Are You Happy?


I hope you're HAPPY doing exactly what you're doing right now. And if you're not, then I hope you're asking yourself - WHY?

If you're dreading going to work, hating the degree your studying or dreading the relationship you're in - I hope you have the guts to ask yourself why? Why are you unhappy?

More often than not - if not always - we become unhappy when we are forced to do something we don't want to do. We become unhappy when we realize the job we're working at isn't taking us anywhere, the degree we're pursuing isn't really what we're interested in or the partner we're with just isn't the ONE!

And when we realize we're unhappy we BLAME, GIVE EXCUSES, JUSTIFY AND COMPLAIN. That's human nature. That's how we've been programmed.

So I'm not gonna ramble on about what you shouldn't do. I'm gonna share with you what I do when I find myself in an unhappy position.

I ask myself - Why am I here? And  What can I do - NOW?

Asking myself - Why am I here? - always makes me realize that I chose to be here. At some point of time I ALLOWED someone to put me in this unhappy position or I volunteered for this position hoping for something else that clearly didn't manifest.

And when I ask myself what can I do NOW - I Give myself the POWER to do something about my unhappiness. Regardless of your environment and circumstances there is ALWAYS something you can do to take yourself out of your UNHAPPINESS. You just have to put yourself in the right state of mind. Once you understand that you have the POWER to change your environment - NOW - then you start to see things differently. Opportunities that were never there suddenly surface right in front of your eyes.

So if you catch yourself even slight UNhappy...

Ask yourself - Why am I here? and What can I do?
