The notion that we should dedicate ourselves to happiness, both our own and that of others, might seem self-evident. The United States Declaration of Independence lists the pursuit ofhappiness as an inalienable right. But for all this pursuing of happiness,
are we any closer to attaining it? The question itself poses a novel dilemma. How do we, either as individuals or as a society, quantify our level of happiness?
| What is Happiness? |
Helping people find their happiness ...
Helping people find their Happiness, according to Merriam-Webster means I help people achieve "a state of well-being and contentment".
That definition is perfect for what I do in the world. As a husband, as
a father, as a printer, as an artist, as a spiritual counselor, as a
network marketer, as a sentient being on this planet, my overriding
goal is to help people find their happiness, even as I find my own.
Happiness to me is living a balanced life; that is a life balanced between service and enjoyment. Focusing on serving others, or work as it is popularly called, is one aspect; focusing on the beauty that life offers, or play as it is popularly called, is the other aspect.
Obviously these two aspects are intertwined like the black and white of a yin yang symbol that is three dimensional and always shifting and moving with no clear boundaries, and each aspect is found in the other.
What about the negative effects in our lives? Yes, those are there, too, but they are not separate, they are part of each aspect, part of the whole; what I do is bring these into perspective and allow them to fade into the background as our power to create the life of our dreams is actualized.
The single most important aspect of creating our happiness is knowing and accepting who we are in truth. This means going deeper than behaviours and circumstances, it means going deeper into our essence, into our beauty, into our individuality and creating a context where this essence of our being is what runs our life. We draw energy, inspiration and joy from this place and it shows everywhere in our life. I assist you in this process by facilitating your ability to find your true self.
