There was a time when I was really unhappy and nothing was going right in my life. I had financial problems, was in the wrong job and I wasn’t in a good relationship. It seemed like nothing going right in my life and I was attracting lots of negative people and negative things in my life.
You may find you are experiencing the same problems.
I was very unhappy and not fulfilled until I found the Happiness Button inside me.
Before I share with you what the Happiness Button is and how to find it, let’s look at what Happiness is.
Happiness is a beautiful feeling. It is a state of mind and you can only find your Happiness Button inside you.
Can we buy Happiness?
We can't buy happiness, although I’m sure we have all tried doing this through buying clothes, cars, jobs, partners, houses etc. We have even thought that chocolate would make us really happy.
Can someone else give it to us?
No one can give you true happiness, because you can only find the Happiness Button inside you.
How do we know when we are truly happy?
We know when we are really happy when we feel calm and relaxed, our life is flowing and we are attracting the same into our life. We go in and out of happiness.
For many years, I always thought that once I reach my perfect blueprint for happiness, I would be happy 24/7, but that wasn’t true. We need to have a balance so that we value happiness when it comes
I remember when I was growing up, that I always felt that if I had that hairstyle, coat, shoes, dress, or whatever, I would be happy. But, do you know what happened, exactly 10 minutes after buying these things, I found that I didn’t feel happy anymore. I also, no longer valued what I had bought. I couldn’t quite understand this, that the feeling of happiness that I so clearly felt disappeared so quickly.
I also thought that if I did this course or that course I would be happy. I soon learned that as soon as I was just about to complete a course, I would be thinking of doing another one, as I thought that the next one would definitely make me happy. I would not be valuing the one that I had just completed and would begin valuing the next one and this went on for many years, until finally found what happiness is and where it comes from. Unfortunately, we can’t buy happiness. Happiness comes from within and lives in our hearts.
I believe that we experience different kinds of happiness and different levels of happiness. Unfortunately, because most of us is looking for that certain blueprint for happiness every day, anything less than that doesn’t feel like happiness. We are just experiencing a different kind and different level of happiness.
“You can find happiness inside yourself”. I heard this so many times; I read this so many times. I heard it, but wasn't quite ready to listen and to hear the true feelings and meaning behind the words.
Once I did hear and feel these words with my heart then I understood that happiness comes from within and from my heart, and that all I needed to do is open it wide and look inside and feel it.
Here are my secrets of finding the Happiness Button inside you.
1. Commit to yourself first.
2. Love and value yourself first.
3. Do everything in a loving way for yourself.
YOU, you are then able to access and, more importantly, activate your true Happiness Button inside You. The only person that can switch that button on is YOU and you are the only person to keep it switched on...how powerful is that. This button can be switched on when we begin to be kind to ourselves, loving, caring and, most of all when we are committed to ourselves 100%. Our happiness and love within then begins to grow and expand.
The beauty of switching your Happiness Button on inside, is that you can then start to radiate this wonderful happy energy that other people pick up and can feel. They are then attracted to your lovely energy and you also attract positive things into your life.
How do we keep our Happiness Button on inside?
We keep happiness by always loving ourselves and being true to ourselves
