What is happiness?

Since the beginning of time, great minds have debated the true key to happiness. Some say fame, others say fortune; still others search in vain for a fountain of youth.  Ours is a culture of wants and needs—and most of us convince ourselves that once we get what it is we want, we'll be happy.

Evidence to the contrary be damned—that big new house or fast car will indeed make me happy.

We've all been there—we've all coveted something at one point or another.  But of course, it's not stuff that makes us happy—that much we know.  Instead, real and lasting happiness comes from something different entirely—something elegantly simple and entirely attainable.  Happiness is within ourselves not anything relating to outside of us.

Are you depressed?

Why do people feel depressed? Depression could start out as a very mild case and could lead and end up in severe condition of being suicidal. Depression as mild as sadness could lead to unwillingliness to do and enjoy normal daily life activities . How do I know this? cause my mom suffered from depression for years untill she started working on herself and making changes through coaching. I was honored to help my mom come out of depression and live her life just the way it should be with joy and happiness.

"Our emotions are the driving force that determines the quality of our lives.  Everyone is capable of experiencing the whole range of human emotions, yet many people allow themselves to experience only a narrow range.  One person may go from feeling sad to angry to sad again, while another may go from feeling love to joy, and someone else may regularly experience fear, anxiety, and pain.  It is characteristic of western culture to believe that our emotions are outside of our control.  Most people believe that the depressed person is simply depressed, does nothing to deliberately bring on that state, and therefore cannot do anything to change it.  Similarly, the happy person simply has a happy disposition and is also not responsible for bringing on that state. 

            We seem to believe that our emotions are determined by a mysterious predisposition.  The truth is emotions do not come to us.  We go to them.  If you regularly experience anger, sadness, guilt, or fear, instead of joy, gratitude, compassion, and excitement, this is because these emotions meet certain needs within you.  Fortunately it is possible to make a conscious choice about your emotions"

"All behaviors, including emotions, consist of three parts working together: patterns of physiology and posture, patterns of mental focus, and language patterns.  In order to be depressed, a person must assume a certain posture, focus on certain specific things, and use certain specific language patterns that lead to depression.  Robbins will ask Tahnee to deliberately put herself into a state of depression so that the audience can see what patterns of physiology, focus, and language are necessary for her to feel depressed."

Did you know that forgiving is one of the roads to feeling happy?

"To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love.
In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness." -- Robert Muller

I talk to so many people on daily basis about overcoming their day-to-day life challenges as a Life Coach. Whether its about dealing with their teenage kids, couples/relationships troubles, young adults from other cultures in the US, teens and drugs, adultery and the list goes on and on.

In almost all cases I teach and help them to forgive in order to start living a happy life. It seems so difficult for people to forgive because of the way they hold on to their believe systems and values.

People hold on to those values so strictly that it actually hurts them in the long run and blocks their energy for feeling happy, if they only were to open their heart for forgiveness.

Why do we have such a difficult time forgiving? Its because no one teaches us to learn to forgive and let go of the belief system we built over the years. We want to be right about something wrong done to us. Being right is part of the ego which promotes a very unhealthy life.

"One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive everybody everything before you go to bed" -- Ann Landers

Also, when we have certain expectations from the ones we love around us, once the expectations are not delivered we hold grudge and blame, therefore forgiving becomes very difficult.

When you forgive it takes you from the place of the victim to that of a victor." -- Unknown
