Have Coffee With Me

Someone asked me why does it seem like I am always “happy”? Gave that person really simple answers. I share the “answer” freely with anyone who asks. It’s not a secret. If you want to know it  too – then have coffee with me.

But if you don’t have the time to have coffee with me, let me share some thoughts with you today:

  • Always have  a care-free, relaxed, gentle smile. :)
  • Don’t be pretentious.
  • Live in the NOW.
  • Look on the bright side. These awesome world is for you as well as for your neighbours, so make the best out of all your experiences. In a situation instead of pointing out the bad things – note the good things about it.
  • Do what you want to do. Just make sure that you are not hurting yourself or anybody else in the process.
  • Don’t try to become popular. What’s the point? People can smell desperation from a mile away. If they think that you are trying too hard, they may/will want to push you around for fun just to see how far you will go.
  • Have faith in yourself.  Remember this: no one can take away your faith in yourself. If you lose faith in yourself, then why should anyone else have faith in you?
  • Worrying solves nothing – if it’s that big a deal then make a plan and fix whatever it is that is bugging you. Simple as that.
  • Keep in mind that life is way too short to care what others think. If they are low enough to criticize you then their opinion is not worth valuing.
  • If someone makes a rude gesture towards you – ignore them. It makes them look stupid. Trust me on this.
  • Replace all your worries that are about what other people think about you, with a preoccupation over your own goals, your own achievements and your progress.
  • Practice Yoga. Meditate.

So these are just some of the stuffs that I try to live everyday. Remember that happiness is not hard to find. You can actually enjoy your life and make the best out of every situation. If you are truthfully happy then other people will not be able to bring you down with their judgments. If other people are truly happy, then you will not be able to bring them down with your judgments. Do not forget that it works both ways. Remember also that experiencing happiness is the definition of success in life.

Want more? Have coffee with me.

I am wishing you all beautiful readers/stumblers of my blog:  Inner happiness. Peace of mind. Contentment. Love. Peace. Happiness. Blessings. :)

 

Blame is the Culprit

Blame – as most of us think – is the melodramatic pointing of a finger towards someone who has done something wrong. But in truth, we are actually into blame in just about every waking moment of our days. From the weather, to rude drivers, to how the toothpaste was squeezed, you know the deal. We blame and never think a thing about it. Yeah sure more times than not we are probably justified in our accusations, but so what?! There is not an ounce of well-being that can squeak through the thick negative energy of blame whether it is justified or not. In fact, the negative energy of blame is so strong and potently charged that it flows from us to others and it can cause those who are usually dependable to mess up all over the place as well. And surely sending the blame energy to someone who has been stupid, abusive, or undependable only amplifies the condition you would like to see changed. What I am trying to say is that blame always makes a bad situation worse.

Nurture an Optimist's Point of View

This is me!

In life, everyone is always filled with choices. A person may opt to have a pessimist’s view and live a self-defeated, miserable life or may also decide to take the optimist’s route and take a fulfilling and challenging life. People respond positively to optimists. So if you feel like you are losing your friends and alienating people then you should know who has the problem.

Optimists tend to focus on as well as plan for the problem or the issue at hand. We use ‘positive reinterpretation.’ In other words we are most likely to reinterpret a negative experience in a way that helps us learn and grow. Positive people are unfazed by bad situations and we perceive it is a challenge and try much harder.
