Who Says You Can't Be Happy All The Time?

Who says you can’t be happy all the time?

Have you ever considered why you work so hard? It’s true you live between the hope of abundance and the fear of lack, but isn’t the deeper reason, so that you can build a happy life for you and your loved ones?

The drive for happiness is behind almost every action you take.

Unfortunately, to get to happiness you often end up doing many things you’d rather not do, and you suffer enormous stresses in the process. You consume your energy, time, and money, all in hopes of finding that elusive state of genuine lasting happiness.

For all your effort, happiness remains elusive. It needs coaxing out, and sometimes when you think you finally have it, it slips away silently.

Why You’re Not As Happy As You Could Be

Did you know that over a billion (1,000,000,000) people in this world aren’t as happy as they could be? That staggering number has nothing to do with living in a third-world country either.

Here’s the reason…

Do you remember your parents teaching you the methods for creating happiness? What about all those hours your teachers spent teaching you the precise actions needed to become happy? Doesn’t sound familiar, does it?

The irony of education is that it was meant to give you tools for living well, yet no one taught us happiness skills. We spent years in school studying subjects we ended up never using, yet not one minute was spent learning the methods for creating happiness. The very skill we could use every day of our lives isn’t even taught!

What an incredible oversight!

Instead, you’ve had to muddle through, learning by trial and error—lots and lots of error. You’ve also learned many myths about happiness from peers, customs, advertising, and clever quotations…almost all of it worthless hearsay.

Advertisers, for example, would have you buy every single product with their solemn promise that each one will bring you greater happiness. They show you smiling people as a result of time savings, cost reduction, excitement, sex, greedy consumption, rainbows, sunshine…all the usual tricks. Ridiculous! Your wise inner-self knows these to be purely illusions. It’s no wonder most advertising is so ineffective. People have been disappointed so often that they’ve become very skeptical of advertising claims, and rightly so!

Happiness Knowledge

However, there is such a thing as “happiness knowledge”—a very special kind of knowledge that tells you exactly how to create genuine lasting happiness.

Happiness knowledge doesn’t have all the glitz and glamour of those glossy advertisements, for it is a quiet kind of knowledge that has no need of gimmicks. It won’t dazzle your eyes or hypnotize your senses. It won’t delude you into believing that you’ll become happier when you own Product X.

Happiness knowledge deals with very simple things:

How you can think in certain ways, and act in certain ways to cause the natural core of your being to light up.
