William
James,
father of American psychology, said that the greatest discovery of the
nineteenth century was not in the realm of physical science. The greatest
discovery was the power of the subconscious touched by faith. In every
human being is that limitless reservoir of power that can overcome any problem
in the world.
True
and lasting happiness will come into your life the day you get clear
realization that you can overcome any weakness – the day you realize that your
subconscious can solve your problems, heal your body and prosper you beyond
your fondest dream.
You
may have been happy when you became
engaged to the partner of your dreams. You may have felt happy when you
educated from college, when you get married, when your child was born, or when
you won a great victory or a prize. You could go on and list other experiences
that have made you happy. However no matter how marvelous these experiences
are, they do not give you the real
lasting happiness. They are transitory.
The
book of proverbs gives the answer :
Whoever
trusteth in the Lord, happy is he. When you trust in the Lord (the
power and wisdom of your subconscious mind) to lead, guide, govern and direct
all your ways, you will become poised, serene, and relaxed. As you radiate
love, peace, and goodwill to all, you will really building a superstructure of
happiness for all the days of your life.
YOU
MUST CHOOSE HAPPINESS :
Happiness
is a state of mind. There is a phrase in the Bible that says, Choose ye
this day whom ye will serve. You have the freedom to choose happiness.
This may seem extraordinarily simple, and it is. Perhaps this is why people
stumble on the way to happiness : they do not see the simplicity of the key to
happiness. The great things of life are simple, dynamic, and creative. They
produce well-being and happiness.
St.
Paul reveals to you how you can think your way into a life of dynamic power and
happiness in these words :
Finally
brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things.
HOW
TO CHOOSE HAPPINESS
Begin
now to choose happiness. This is how you do it : When you open your eyes in the
morning, say to yourself,
“Divine
order takes charge of my life today and every day. All things work together for
good for me today. This is a new and wonderful day for me. There will never be
another day like this one. I am divinely guided all day long, and what-ever I
do will prosper. Divine love surrounds me, enfolds me and enwraps me, and I go
forth in peace.
Whenever
my attention wanders away from that which is good and constructive, I will
immediately bring it back to the contemplation of that which is lovely and of
good report. I am spiritual and mental magnet attracting to myself all things
that bless and prosper me. I am going to be a wonderful success in all my undertakings
today. I am definitely going to be happy all day long. “
Start
each day in this manner; then you will be choosing happiness, and you will be a
radiant joyous person.
Begin
to realize that the world you live in is determined largely by what goes on in
your mind. Marcus Aurelius, the great Roman philosopher and sage, said, “A
man’s life is what his thoughts make of it.” The leading philosopher of
nineteenth century Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “A man is what he thinks
all day long.”
Make
certain that you do not indulge in negative thoughts, defeatist thoughts, or
unkind, depressing thoughts. Recall frequently to your mind that you can
experience nothing outside your own mentality.
THE
HAPPIEST PEOPLE
The
happiest person is the one who constantly brings forth and practices what is
best in himself or herself. Happiness and virtue complement each other. Not
only are the best the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best in the
art of living life successfully. God is the highest and best in you. Express
more of God’s love, light, truth, and beauty, and you will become one of the
happiest persons in the world today.
There
is but one way to tranquility of mind and happiness; let this, therefore, be
always ready at hand with thee, both when thou wakest early in the morning and
all the day long, and when thou goest
late to sleep, to account no external things thine own, but commit all these to
God.
Yes,
the happiest person is the one who brings forth the highest and the best in
himself or herself. God is the highest and the best in him or her, for the
kingdom of God is within.
