Like Elkhart Tolle's Book Title "Power Of Now" => Being Happy Lies In The NOW Factor.
The Desire For Happiness Simply Shows That You Are Not Happy Right At This Moment – Which In Turn Creates Misery. And A Miserable Being Projects That In The Future Some Time, Some Day, Some Way, He/She Will Be Happy. You Are Unhappy Today; You Project Tomorrow To Be Happy, But Tomorrow Is A Projection Of You, Of Your Today, Of Whatsoever You Are. Your Tomorrow Will Come Out Of This Unhappiness And You Will Be More Unhappy.
Of Course, Out Of More Unhappiness You Will Desire For More Happiness In The Future Again. And Then You Are In A Vicious Circle: The More Unhappy You Become, The More You Desire For Happiness; The More You Desire For Happiness, The More Unhappy You Become. Now It Is Like A Dog Chasing Its Own Tail.
That Is Why You Have To Choose TO BE HAPPY NOW – In The Present.
Then You Have To Find The Reason To Be Happy Now – It Takes Time & Practice => But Your Happiness Seldom Depends On Other People, Circumstances, Situations. It Really Depends On Your State.
NLP Says That At Any Given Time You Can Change You State. I Know For Sure That Many Of Us Suddenly Find Ourselves In A Un-Resourceful Or Negative State – Even Though We Were Perfectly Alright Moments Before.
It Happens Due To Someone Or Something Pressing An Invisible Trigger In Us.
So The Trick Is To Learn How To Anchor & Press The Positive & Powerful States Within Yourself. And Whenever You Find Yourself Slipping Into A Negative Frame Of Mind – Make Yourself Bounce Back By Pressing These Triggered Anchors.
