The Art of Being Happy

Happiness is a learned skilled. The only things in life that we can control, are our thoughts. It is difficult to do, but we can master it. We can make it a habit. Imagine making happiness a habit.

The first step is calmness. The second step is taking the calmness to serenity. Happiness follows naturally.

To get to that state, we must practice pushing out the negative and relaxing the body. Meditation is excellent for this, but exercise works as well. Music also soothes the savage breast.

Once we are calm and the body is relaxed, we can actually feel the serenity as a state of mental and physical relaxation. When the mind is free from the angry rambunctious dogs of anxiety, happiness will follow. One last thought -- Happiness is not getting what you want -- it is wanting what you have.
