A Journey To Happiness Or A Journey Of Happiness (Part 2)?

It is worth wondering that obstacles on the life journey can be temporary obstructions in our achievements, but not obstructions in our happiness. Only then the journey of life will be a journey of happiness and not a journey to happiness. One of the most important ways of remaining happy during the journey with many challenges existing together at the same time is increasing the wealth of our thinking. The right type of thinking will make us happy even if there are unfinished tasks or goals or life events which we are keenly anticipating to get over. Increase the quality of your thinking on a challenging day and see how rich and full you feel internally. This will make you pure happiness conscious and not challenge conscious and also not date conscious, the date when the challenge will be overcome which you are waiting to see happen in front of your eyes. The source of rich thinking is a choice for you to make. You can make a good selection of wisdom and feed that source every day to your mind before leaving for work or starting any day-long activity which keeps you occupied.

Also, there is a story of the woodcutter who used to work very hard the entire day but used to not cut much by the end of the day without realizing the reason for the same. This went on for many days until one fine day someone suggested to him that why don’t you sharpen your axe? He did that and his tiring days got over. In the same way, we go on and on the whole day in search of different life purposes without ever sparing a thought that our axe, which is our strengths, specialties and skills, needs to be sharpened. Not a single day should pass without experiencing our strengths, positives and special personality traits including our unique talents. You might wonder how we will experience these? The path is simple – by bringing them into practical action. This will make you fuller internally. But along with that, both – the practical application of these unique positives inside you and the pure happiness due to the high self-esteem experienced as a result of that, will make it easier to fulfill your ambitions faster.
