Most people are not – although they pretend to be. When others ask them how they are, they might say something like: “Great, thanks, I’m fine… However the truth is different.A major step towards a happier life is increasing awareness. Deep down, deep within you are happy, fulfilled and abundant, however you no longer feel it, because you became so identified with all your little, unimportant, mind-created problems that you lost your true nature.
Be calm, let go, let go of everything for a moment, dive within, become completely detached from your mind for a short while… Now you feel it: A glimpse of happiness, a deep peace, a strength you never experienced before. That’s who and what you really are: Happiness, love, peace, freedom. Everything else you might believe you are is only an illusion, a mind created illusion that you have mistaken for real.
Take a few moments every now and then to become aware of your true nature. Close your eyes, shut down your mind, dive within and simply observe – BE. Nothing else needs to be done. Simply being without thinking is enough. Everything else – happiness, peace, love – happens on its own.
So, that’s really simple, but it’s not easy. It will need some (or even quite a lot of) practice to move from mind-chatter to awareness and silence. Keep going within, even if it’s not always easy, or if you think nothing is happening. By the way, whenever you go within, something very positive is always happening. It’s only your mind telling you: “What’s the point? This doesn’t lead me anywhere. I don’t feel anything special…”
All you’ve ever been looking for in life is already within you and that’s the only place where it can be found. It’s impossible to fulfill your deepest yearnings on the outside. However, if you become aware of your true nature within, very nice and pleasant things will also manifest on the outside. Because the outside is nothing but a mirror of your inner convictions and identification.
Your nature is happiness and once you become aware of it and identified with it all kind of things that represent happiness will also manifest in your outer life. However, if you are not aware of your “happiness-nature”, accumulating material riches, prizes, titles, honours… won’t make you happy.
And after you’ve done all the hard work you’ll still be the some old unhappy donkey you’ve been before. You might now have a bigger house, a bigger car… but you’ll still be happy .And then you will realize, that you never really wanted all those riches, all you were looking for was happiness and fulfillment.
