The Secret To Happiness In One Word

 We live in the era of the thirty-second sound bite. None of us have time to go too deeply into very much, and so style often counts for more than substance.

The problem is that we often misunderstand or misinterpret the sound bite because we do not have all the information that supports the conclusion. The conclusion is like a tabletop. Without knowing the assumptions, which support it as the legs support a table, you won’t get the full meaning.

The full meaning allows you to use the belief. You can use, adapt or discard it to best serve you… rather than being trapped. And ultimately beliefs are just tools. None are inherently any more true than another. They depend on the perspective we look from and where we are at this moment in time.

So in the chapters up to now I have given you as much information and perspectives I can, without personally speaking to you, to support this conclusion.

Happiness is…

Freedom.

That’s really all happiness is about. Think about it. What makes you unhappy?

Analyse it down to it’s root and you’ll discover in some way it is about feeling trapped.

   Sometimes it’s feeling trapped by a lack of money.

   Sometimes it’s feeling trapped in a relationship.

   Or trapped in behaving a certain way for fear of the reaction of others.
  
   Trapped in a job.
 
   Stuck in a situation.

In a million different ways we bind ourselves up in the rules. We get hung up on a set way for things to be done and then make ourselves miserable.

We are only bound and trapped in our thoughts. Change your thoughts, be open to new possibilities… then freedom and happiness are yours.

Every unhappiness is created only by ourselves. And the thing that perpetuates that unhappiness is our attempts at justifying and rationalising our unhappiness.
 
Be Open…

Be Free…

Be You…

Be Happy.
