3 Steps to Happiness

1. KNOW Your Truth

Knowing our Truth takes practice for most of us - because through various forms of conditioning we learned from an early age to run away from the truth – because truth can include some pain. This escaping eventually becomes so automatic that by the time we are a young adult - we are unaware of living by a “Life GPS” which actually CAUSES WORSE pain than facing our truth. When our “Life GPS” is set to results we want in the exterior world – and simultaneously to avoid pain at all cost – we get further and further away from our truth and reality - and closer and closer to suffering and insanity.

When we are out of touch with our truth – we are also vulnerable, insecure, easily emotionally disturbed and manipulated and far from knowing freedom and true happiness. All happiness derived from exterior circumstances is shallow, temporary, addictive and always illusive.

So the first step towards stable and lasting happiness - is learning to know your own truth – in each moment – from seemingly small and insignificant situations – to large pivotal life decisions. Your Truth is found inside yourself. Re-setting your “Life GPS” from results you want in the exterior world to priorities what feels true deep inside – – AT ANY emotional, relational or situational expense - can take a while - of paying close attention to your thoughts, feelings, actions – and thoroughly analyzing the motivation behind each.

2. FEEL Your Truth

Once knowing your Truth becomes automatic. You must be willing to FEEL it. The main reason you were taught to escape the Truth in the first place – was that facing it requires a willingness to feel feelings – which can be a painful and messy process. But after you have felt your Truth ONCE in ONE area of life – you will know that there is unsurpassable joy on the other side of this fire – and the burn is not only brief – it also consumes that which fuels anxiety, problems and suffering. In addition - the burn will motivate you to walk through this fire again and again and again – because there is no bigger reward or high than the freedom on the other side. Soon you will fall in love with this life style – and bow in gratitude to this process which dissolves your ego and evolves your Soul.

3. ACT on Your Truth

When you know your Truth – have felt it – and thereby allowed it to transform you – you can act on this Truth – and before you know it your entire life will blossom. Because this Truth that you find deep inside – arises from your Higher Self – AND – is the same as Thy Will Be Done.

Your willingness to reset your Life GPS to always first go inside and find out what your Higher Self has to say – while simultaneously letting all personal ego desires go – AND - WITHOUT – having the slightest expectation of an outcome in your personal favor - BUT – paradoxically and ironically – when we live by our Higher Truth – while facing the desires and fears of the person / ego - what remains of our person / ego - is never disappointed in the outcome.
