Attracting Happiness By Forgiving

By Glenda Feilen


We all want joy in our lives, but hardly any are aware of how to be happy. I know how to be happy, for sure, and sharing it is something I love to do. One thing you need to recognize about how to be happy is that you can start being happy any moment you choose once you know the secret - so be prepared!

You might think you would need to take a class or read a book on happiness, but that isn't required. You simply have to decide you want to be happy. You have to choose to give up old habits of believing that your problems are caused by someone else. If you wish to know how to be happy, you must know how to be responsible for all parts of your life.

After that, you decide to keep your thoughts on happy things. You can think yourself happy. It's completely true! Once you fill your mind with happy thoughts, you don't have room for unhappy thoughts. If you fill your mind with "I can," there isn't any room for "I can't." You're 100% in charge of every little thought you think. Those who know how to be happy make happy thoughts a common practice.

Once you start to think happy thoughts, it gets easier by the day. A man that knows how to be happy knows that if you keep doing something again and again, it starts getting easier. That includes how to be happy. So as you can see, happiness is a skill that must be worked on, so never stop practicing!

Learning how to forgive is a large part of happiness. It is something that is quietly contemplated every single day by thousands of people. If you don't know how to forgive, your life is stuck. If you don't learn forgiveness, you are not following the joy that you came to earth to learn.

When you hold resentment you will never know how to forgive. Resentment toward anyone or anything causes an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Sadly, holding onto your resentment is easier than forgiving, so many people who are weak cannot rise above and forgive. The only way to break that link is to forgive. Being unsure of how to forgive and holding the tiniest resentment causes damage in all areas of your life by bringing about negative energy

The word forgive means "to give up." When you learn how to forgive, you will give up all adverse thoughts regarding the person or situation. A great way to forgive is to create a list of everyone you need to forgive and jot down what it is you forgive them for. Trust me, you will feel a lot better afterwards.

Once you realize how to forgive, you will understand that animosity is your foe. When you know how to forgive, you will realize that resentment attracts more of the same energy, as a result you attract more things and situations to forgive into your life.
