Alignment in Happiness

Whether we admit it or not, happiness is a stand-alone category in our lives, and it’s like it’s written in the subconscious of us all: “search for happiness”.

Who said this, anyway? Was it written so well in our minds through marketing?

Drink Coca-Cola = happy.

Buy the car = happy.

Buy the house = happy.

Get married = happy.

Have kids = happy.

Travel = happy.

Then you try them all, and not one brings happiness that lasts longer than a few moments.

So what’s the deal here?

Let me tell you, since I’ve made this my job.

The soul is happiness — joy, gratitude, wholeness.

When we inhabit this body, our frequency lowers. That’s why it’s so hard to “be present.”

When we feel happy, it feels more like home.

When we search to be part of something, it’s actually the simple search for wholeness.

But we never get the exact feeling we are looking for — because we only fully return to that feeling when we leave this body.

There’s another part to this: even while alive, we can leave the body on autopilot and wander off into other realms.

Have you ever felt like many people around you are just robots?

Or maybe in your own direct experience, you watched your reactions and thought, that wasn’t me.

Yeah. That’s the autopilot of this complex machinery called the body.

So, how do we get happiness?

By training our mind and our soul.

Because you can get the billion dollars, build the perfect family, travel full-time — and still have the same mind, the same body, the same heart.

You still have your baseline of simply being who you are.

And if you don’t work on raising that everyday baseline, everything will feel the same the moment the momentary joy is over.

How do we train the mind?

How do we train the soul?

How do we train the heart?

Ah… three of my favorite subjects.
