How We Live
Finding true happiness and achieving personal goals in today’s perplexing world is never easy. All of us are learning how to live – training to improve ourselves, our relationships and our spiritual understanding. We can teach you how to use meditation, study, and visualization to solve problems, and learn better ways to approach issues in your daily life, work, and relationships. By maintaining a consistently positive outlook, you can overcome obstacles to achieving your dreams.
Harmonizing Relationships
Do you have trouble with love and relationships? In your life, check to see whether you have been focusing on shortcomings or what people lack. Are you often blaming them?
- How many wonderful points did you find in him or her?
- How much gratitude did you express for things he or she did for you?
- How much help did you offer so that the person can grow or achieve success?
People tend to think that they will be happy if they receive love or if someone does something for them. But that is a life of taking, and it leads to suffering. If you summon up your courage and choose a life of giving, your sufferings disappear. Gradually, you feel happy as you see other peoples happy faces. The more you give, the more you are given. True love is a love that gives.
Creating Happy Homes
Is your home filled with bickering and harsh words? Words create heaven or hell in the home. It is possible to generate disharmony, conflict, and breakup … or a peaceful and loving haven. All based on the words you choose. Imagine that today is the last day of your life. What words will you use with your spouse,your children, your friends? Your soul evolves by making an effort to create happiness in the environment you are given.
Happy science recommends to practice self-reflection daily. Find a quiet time each day, even if it is just 5 minutes, and reflect on what words and thoughts you have used throughout the day.
Overcome Depression
Do you often feel cold and depressed? If your heart is feeling cold or down, try counting the blessings you have received from Buddha.
It could be small things …
- The sun through your bedroom window, a nice walk to work.
- A family and children who love you.
- Friends, a job and a home.
- Health and some extra time to think and meditate.
Every day is a new day full of hope. Realizing the infinite blessing that is given to every person and knowing that you are given life — this is the starting point of faith. Take even 5 minutes of your day to attune your mind to Buddhas compassionate heart.
Finding Your Life Mission
Do you feel lost and without direction? For what purpose are you trying to improve yourself?
By fulfilling that purpose, what kind of happiness can you bring to earth? There’s nothing wrong with working to become prosperous. But if you work only for yourself, you will not make spiritual progress. Happy Science defines progress as increasing the number of people who wish to contribute and make society prosperous, as they themselves become more prosperous.
