Secrets of Spiritual Happiness
Enjoy Being You
How great you are, and how great your life is. Open the windows, take a brisk walk, breathe deeply, and relish the most basic and beautiful experience of being alive. Even if you have a challenging life, make a decision to appreciate yourself, and to fully enjoy being you, with all that entails.
Don't wait for other people to appreciate you first - it rarely works that way. If your happiness and self-worth are dependent on what others think of you, well then, you're in a precarious position, aren't you? Simply decide that you are wonderful, faults and all. Stand by yourself with love, and from there, you'll also be better able to make positive changes and improvements in your character, actions, and life circumstances.
Consider how you feel when looking at someone you have a crush on, or with whom you're falling in love. Even their faults are cute - at least for a while. You may love the way they play with their hair, or the way they walk, talk, or dance. You may like the way their mouth moves when they're thinking, or how they get quiet when their heart is touched. Or if you have a child, you may delight in how they behave a bit mischievously at times, or how they are curious and like to get into things. You may see the sun reflecting on your child's hair, and think that this must be the perfect angel of God sent down to bless you - at least during the best moments.
Well, you can also love yourself this way. You can appreciate yourself, have a crush on yourself, and view yourself with loving eyes. You can learn to chuckle away your shortcomings, and to find positive interpretations for how your lacks may be helping you to grow, or perhaps for how they may be helping others to grow. You can love being you, just as you are, while still striving to grow into an even greater image of possibility. You can notice the styles you like, and appreciate your individual taste and way of being.
Many times, we may find it easier to focus on someone else's life than our own, so this secret of spiritual happiness is asking us to also pay attention to ourselves, in a positive way.
This doesn't mean that you have to become an egotistical narcissist. People may be afraid of being criticized for paying attention to themselves, because they don't want to be judged as self-absorbed. Certain "political correctness police" seem to think that you should never talk about yourself or think too well or too often about yourself. However, don't let their judgments deter you from focusing on yourself in the right way.
After all, if there is one thing you've got in this world, it's you. You are the divine light of creation, shining through as a very interesting tale - the story of your life. Whether you choose to share your story publicly with others, at least you can read and enjoy your own story.
Relish being whoever you are, and you'll find
contentment and spiritual happiness in every moment.
