A HIGER LEVEL OF HAPPINESS

by Carol Giannantonio

Are you happy? Big question and the answer to that question is based on your view of happiness. Some of us associate happiness with reaching a career or financial goal, living in a prestigious neighborhood, driving a fancy car, or taking lavish vacations. The list of material things can go on and on. These are material achievements.

Once achieved the feeling of happiness is short lived. Some of us continue in the same maze- wanting more material things thirsting for happiness. If this is path you are on or the maze you are in, it will never bring you inner peace and a higher level happiness every day of your life.

Our minds and body can only take us so far. Our spirit can lead us all the way home and that is where the true happiness lies. The great thing about life is that it is not so much where we are standing; it's in what direction we are moving.

Take a moment of silence, hear the quiet and look at the direction you are going. Think about the journey you are on. Is it where you want to be. If not make the changes you need to find happiness. Ture Happiness is in the journey, not the destination.

Here are some questions to ask yourself to get unstuck and started on your journey to a higher level happiness and your higher self. For your higher self is who you really are.

You will find your higher self and happiness by looking into your heart and soul and listening to what it is saying. For there lies your answer to who you really are. Yes it takes courage to do this, but the risk you take brings the best reward- happiness.

Here are some questions your can ask yourself to get you started on finding a higher level of happiness and your true self.

Points to Ponder:

1 Are you embracing life and celebrating the future?

2. Do you feel connected with the universe and on the path to your higher self? The real voyage of discovery, success and happiness consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.

3. Where do you stand? It is not so much where you stand, it is in the direction you are going. You are the navigator and the driver. It is never too late to change your path.

4. Do you love life? I have found that if you love life, it will love you back. Give it a try

5. How are you searching for happiness? Your diamonds are not in distant mountains or far off seas; they are in your own backyard. All you need is to dig for them- Start digging- the deeper you go the better.

When we view happiness as living our life in the moment, doing what we love, practicing gratitude, being true to ourselves, not taking things personally, speaking and acting with kindness, making no assumptions and doing our best. The basis of the book The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz. Our lives are filled with a higher level of happiness everyday.

Our body and our minds can take us only so far: Our spirit can lead us all the way Home. Susan Jeffers
