How to Live the Happiest Life Today and Onwards
Living a happier life is in store for you if you so choose it. Joy can be accessed within you, you only need to realize and engage with the Source of it, God Almighty. There is no goodness outside of the good God. Happiness emerges from the outward conditions. It is inspired by what you get, have, acquire, achieve, etc.
Happiness comes when the outward conditions are in your desired state. This means happiness is conditional and ever-fleeting as it’s depicted by what may or may not happen outside of you. Who may or may not offend you and so on.
True Happiness, which is Joy, Must Come From Within
A truly happier life is a life with joy. Happiness is an ever-fleeting emotion, while joy is a spirit that comes from the spiritual realm for your spiritual being from the Spiritual God. Living life with joy is the answer to how to live a happier life. Joy can only come from within your being; joy emerges from the inward conditions. You access joy within you, and joy comes with its friend peace because they are in the same (spiritual) environment. You don’t depend your joy and peace on what the day may or may not bring.
You only need to choose the God and Source of joy and peace and build the muscle of choosing joy and peace over anything else and therefore live a happier life. Your happiness would not be dependent on the fleeting conditions of reality. Your happiness would come from the independent (from the world) Source of joy and peace you’ll have become one with within you.
Realize the importance of quieting your inner chatter so that joy and peace can flourish and not be sabotaged by your fleeting thoughts and emotions. Achieving inner silence can be done through mindfulness practice. If you are mindful of your breath and your body (your other senses), when your mind is with your body in the present moment, you are not in the past or future and you achieve silence through mere internal observation and awareness (your spirit), and the joy and peace that is established within you can be loud. Louder than the internal chatter.
Your happiness would come from the independent Source of joy and peace you’ll have become one with within you.
This joy and peace are independent because they don’t need conditions to be favorable to experience and live in them. They are your anchors, where you reside, whether things are favorable or things are not favorable externally. For, what life is it when you depend on the world to make you happy and joyful and peaceful? This world that is filled with evil and hate? It is simply impossible for the world to accomplish this. The world is a physical world, and you are a spiritual being. The world could never be able to reach your inner (actual) spirit being.
The Importance and Power of Self-Control
Is it not your choice to choose how to live your life? To choose your way of walking in this world? God has awarded all free will. Does your life and self not belong to you? In every moment, in undesired outcomes, and even in suffering, you have the choice to choose what these things will mean and be to you. Will they break you, or will they make you an even better person through the right understanding? The reality is yours to choose, always. This doesn’t mean pain doesn’t hurt, but it can mean that pain isn’t the end of you.
As a lover of wisdom and knowledge, I read the teachings of Buddhism about suffering, and they taught me this: even in desired outcomes and happiness, there is a knowing of how an undesirable outcome can happen any second and crumble your happiness.
You may very well be anxiously happy, whether you are conscious or unconscious of this sense of impending doom. That is why I have realized that choosing joy and peace as inspired from within relieves you from the sense of impending doom as well. You no longer fear what may or may not happen. You become secure in the reality of change because you’ve anchored yourself within yourself, instead of something else like a physical possession.
Create Meaningful Experiences for Yourself
The last matter I want to address pertaining to living a happier life is experiencing boredom. Boredom may make you think you’re not happy, but I think boredom is a good sign of being in peace. If you’re bored, you’re not preoccupied by anything. Your life is a still ocean; nothing is happening, and this can be a joy and peace. It is a privilege to be bored because you are not suffering anything. You are not fighting anything but the still moment in your life.
Say you feel your marriage is boring, or your job, or being a housewife, do not destroy your life. For example, at your job, you may just need a challenge or change because being unfulfilled with your job is a different deeper story from being bored. And as a housewife or wife, don’t depend on your house duties or your husband to make you happy. Make yourself happy; choose joy. Find a hobby, find your individuality. It is your responsibility to be whole and fulfilled. Choose wisely the conditions of your life, always. It is all in your hands. It is all in choosing the Almighty Source of all goodness.
