Wondering about how to be happy is not something all of us do each day. In fact, there are quite a few times through out our day when we are very happy! But the happiness we are talking about here is the more enduring one " not something which is fleeting and comes and goes with situations in our life. And no, we are not heading the spiritual way, though that is one of the most popular methods for happiness.

If you were to look at someone who is truly happy, you would see that they are happy in spite of challenges, rather than happy because they have no challenges. They will want to embrace whatever is coming their way rather than worry about it.

For many people, happiness comes with a certain object, like the way a child is happy when they have sweets, many people feel happy when they have something that they desire. But the problem with that is our desire doesnt last very long once we have those things, once we get used to the fact that we have something, we start to want something else, and so the cycle continues. I should probably mention here that true happiness depends on you being completely free of insecurities. As long as we are thinking about what we have or do not have and how long we may or may not have it, we will always be unhappy. This is why we see billionaires seeing a psychiatrist because they are still unhappy despite having every physical possession they could ever want.

When we are not insecure on the inside, there is no real reason to be unhappy. All of the self-help gurus and all of the worlds religions say the same thing and they are all fundamentally correct. However, many people attend these self-help sessions and come away temporarily motivated to be happy, but after a week or so the feeling wears off and they end up back where they started. The way to true happiness is not to simply practice the teachings of self-help gurus whenever you can, but to incorporate them into everything you do, and if you have the right mentor for that, it really isnt that difficult.

The first step is to attend a series of interactive sessions (not just lectures) run by a coach who is truly and genuinely happy, and in doing so you will do yourself a huge favour.
