5 Ways to Bring Happiness to Your Life

Gas prices are high, bills are overdue, and your six year relationship is now over, what do you do? Many people lose sight of where the true essence of life lies. Some may question a few of my suggestions, but they have always turned my frown upside down. I warn you, there may be a few suggestions that will challenge your beliefs and how you approach situations in life.

1. Find your spiritual presence. You do not necessarily have to pick a certain religion, but there is certainly power in prayer. If you find a genuine faith in God, you may start to realize and be blessed. Blessings do not always come automatically. They do not always come in the form of money and materials as many expect either. Blessings are resulted in miracles, strength and understanding.

2. Meditation may or may not be associated with your spiritual presence. The purpose of meditation is to provide you with a cleansing of the mind, body, and soul. With deep concentration and breathing, many of your worries are lifted, thus allowing you to reenergize yourself. Meditating can alleviate concerns, anxiety, and stress; permitting all positive energy to come your way.

3. Do a good deed. This may seem backwards to many of you but there is joy in helping others. Happiness does not have to mean it is all about you. Taking the time to realize that your life’s concerns may be not be as bad as a Hurricane Katrina victim, a woman on life support, or a child without a home; makes you aware of your own shortcomings. There is a saying those who give; get given to, and those who take; get taken from. By getting involved into an area of your interest, you will be able to take a break from many of life’s troubles. It is important to make time for yourself, after all you are human. You may enjoy dancing, writing, or vacationing; what ever you decide to do just make certain it is something you like.

4. Find a hobby. By getting involved into an area of your interest, you will be able to take a break from many of life’s troubles. It is important to make time for yourself, after all you are human. You may enjoy dancing, writing, or vacationing; what ever you decide to do just make certain it is something you like.

5. Accept who you are. Do not validate your self worth by how others perceive you, or by what you have. Comparing yourself to others increases your worries and concerns. Even if you work at McDonalds, short in height, or missing a finger, your importance is not weighted based on material or physical aspects.

Many readers may be disappointed after having read this, but I can assure you these have a huge effect on one’s life. Many of you were hoping to read abut making money or finding that man or woman of your dreams. The truth is all the trivial things in life only come when you have implemented these concepts into your life.

What is recession?

With the present worsening world economic situation, the world "recession" is been mentioned very often this days. My friend send me this story about recession. Something to ponder!

This Story is about a man who once upon a time was selling Hotdogs by the roadside.
He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers. He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television. But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs. He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales.

His sales and profit went up. He ordered more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more. He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers. He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove. As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from College, joined his father.

Then something strange happened. The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?" The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible. The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times." The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV. He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly.
So the next day onwards, the father cut down his raw material order and buns, took down the colorful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic. He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs. Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hotdog stand. And his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit. The father said to his son, "Son, you were right". "We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."

Moral of The Story:
It's all in your MIND! And we actually FUEL this recession much more than we think we do!!!!!!!!!! !!

What can we take away from this story??
1. How many times we confuse intelligence with good judgment?
2. Choose your advisers carefully but use your own judgment
3. A person or an organization will survive forever, if they have the 5 Cs
* Character
*Commitment
* Conviction
* Courtesy
* Courage

The tragedy today is that there are many walking encyclopedias that are living failures.
The More practical and appropriate views on this economic recession is:
"This is the time to reunite together for any small or a big organization, this is the time to motivate and retain people which are the biggest asset, this is the time to show more commitments to the customers, this is the time to show values of our company to the world ".
