The 7 beliefs of the super happy people

The 7 beliefs of the super happy people

 

 

Super happy people: there are so very few of them!

You certainly do not see them on TV, and even if you were to, it would not help much: you have to meet them to understand what they are about.

I met the first one when I was 27. Before that time, I never knew that someone could be so deeply content about himself, so powerfully active in the world, and yet thoroughly enjoying each and every moment of his life.

Who was this happiness superhero? Neither a lottery winner, nor the product of genetic engineering! He was a normal person, like you and I, who had learned some pretty important lessons. Simple stuff, superficially, but enormously potent when you deeply believe it.

1.       You are ok
You are as you are, with all your limits, with all your faults, the good and the bad. You have the right to exist and be happy.

2.       Your life is no accident
Your life has a meaning: it might be humble, it might be great, it might be rational, or it might be totally weird! No needs to explain it: it just makes sense.

3.       You can choose the life you want
You can enjoy what you have and change what you do not like.

4.       Your past is ok
There are things your are proud of, and maybe others you wish you had not done. There are periods in which life has treated you well, and others in which you felt so very unlucky. All is all part of your story, all is part of who you are.

5.       Your present is interesting
This crazy thing called life is so damned interesting!

6.       Your future is bright
Things will turn out well. If anything bad happens, you will cope with it and you will find a way to learn from experience.

7.       You are loved
Loneliness is just a state of mind: if you close your eyes, love is all around you!

Am I a super happy person? Well, I am getting there, but I am still having challenges in focusing on my present: the future always seems more interesting! I am also in the process of accepting my limits: a tiny part of me still wishes I could be perfect!

And what about you? Do you believe in all of the 7 points? Would you be willing to adopt a new belief if you knew it could greatly improve your life?
