Choose Happiness III

Choose to get help in ordeer to have happiness. If happiness is never part of your life, if you have more depression than joy, if it is almost impossible for you to experience happiness, then it is likely that something in your life is holding you back. Rather than remain in an unahppy, perssimistic state, speak to your pastor or seek out a counselor who can help you locate the problem and guide on into happiness.

One study of 4,000 respondents revealed that counseling was highly beneficial for problem such as depression, phobias, and stress. Nearly nine out of ten respondents indicated that their conditions improved significantly after counseling. In fact, 44 percent of those who entered therapy-people who had previously reported that they were in “very poor” emotional states and made statements like “I barely manage to deal with things” – said they felt much better after treatment.

Finally, choose to be happy now. Don’t fall into trap of putting happiness on hold. Too many people ignore the present and expect to be happy something in the future-when they get the promotion, find true love, earn a large income, attain great professional success, or achieve some other goal. That approach will most likely result in disappointment. Happiness does not operate on a future schedule. The right time to be happy is now.  

Choose Happiness II

Choose to practice being happy. Remind yourself that your are a  happy person. Identify yourself to others as being a happy individual. Smile often. Greet friends with warmth and strangers with kindness. Practice giving thanks  daily and even hourly for the many happinesses that are yours, such as the gift of being alive, watching the sun rise, living in a comfortable dwelling place, completing a demanding project, enjoying the love of family and friends, having  a work that provides you with financial resources, and so forth. Remember that happiness is not the attainment of what you want but the realization of how much you already have.

Choose to make someone else happy. “The joy that you give to others is the joy that come back to you,” wrote  poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Behind that statement is this simple but profound truth. Our happiness is magnified when we got out of our way to make someone else happy.

Choose to examine your expectations. “Many people are chronically unhappy because their expectations are unrealistic,” says Dr. Bobbi Sommer, author of Psycho-Cybernetics 2000. Don’t delude yourself that youcan ward off unhappiness in all situations all the time. There’s no such thing as permanent, uninterrupted happiness. The important thing is to learn to accept setbacks without thinking of them as permanent conditions.”

Choose Happiness

Happines is a choice. We can choose to feel defeated and despondent over life circumstances, or we can choose to be hopeful and happy.

Choose to live a sincere spiritual life. Scripture reminds us that ultimately, happiness is a spiritual experience grounded in our relationship to God. The psalmist wrote: “Happy are those who reject the advice of evil men, who do not follow the example of sinners.” Happy are people whose God is the Lord.” Consider also the wisdom in this advice from Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the great 19th-century British peacher: “Have you heart right with Christ, and he will visit you often, and turn… meals into sacrament homes into temples, and earth into heaven.”

Choose to be happy in spite of problem. No one lives a life that is free from problems. Hard times and happiness are not mutually exclusive. Remind yourself that at any moment in life you have the option to choose happines. Then make a commitment to contentment no matter what your external circumtances may  be. Often the greatest happiness and the deepest joy flow from the lives of people who have troubles and who triump over them through sheer determination and preserverance.

Dental Implant

I remember one of my friends saying, “My husband may not be the best looking man in the world but when he smiles girl he is sunshine, he makes my world.” How important is a smile to looks? They said that when you smile you would look healthier. True, but when you lost you teeth, your smile may look funny. It is always best to smile with your teeth on. Your smile makes your whole life.

One lady received a mail from a long distance friend who requested her to send a picture. The problem was that the lady lost few of her upper front teeth. The lady wondered what to do. Being idealistic she took a bud of rose posed as if she smells the flower. There goes the shutter for picture perfect moment.  The photograph was good but she never felt confident with her smile.

Playing Guitar

My in-laws were very much into music. My husband once relates that his mom had bought them 4 guitars and hang it at the living room for them to learn to play the guitar at there own will anytime they want. But none of them found the interest in playing the instrument maybe because mom and dad did not hire a private tutor to teach them how to play it. The case was that, should they desire to play it, they have to look for a friend to teach them how to play guitar. Nevertheless, though none of them became instrumentalist, all of them turned out to be musicians. They all can sing. They developed good voices and they are into choir and a cappella groups.

As parents one of our duties is to train and to expose our children to activities that would develop their personality. We should be looking for one that would help our children boost self-confidence such as getting them to music class and get them to develop some talents. Parent should be guiding their children to a successful life. Some of our kids may have not discovered yet their talents and so parent may have to make the first move of getting them to learn things such as bringing them to music schools and get them to play instruments such as the guitar.

The guitar might be one of the most challenging instruments that our children may learn to play. Parent may look for guitar lessons for kids that are simply good and affordable. As our kids develops their talents in music they also develops their intellects as it has been proven by numerous studies that children who are into music have good reasoning ability and are most likely to excel in academics. Since music is the language of the soul as they say, then kids who plays good music plays a melodious souls. So get kids to music now and start it with a guitar.

Make Kindness A Habit

Make kindness a priority in your life. Commit yourself to act kindly and to speak kindly. Be guided by this reminder from British clergyman Ian Maclaren: “Be kind; everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

Avoid the two Ds of inaction. Don’t delay or deny an opportunity to be kind. Act kindly whenever possible as soon as possible.

Be kind to an enemy. Most of us can find ways to be kind to family members, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and even strangers. Perhaps the greatest test of our kindness is whether or not we can be kind to those who have hurt us by their words or deeds.

Turn you pain into another’s gain. The sad experiences in our lives should make us better, not bitter, people. Let your pain motivate you to treat others more compassionately.

Remember that someone needs your kindness today. It may be a child who needs a word of encouragement, a spouse who needs your praise, a stranger who needs the cheer of your smile, or a work colleague who needs you to listen and understand. The opportunities for daily kindness are as close as the air you breathe.

Purchasing a car is previously perceived as luxury rather than necessity. In this fast pace world we need a medium that would help us sync with the environment where we are moving.

What is Intimacy

Intimacyis the end product of the time and effort given by a couple who want to remain in love with each other for a lifetime. When a couple attains true intimacy, their marriage will become the most meaningful and interesting relationshipon earth. The most passionate love novel couldn’t hold a candle to what this couple shares.

Intimacy progress through several stages. When you meet a person for the first time, you go from the stranger to acquaintance stage. From thee basic levels, you may progress to friendship or even close friendship. At this point, it’s possible to move into intimacy. But intimacy is not achieved overnight. It develops over a period of time as two people relate to each other in an atmosphere of caring and warmth. We can thus define an intimate relationship as one in which trust and honesty are evident in an atmosphere where both parties do not fear undue criticism of their thoughts, feelings, and worries.

Other expression that might describe an intimate relationship would include the following: caring, sharing, getting to know each other, a giving of oneself, satisfying the other person’s needs, telling the other person things you’ve never told anyone else before, openness. When you achieve this kind of nonsexual closeness with a partner, you have reached the highest level of intimacy.
