Rules of Happiness - Love More!


“Love and kindness are never wasted. They
always make a difference. They bless the
one who receives them, and they bless you,
the giver.” – Barbara De Angelis



American spiritual master Lester Levenson was given just
days to live.

The doctors had little hope for his failing heart. But,
surviving a few days longer than expected, Lester turned to
consider what life was all really about.

He concluded that life was about happiness, freedom. These
were the things he needed to pursue.

But what granted him the most freedom and happiness in
life?


Lester instantly felt that the answer was love. And when his
many girlfriends expressed their love for him in public,
certainly he felt a wave of happiness.

Yet it was fleeting. Momentary.

Then he realised that he felt the most happy in life – when
he was the one giving the love!

The more he loved his girlfriend, the happier he became.
The more he loved the world around him, the happier he
became. The more he loved even his enemies, the happier he
became.

And best of all, HE could control the amount of love he gave
– and thereby control the amount of happiness he
experienced.

Think about it for a moment. Doesn’t that ring true for you?

Don’t you feel happier when you are loving more?

I’m not talking about the clingy, relationship love that most
people are well-aware of. But rather an open, giving, warm
love. An all-accepting love, like that of a mother for her
child, or a child for his puppy.


So, can you simply begin to love more?

For absolutely no reason at all. Just for fun. Love the whole
world more.

Love your family for being as maddening as they are. Love
the beautiful green trees around you as you take your daily
stroll. Love your friends for all of their strengths and weaknesses.
Simply, love more.

Even your enemies, or that rude guy that insulted you this
very morning. Remember, if you’d travelled in their footsteps
and had their experiences in life right to that very moment,
whatever they just did would make perfect sense to you.
Accept it, and give them a little love, because they might just
need it.

Go through everyone you know – and in your own mind,
offer them a little love. Keep that open heart as you walk
around during your day.

Because, as the Beatles suggested, love might just be all you
need.

Rules of Happiness - Appreciate Both Sides of the Coin


“You don’t know when you’ve hit a peak
until you’re coming down. And you don’t
know when you’ve hit a trough until you’re
climbing out. It’s all good” – David Brent



The world is crammed full of “opposites.”

In order to have hot, you must have cold. In order to have
light, you must also have dark. In order to have up, you must
have down.

Right? They’re opposites. One can’t really exist without the
other.

In fact, they’re actually “pairs.” Without each other, neither
can exist. It just doesn’t make sense. You can’t have up
without down.


We all understand that now.

But how many times do we try to cram our lives with
happiness – and remove every last drop of sadness?

The truth is that in order for you to experience true
happiness in your life, you must experience sadness. It’s
required. Without sadness, we really can’t even understand
what happiness is.

Yet how many of us struggle and fight against sadness when it
comes into our lives?

We think that we should ONLY be experiencing the good,
the positive, the happy. We MUST be thinking positively at
all times. And if we don’t, we blame ourselves for failing.

Is this a realistic way to live your life? Are YOU addicted to
only experiencing the “good” in life?

Are you TRULY embracing the “duality” of your life
experiences?


Remember, you cannot throw only the heads side of a coin.
The tails side always goes with it. In order to have happiness,
you must also experience sadness. If you wish, consider it a
“credit” toward future happiness.

Dolly Parton describes it much more eloquently: “If you
want the rainbow, you’ve got to put up with the rain.”

In other words, and quite simply: It’s all good.

Stop judging individual experiences, and how “good” or
“bad” they are. Just enjoy and embrace all your life adventures.
And when seemingly negative things happen,
remember that it’s just the duality of life. It’s just the other
side of the coin. It’s required. It’s part of the equation.
