Can you find your Happy place?

In the last post i wrote about true happiness and what I think is the broken western system of happiness.  To have things is not the true path to happiness.  Well today i wanna talk about one thing that i think can bring happiness and why i believe that it is a cornerstone of a true happy life.  

I truly believe that gratitude is a cornerstone of a truly happy life.  Gratitude is the key to seeing things in a different lens then what the world teaches.  When you truly look around you will not see what you don't have but what you do.  In america we have so many blessings that we over look and wish for the next best thing.  That type of happiness that will never be obtained because you will always be seeking the next thing.  I am a firm believer that when we start looking at what we do have and being thankful for those things that the things we can be thankful for multiple.  This is the simple law of attraction.  When we focus on what we do want then the universe gives us more of that.  This is one of the basic laws of the universe.  when you are around positive people your life becomes more positive by default because you stop looking at what is wrong and look at what is right.  i think this is one of the most beautiful things in the universe.  We can simple be ourselves and look at the positive things in our lives and we will see more of them.  

This Function ,however, can not be achieved over night because we were not taught to think about the wrong things over night.  It is a lifetime of the society teaching us these things. One of the simple things i have learned to do is to keep a gratitude journal. This is easy very easy to keep.  Every night before you lay your head down on your pillow just write down 3 things you are thankful for from that day.  Then take one positive interaction and write about it in length.  Go though the action bit by bit and break it do.  this will release your intention to live a happier life you into the ether of the universe.  Then take it s step further tell the people in your life you are thankful for them.  Having gratitude for someone and not telling them is like have a car with no gas.  You have to tell people how you feel for them to know it.  

Also a great app for the iphone that i have been using it the happier app.  It lets you share your happy moments with others.  

Thank you again for taking your time to read my blog and what i believe can truly help you in life.  May you steps in life be guided by your hearts desires.
