HAPPINESS(2)

We continue from last article's topic HAPPINESS. As i was saying, happiness habit will teach you the one basic philosophy of reacting to circumstances. You may not be able to do much about things that happens to you, but you can do very much about how you respond/react to them. Developing the happiness habit, using it unconciously, gaining the glory of happiness with it, these thing will make happiness an everyday occurrence for you. you will expect it as you expect to eat and sleep daily.
          Now, just like i said before, that the world around you will keep changing in form, shapes, states, conditions, circumstances, situations etc. All in the bid to develop you, your inner most being- your spirit man. That means that you need to change too, in your physical activities, the way you do things, your life style, infact in every aspect of your life. Do not be rigid, you cannot stand still and be happy. One of the first thing that the use of the happiness habit will bring is the destruction of an enemy of nature called rigidity i.e monotony.
                 
          Monotony can destroy your youth and bring premature ageing. The truly happy person does not find life monotonous. And a life that is filled with happiness is one in which the mental faculties are not allowed to rust. Always strive to be in the present, because time is always in the PRESENT, THE NOW. Keep your mind young by keeping your mind busy with new interest. "Is the life that is filled with happiness, filled with new interests, filled with mental activities, the life that is going to be the longest and healthiest"? the answer is yes!
  
            Maintain a healthy prayer life, meditate on good and positive thought With this kind of atitude, you will never find life monotonous. Make life simple for yourself. Love people as you will want them to love you, no matter how bad you may think they could be, still love them. Do not judge or condemn, because if you really search yourself deeply, you are not better off. Find time to become one with nature and admire the works of your creator. Admire yourself and others, because you are a part of God's work, you are a child of creation. 

             "Whosoever does right, whether male or female and is a believer, We shall make live a good life and We shall pay them a recompense in proportion to the best of what they used to do."[Surah al-Nahl:97].The phrase "good life" in the above quoted verse is the same as happy life i.e Happiness. Treat people right, do the right thing at the right time. There is a law that operates in creation which states as follows: "Only in giving, will thou receive." It means that if you give what you have, you will definitely,receive what you have given out in multiple folds. Now that you have made happiness as a daily habit, you now realize that you alone can make yourself happy. Then it does not have to end with you, what you have, you give, only then can you receive that same thing in a hundred fold. Make people around you happy, help them, put a smile on someone's face and you will be amazed how satisfying your happiness will be. This law is not applicable only to happiness alone but to virtually everything in life. Genuinely Love everything and people around you and you will be surprised how much love will be extended back at you in multiple folds. Bless and you will be blessed. Care and you will be cared for. Hate and you will be hated. Infact, in whatever you do, with what measure that you have measured, it will be measured back to you in multiple fold.

              Be content with what you have, having more will not make you a happier person. And last words; keep yourself happy and people around you.

 KEEP THE HEARTH OF THOU THOUGHT PURE, BY SO DOING YOU WILL BRING PEACE AND BE HAPPY!
