Discover Your True Happiness

At some point in our lives many of us ask that age—old question: "Why am I here? What am I supposed to be doing that I'm not doing?" Maybe you haven't asked yourself that question. Maybe you just feel like you're not getting the most out of life or that it's become routine—possibly even boring.

The reason why this happens is because you're not following your passion—or you haven't discovered what makes you happy.

Every one of us has a different description on what happiness is. They may be similar—but the way we go about it, the benefits we get from it and ultimately the true nature of that happiness is different. When you are not happy you end up being restless, agitated, bored and frustrated. Why is it that some people seem to have such a good time with life—they're successful, in happy relationships, comfortable yet not bored? Why? Ask any of them and they'll tell you—they do what they love—they follow what makes them happy.

If you find that you're just not enjoying life or feel that you're not getting the most out of life you may not be on the right track anymore. You are not happy. Let me explain something about "being happy."

By this I mean following your passion. Of course in order to do this you first need to know what your passion or what makes you happy. This passion will change at different points of your life. That is—your passion today will likely be different than it was 10 years ago. That's okay—it's actually a good thing. It's a sign of growth—and growth is good—now you might say:

"Well, how am I supposed to know what my makes me happy or how do I know if it's changed?" I'm about to help you resolve this.

The first step is to understand and accept that you can be happy. That you do have a passion that you can follow. That your passion and what you enjoy will allow you to live a happy fulfilled life.

Why?

Because when you follow your passion, your spirit, or your higher self, or that part of you that is not tied to the ego—is in control. It is happy and doing what it was meant to do.. When this happens—that higher part of yourself—that part that we do not scientifically understand but we know exists—begins to connect with the universe on a deeper level.

When it does this it brings together the people and events necessary for you to enjoy your life. I know what you're going to say: "Yeah, but I don't know what makes me happy. What am I supposed to do?"

Don't worry—you're actually half way home. The mere fact that you understand you have to be happy and that you recognize your need to follow it is an incredibly positive step. In the next article of this series, we will look at how you harness the power of your subconscious mind to guide you.
