Here are Ten Rules for a Happy Life that you can start using immediately to improve your sense of happiness…
Do not depend on others
As much as possible, have confidence in yourself and do not compare yourself to others. Try not to be in need of others’ compliments to feel fulfilled. Do not mistake dependence for love. True love allows our loved ones to be free. The only force you should be depending on is the Creative Force (or God-Power or any other term you wish for the seed of Divinity) within you.
Rely on the creative force
Pursue your path, but know that along your path the Creative Force may have planned things for you which you did not expect. Accept these gifts graciously. The more open you stay on your path, the more ‘miracles’ will happen in your life.
Create harmony in your life
Step by step, and starting today, create more harmony in your everyday life. The next time somebody in your close environment – a child, partner, neighbour, or colleague – upsets you, take a deep breath and re-act with love and understanding.
Listen
Dedicate a little time each day just to yourself. Shut out the noise of the world and listen to the still small voice within. It will guide you in all that you do if you allow it to.
Be one with the creative force
Realise the strength there is in silence and enjoy the company of the Creative Force within as often as you can. This is the best thing you can ever do for yourself and the more your spiritual growth takes centre stage in your life, the more successful, happy, healthy and prosperous you will be in other areas of life.
Realise ‘The Truth’
Realise that “The Truth” simply does not exist. What is true for you and me may not necessarily be valid for somebody else. In this regard, share your ‘truth’ with others, but do not judge them for sharing and enjoying different truth.
Live from within
The more inner strength you gather and the more you become one with being alone, the more will you live from within. Outward influences will have less and less effect on you and you will instinctively make the right choices in your life.
Take obstacles as opportunities to learn
If your life would take its course without any challenges to face, there would be no learning process. The more you are willing to see obstacles as challenges from which you can learn, the easier it will be for you to overcome the so-called obstacles and see them as new opportunities for growth.
Face difficulties
Delaying the solving of difficulties results in unnecessary fuelling of energy into the problem, which will not let you rest until it is solved. Better to face it at once. The more you cultivate the habit of seeing obstacles as opportunities to learn, the less difficulties you will experience in your life.
Use your time wisely
Live each day as if it could be your last. Do not delay things you can do today, but on the other hand be aware of the relativity of time. Do not put yourself under pressure, because there is still so much you want to do. Do it one step at a time, and stay focused on what you are doing. Live in the now.
I will discuss each of these ten rules for a happy life in more detail in future posts, but right now you have enough information about each rule to start lifting yourself to a higher level of happiness. Enjoy!
