To be, do, have

Let us consider for a short while the order of the things in our life.

1.We do things in order 

2. to have more and if we have more we expect to 

3. be happy

This leads to the belief, the more we do, the faster we will have enough to be happy.

 

The other day, I encountered a man proposing a different approach:

1. First choose to be happy

2. Then in this happy mood do the things that need to be done

3 The things we want to have, will flow to us if we do things in a wonderful way.

BE first!

 

May seem a bit wishy-washy, but I if we give it some deep thought, it may be worth to consider. 

Choosing to be happy is the thing that makes us  a bit uncomfortable. If we can easily choose to be happy, why so few us make that choice and how to make the choice and be effectively happy?

 

The two key elements of a choice to be happy lie in choosing gratitude and forgiveness

If we manage to look for the peaceful, beautiful, kind and creative things in our life, it will be easy to experience a grateful heart. If on top of that we throw away the long term grudges against people who were imperfect human beings just like all of us, we will be able to choose effectively a happy mood. 

 

Then do the things in a state of flow with great imagination and a happy mood and the rewards in terms of more happiness and even material wealth will freely flow...
