Happiness


Happiness is the pre-requisite to a healthy, mature, loving relationship with God.

The unhappy reach to God in want, not in love and celebration, making theirs a conditional, need based supplication teetering from hope to despair, often questioning and mostly dissatisfied.

To be happy is in our own hands – to a very large extent, if not entirely, and the basic simple, steps to happiness are:

1. Physical Fitness: healthy, fit body to afford and enjoy what we want most

2. Intellectual Refinement: open, trained mind equipped to adapt to and accept reality and change

3. Financial Independence: essential self respect and dignity tools that elevate life from survival to living it up

4. Emotional Satisfaction: secure bonds of faith where love is born and nurtured and adversities handled with equanimity.

So BE happy.

It is in your hands. It’s in your head. It’s in your grasp.

Work very hard at it, and when dealing with Emotional Satisfaction work gently, giving more than you expect to receive because it all comes back manifold, and if it doesn’t then it’s a wasted emotion with wrong person(s).

When you hit the peak of all 4 you will be real close to seeing God.
