And that's why he
wrote his article about how to live in blissful happiness.
In it he explains
how to achieve happiness - smile, be patient, and trust in the cycle of happiness
- and I'm not going to disagree with him.
Not feeling the need to disagree
with people is an art of happiness (maybe?).
Anyway, happiness is
important and something we all strive for.
(Misery - or boredom, as some
would have the opposite of happiness to be - does not need to be sought after
it seems: it's naturally everywhere! Alas.)
And I think Michael gives us
all food for thought.
(Thank you, Mr. Lee.)
What
I say...
What is this so-called art of happiness? Is it discovering true
happiness or the keys to happiness? And what do these expressions mean:
"The basic thing
is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly
comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental
attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy."
-- The Dalai Lama
Or is it being able to create a thought-provoking video
and put it on YouTube?
Personally, I think that it's being able to ask lots of
questions about happiness
without necessarily being able to answer them! Ha ha.
Actually I do not
believe it's the pursuit
of happiness (that is not my definition
of happiness) - there's one answer for you! I believe that happiness just
is, that you simply allow yourself to be happy (the opposite is to refuse
to accept the world as it is, and to always be wanting (a dreaded word) more!)
So,
I think happiness is a state of being - being: that is the definition
of happiness. (I'm sure Eckhart Tolle and the other self-help
gurus would agree.)
The Art of Happiness - How
to Live In Blissful Happiness
What Michael Lee has to say...
Every
human being has a desire to feel happy. It is your birthright. Living and knowing
the art of happiness is what life is all about. Happiness is a gift that we
feel. The art of happiness is understood as a great deed which eventually leads
us to a positive behavior.
The art of happiness is based on the most fundamental
attitude in your subconscious mind towards life, and that is "you love life."
This great depth of feeling of love for life is similar to the solid foundation
of a steady house; it is a person's most basic emotional framework.
Happiness
is too often taken for granted. You ask why others feel great, while you don't.
You ask why they see the good side of life and only hear the good news, while
you don't. You can learn the art of happiness by adopting a repetition of skills
that leads you to positive thoughts and boosts your well-being.
When we
were born, our minds are empty barrels waiting to be filled with memories, ideas,
beliefs, attitudes, and perspectives. We cry after taking our first breath and
that is the moment we start doing the art of happiness.
We strive to reach
the shining moments of our lives and take advantage of every opportunity to be
happy. But there are times when we have to realize we can't have it all.
We
learn the art of happiness by learning how to wait. That is when we use our coping
skills and techniques to use our positive experiences in bridging the gaps to
our own happiness
Take Vitamin S - Smile, to master the art of happiness.
This special kind of magic takes away depression. Don't forget to store your wonderful
emotional experiences, as these eventually make you realize what made you feel
better, how to let go of hurt, and how to make more positive experiences to happen.
Happiness is a cycle; the chance keeps coming back, and it's up to you
to choose happiness in the end.
