What stage of your happiness are you right now? Let‘s find out.
More and more people waking up and taking charge of their life. Probably you are one of them. You made a decision and even made a move. You are an Entrepreneur, Freelancer or already a successful business owner.
But are you happy? What stage of happiness do you need to improve to get there? You are really trying hard but nothing works. You are feeding yourself with positive talks, watching motivational videos, listening best authors… you know exactly what to do and you are not happy.
Many of us starting with a great, inspiring and big vision. We create new goals for ourselves and keep thinking that when we get there we will be happy. So we keep trying, work harder, keep pushing but…
… no matter what you do, you are not getting results or if you get results you are not happy and keep chasing another one so that the same cycle can begin again. Isn’t it exhausting? Gosh, I know, tell me about it. I have been there too.
What to do in this case?
Stop trying so hard to be happy and just be happy. Practicing gratitude is the best way to really appreciate what you already have. Right here at this moment. Just be honest with yourself right now. No matter how bad things are or your current situation is, you are alive, breathing and have some people around you. So practice and be grateful for each day you have and what you have.
But do not fool yourself or shut down your emotions or your huger for more. If you know that something is missing in your life, especially if it is in your power, then change it. Do it NOW. Do what is important to you!
Honesty with yourself
The most important thing is to be true to yourself. Do not fight it anymore. Accept yourself that you want something more, you need something different or that things can be different for you than they are right now. Because you have the power to change it.
With accepting the reality comes a big relief. It is important to see the reality as it is. Not worse and not better. There is no right or wrong answer. And you know it. Accept, that something has to be changed and that you need to make a „move“. Seeing it with a healthy and balanced perspective is the mastery you need to learn and practice over and over again.
In order to get the happy life, you need to be happy first. Let me explain:
2 stages of happiness:
- Happiness in the present – where you are and with what you got. I call is also the stage of being present and gratitude. This takes self-discipline. Because truth is that you have all what you need at that moment. Right there and here again.
It’s about controlling your thoughts instead letting your thoughts to control you. It’s about your focus – what is right or wrong? You always have that choice.
This stage of happiness in your entrepreneurship is very important. Although it makes a perfect sense, the practice is not so obvious. In order to manifest your happiness, you need to be happy first. This applies to anything.
So think about your life and learn to really appreciate everything you have or have been through. It is the process and learning curve. It is work on yourself. Your discipline.
Start by writing down at least 100 things you are grateful for in your life and thank for it. Involve meditation into your daily routine. For more help check out the book Power of Now.
Slowly you will see changes happening in your life. Because you will change. Then you realize that you are moving into the second stage. One foot in the present and the other one in the future.
- Happiness in the future – your big vision, big goals and happy life full of abundance. We would love to get here straight away or as soon as possible, don’t we? But it’s not possible. You can not get here by skipping your stage one. When you do so as mentioned above you will experience a „shift“ in your life. You will be so sure about achieving your goal that everything you do will come out of you naturally.
Of course, there is always another level. That is ok. That is how it should be. Because only when you are growing you are living. There are always more and more people you can help or do something else greater.
If you are at the beginning of your journey, you can probably relate. I was literally eating personal advices on daily basis hoping that the more I know or do, the faster I will be able to reach my goals. I was chasing another goal not really realizing I was doing it so many times before.
Not appreciating present moments, people around me or just simply being. Learning to live in the present moment is the key to fulfillment. No matter where you are right now or how far you want to go, mastering to be happy now is not only key to a fulfilling life but also the fastest way to manifest whatever you want to be delivered to you in a physical form too.
I hope, you will be able to experience those changes in your life too.
