How can we be happy? This isnt a particularly common question in our minds as at some point in most days, there will be a time where we feel very happy, but Im talking about a deeper happiness than that, a feeling that is constant and doesnt simply come and go with different day to day situations. And Im not talking about spiritual stuff either, although quite a few people have found happiness that way.

If you were to look at someone who is truly happy, you would see that they are happy in spite of challenges, rather than happy because they have no challenges. They will want to embrace whatever is coming their way rather than worry about it.

For a lot of people, being happy is associated with an object. Like a kid is happy when he has ice-cream in his hands, many people are happy when they have something they desire with them. But the problem is that our desire for the material things does not remain constant. Once we get used to that object, we desire something else and the whole cycle starts off in earnest once more. And we should mention here that happiness is dependant on an absence of insecurities. As long as we are worried about what we have and how long it will be with us, we remain unhappy; and that is why we see billionaires from around the world getting psychological counseling to lead their lives in a happier manner.

When one has got rid of ones insecurities, we have no real reason to be unhappy. All the gurus throughout the ages have said more or less the same thing as do all of the religions throughout the world. Many of todays self-help classes also focus on this aspect, however most people who go to those sessions come out temporarily inspired to be happy, and for a week or so everything is perfect, but then the feeling starts to wear off like it does with everything. What you need to do is not simply to practice the teachings of these gurus, but to imbibe them into your everyday life and activities, and if you know how, its really not that hard!

The first step is to attend a series of interactive sessions (not just lectures) run by a coach who is truly and genuinely happy, and in doing so you will do yourself a huge favour.
