RE: Being Happy Is A Choice... So Why Choose To Be Unhappy?

in #life8 years ago

We can choose what we think and this determines how we feel. Our feelings and emotions are our guidance system, telling us if we are thinking thoughts pointed toward the things we want, or away from them.

Sort:  

We do what we think about and become what we do is the way I look at it. I think about my goals. I may not achieve them when I first want them done, but I will eventually achieve them. The main thing that makes me different from so many around me is that I ignore the negative energy around me.

So many don't realize that this IS a Choice. Even one of the replies to this post above yours and mine says "we have no choice." It's too bad in a way, but I also know every person learns at the perfect pace for themselves. Yes, our emotions are our guidance system, and as much as I knew lots for many years, I never really realized this until a few years ago. It's one of the things we are not taught in school - emotions. In fact, the general teaching of the world mind is not to know about emotions. But once acknowledged as the keys they are to understanding the life journey, all kinds of doors have opened up for me.

YES! I often think about when I started thinking about my emotions, and when I started meditating and doing exercises like the Sedona Method - it feels like I didn't actually have emotions, I had a haze of unconsciousness that came from somewhere. Now, when I understand that how I feel is merely an indicator of what I am thinking, I feel my emotions more clearly and more deeply. And I do have a choice!!

It's as you said, we all learn at our own perfect pace, so it's ok.

Wow - It's being fun to be on Steemit. Thanks for your reply. I get it. I was wondering if there would be any people on here that were interested in expanded consciousness. I also meditate. Perhaps we will share again.

Your thoughts dont make you happy. What you accomplish with your actions do. Emotions are there to guide as how to act. Not how to think. Thinking is more of a by product.

Could you give me an example of how accomplishment through action makes you happy?

You accomplish your goal and that makes you happy. You get the girl and that makes you happy. You make money and that makes you happy. You have a healthy child and that makes you happy.

You really couldnt come up with one yourself?

What if you get the girl and that doesn't make you happy? What if you make the money and that doesn't make you happy? I know plenty of super successful people who aren't happy.

Then those werent the actions that made you happy. Are you an idiot or are you trolling? Not every action makes you happy, idiot.
