What will make you happy?

[Morrek]

I haven't read the entire thread, but, if you're looking for some "thing" to come to your life, that will then "make" you happy, then you're looking in the wrong place. Let me tell you a secret of life; You already have everything you need to be happy, as happiness comes from within you. If you wish to be happy, just choose to be happy, no matter what happens in your life. This doesn't mean that you don't want things to improve in your life. It just means that you don't worry too much about the results of events in your life, but more-so of "enjoying the ride", so to speak.

In fact, you can choose any state of "being", at any time. You can choose to be happy, sad, joyful, excited, depressed, anything you want, whenever you want it, it doesn't matter what actually happens in your life. We all do this every day, but most of us are doing this subconsciously. One example of this in todays society is movies and tv in general. If you watch a sad movie, suddenly you start to feel sad, even though nothing in your life is actually happening. You know it's all fake, just actors acting out a show for you, but still your state of being is changing.

You can use this in your life, if you wish. Every time you enter a room, choose what state of being you wish to be, before you enter. People will notice a difference about you, and maybe they will change their "beingness" to reflect yours. If you are happy, maybe they'll smile and ask "what are you so happy about?".
