The secret to a good life may be as simple as one word: Happiness.
Happiness is a habit. Happiness is the natural outcome of being aligned with our true self, which is experienced when we are fully present in the moment.
Notice what keeps you from enjoying whatever you are doing. It's your thoughts, isn't it?
The key to happiness is being aware of what is really happening in every moment rather than being absorbed in thoughts about the past, the future, your life, other people, and the many other thoughts we tend to get lost in, which don't add to our life or enhance our experience. Happiness is within your control, since where you focus your attention is in your control.
The present moment is all that exists, yet we often fail to notice what is actually going on now. Most people live in a mental world. When we drop out of this mental world into the now, we experience a deep sense of joy and peace. This is the experience of our true self.
Take responsibility for your own joy. Make it a habit to discipline your mind to: Be Where Your Feet Are.
