My discoveries and trails to find answer to be HAPPY :)

“Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence” – Aristotle

 Happiness is a skill you can learn and practice the rest of your life.  Whether you drive from happiness, pursuit happiness, or simply grow happiness right under your feet, you can draw from many sources to help you on your journey.

 Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others’ approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.  – Lao Tsu

 It all begins with one thought, one word, one step and continues with the next.  How you speak to yourself can make all the difference in the world.  If you tell yourself scary stories, you’ll stay small, contracted, and unfulfilled.  So start telling yourself a new story using your favourite phrases from the list below.

1. I listen to my inner voice, my intuition, and my own direct experience.
2. I take joy in every positive step I take.
3. I know my life is a miracle. I respect it like a precious gem.
4. My “failures” are stepping stones to success, when I see them in a positive light.
5. I value myself. I value my mind, my emotions, my body, and my spirit.
6. Low self-esteem is an old story I’m no longer willing to tell myself.
7. It’s okay to make mistakes. I’m human!  I still love and appreciate myself.
8. I’m a whiz at navigating bumps in the road.
9. I’m grateful for bumps in the road, they help me steer in the best direction.
10. Small steps build my confidence. I’ll take a small step toward one of my goals, today.
11. I frequently remember my successes in full technicolor.
12. I believe in myself. I’m excited about my talents, gifts, and qualities.
13. I accept my weaknesses with spaciousness, humor, and ease. They do not detract from my confidence.
14. I don’t have to be perfect to be confident.
15. I’m unique. I don’t compare myself to others.
16. I am enough. I do enough, I have enough.
17. I’m in charge of my life. I make the best possible decisions for myself based on what I know in the present moment.
18. This is my life. This life belongs to me.
19. I distinguish clearly between what I need to accept and what I can change.
20. I do my best. At the same time, I know I’m not necessarily in control of the outcome. I won’t lose my confidence if things don’t go my way.
21. I’m always guided on my path. Guidance comes to me easily when I quiet my mind and listen.

Use a selection of these “mantras” every day.  Write them on post-it notes and place them in visible spots throughout your home and workplace (if the latter is appropriate).  Write them in your journal or on index cards that you can carry with you and look at each day.  Record them and play them back to yourself.
