How To Be Happy

Do you want to be happy and feel more fulfilled in everything you do? Do you want to know what it feels like to have a sense of purpose in your life? A guiding compass that will lead you towards everything you’ve ever wanted, regardless of what life throws at you? There are many of us who don’t get to know what living a fulfilling life truly feels like because we haven’t released what I call "our psychological and emotional 'brakes'" yet. These brakes are often times fueled by guilt — the feeling of not being worth very much. In other words, we feel worthless deep down inside. We say to ourselves, “Who am I to want to be happy, loved, and fulfilled? I don’t deserve it because I’m not good enough.” We look at others who are (or appear to be) better than us and think, “I’m not good enough.” Guilt is one of the most powerful negative phenomena that brings down the hopes of so many people in society today. And even if you’ve worked hard and found success, you feel like an imposter. You feel guilty that others will find out that deep inside, you’re not that good. You live your life with an uneasy feeling that everything is going to be taken away from you at any minute. The fact of the matter is: you deserve all the happiness and fulfillment that you can legitimately enjoy by doing something worthwhile in the world. Here are the keys to ridding yourself of guilt and releasing the brakes: Eliminate destructive criticism - Don’t say anything about yourself that you don’t want to be true. Refuse to be manipulated by guilt - When someone tries to make you feel guilty, smile and cheerfully ask them, “Are you trying to make me feel guilty?” If they are, tell them it’s not going to work. Refuse to use guilt and blame on others - Never mention a past mistake ever again to someone. Mistakes happen and life goes on. Use the Law of Forgiveness - Your ability to forgive those who have wronged you is the mark of how far you’ve come as a human. Your life only gets better when you get better.
