books. See a Mentor. Take charge of your happiness by doing all you can do to get yourself to the point where you are able to sustain happiness in your life.
I wish the world would understand that until everyone has achieved this goal, negative energy will continue to rule. We might not be able to change the entire world, but we can change ourselves.
