Getting yourself 'happy'

Posted on Apr 28th, 2006 by Domus Ulixes : Some Kid Domus Ulixes

First of all, I don't know what happy is. It's something different for everyone. Some people are happy being tortured, while others are happy being spoiled, or sitting in the sun without worries (I like that personally). So when I say I'm going to give you tips on how to become happy, it's more like leaving your worries behind.

Tip1. - Look around you, and look at other people. You will learn more from a single moment looking around you, then woe will ever learn from a book. Just imagin how much you could learn about a single moment, if you were to consume all the information of that one single moment. Stop worrying about your own problems, how you should have rephrased that previous question, or what you are going to tell your friends. Your unconsciousness will always give you a better answer anyway, that is if you trained it.

Tip2. - Forget all routine. If you are someone who has to work by the book, please do so anyway. But if you are free of obligation, forget routine. Just because something worked before, doesn't mean it will work again this time. As use of the popular 'growth': growth implies a difference in some sort of size, which requires change. And change will never be reached with routine.


Tip3. - Respect sence and logic. Just because some things may not be logic to you, a scientist, or a paranormally gifted person. doesn't mean it has no logic. The more information you will have the more logic it could become. So respect other people's logical conclusions. It makes sense to them, if you think otherwise, you may, but always see other things as actual options. No Black and White thinking. 

Tip4. - Have Faith. In yourself mostly. If you have a god to believe in, or some other form of divinity, praise yourself lucky. Whatever you believe in, and you have ever been hurt, you know that he or she will never always be there for you. Trust that you can do it on your own aswell. Your god will always help you, but you have to begin everything by yourself. And if you begin, you will have to have trust in yourself, to get you that far.

Tip5. - Respect everyone, even yourself. This one would be pretty logical. But you have to respect everyone, even terrorists. Yes they don't always deserve it. But they think they are doing good. Notice the last Tip...

Tip6. - Humans are animals. Serious, we call ourselves civilized, but only few are. As long as you feel butterflies in your stomache when you are in love, and as long as you feel angry about competition your are an animal. It makes sense , if we were all civilized there would be no-one making money on books about psychology. Knowing we are animals makes it possible to somewhat predict what people are going to do. And it makes it more easy for you to understand certain decisions of others. Example: Why did he choose for her? Why wasn't i hired? Why does he ignore me? Why doesn't she stop yapping at me? Me Tarzan, you Jane?

Mostly I noticed people never follow up more then one, maybe two of these tips. Trying never hurt anybody. And You can always ask someone for help. I'd advice to ask someone you've know for a longer period of time. These people know you better. Or a complete stranger, preferably someone you bumbed into on the streets. There is no more objective judgment than the one of a complete stranger. Keep your friends and family for comfort. That way you can't hurt them either.
Good look, in growing more intelligent and spiritual growth.

Good night, D. ulixes.

Maybe happiness is the natural state, and not paying attention to your points is obstructing this natural happiness.

Like you say, people experience happiness for different reasons, which is cool.

Though, what do you think, is their also a hierarchy in happiness? are some ways of happiness more profound then others? Like, if somebody is happy without him having food and shelter,is that a higher form of happiness than somebody who is genuinly happy for buying a car?

what do you think? :)
