It seems like everywhere I go I see grumpy people. Now this is not a movie with Bruce Willis in it, and I am not trying to be funny, it’s just a little sad to know that there are so many people out there that don’t know how to find true lifelong happiness in their life.
This isn’t actually a really happy old dude, it’s just the first vampire that ever existed. But hey, we all need happiness, right? Then again, how happy can he be in the sun? hmmm.
Any minute of the day that isn’t lived enjoying it, is just not the best minute you can have. I understand there are bad moments and everyone has the right to go that route, but if you have a choice, between happy and grumpy, I would like to think you would pick happy. So here are four quick ways that you can make sure picking happy is easy for you.
1) Remind Yourself That Your Family Loves You
I don’t care if your single and you haven’t seen your family in forever, they had you, they love you, and that’s an extreme case. Most people have one family member still around, brother or sister, a husband, wife, kids. What you need to know is no matter the day, those people love you. They love you the most, and even if it seems like they don’t, it’s in there. Family is forever. Family is for life, you don’t mess with family, and love is part of that.
2) Remind Yourself You Love You
If you can’t do this no one else can do it to the point where you’ll actually appreciate love. You have to love yourself and you have to get in a routine of reminding yourself that you love yourself, all day long. These can be quick reminders, it can be full on meditations sessions, the point to know is, that the love starts in your heart and what you can get back depends on what your able to give to yourself and then to others.
3) Remind Yourself That God Loves You
Your creator, your father in heaven, the person, the being, the all-powerful awesomeness, that chose for your life to be in existence, loves you. No matter what you do at any point in your life, there is nothing you can do that can make him un-love you, it’s just not possible. When you realize that he is love incarnate, then you begin to realize you always have a source of love. If you will accept it and accept him.
4) Remind Yourself You Were Put Here For More
You were put here for an awesome purpose, and that is to love the lord and carry out what his mission is for you here. Whether or not you know what your mission is chances are if you’re doing your life right, you are following along with what you were put here to do. Now I know that not as glorious as some of the websites or books out there that say “Find your passion and life will be hunky dory.”
Just living your normal life and providing for your family and being a good influence and role model to others is an absolutely wonderful purpose. I wish more people would own up to that, before trying to finds something supposedly more glamorous. Living your life as a respectable and loving Christian individual Is the best purpose, you can own up to before you try to do anything else.
Lifelong Happiness Is Coming
I hope these four ways to quickly discover true lifelong happiness and make them part of your life; help you the next time you’re looking to put that smile on and the grumpy away. As long as you can remind yourself that your family loves you, that you love yourself, and God loves you, and that you’re here for so much more, I think you’ll find it’s pretty easy to do.
