Zen Garden > Happiness Affirmation - My Challenge to You

When everything is all boiled down to the lowest common denominator, the one thing that each and every human being is desperately searching for and craving is all the same. We all crave happiness.

That is not to say that each person doesn't engage in different strategies to reach that state and, sadly, many of those are false. Some misguided souls think that taking mind altering substances is a path to happiness. That is false but they don't know that so they try it. Many become addicts and die. They never achieve happiness. Others decide that they need to rob banks and cheat and lie and steal to get what they want. Again, this method is false. You cannot hurt other people and achieve true happiness. The universe catches up with those people and again they are penalized for their actions. They never achieve happiness either.

So, how do we achieve this seemingly elusive state of happiness?

The answer is deceptively simple. In fact, it is so simple that most people completely overlook it. It is so simple that, even when told, many people will reject it.

So, what is the answer to happiness?

The answer to happiness is to think happy and seek happiness. Anything else simply doesn't work. Think about it!

I am now going to give you an affirmation for happiness and I will guarantee one thing to you - IF you use it. My guarantee is that IF you use my happiness affirmation every day for at least 30 days consecutively that you will wake up in the morning with a smile on your face. You will wake up HAPPY!

Without further ado, here it is:

"A feeling of inner happiness is coursing through me. I am choosing to be happy every day no matter what circumstances I find myself in. I awaken each day with a smile on my face because I know I will be at my best when I am happy. Other people see my happiness as a sign of great strength. I smile and greet people with genuine enthusiasm. My own happiness leaves everyone I meet in a happier state. Being happy is a wonderful feeling. A feeling of inner happiness is coursing through me."

You can make up your own affirmations or you can visit the Motivation & Self Esteem for Success website at www.motivationselfesteem.com where you will find affirmations on subjects such as health, self-esteem, wealth and memory. But, a word of caution... there is a definite method for writing affirmations. If you are not aware of how to write a positive affirmation then you may do more harm than good.
