Devotion leads to Happiness - 2

Then read a short passage in the Bible and some additional reading. A resource such as Daily Bread and The Upper Room can guide you in choosing scripture passages, and its witness from other believers can help you connect the words of the Bible with concerns of everyday life.
At the end of your reading time, be silent and wait to see what words, feelings, or images rise in your heart or tug at your thoughts. Notice what situations or people come to mind.

Consider how the words or images connect with your life; then pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help you to see what God may be saying to you through what you have read, thought, and felt.
Say a prayer, asking God to help you follow the guidance you have received and to be with the people who came to mind during your reading and reflection.

You may want to record your thoughts and feelings in a notebook or journal, to help you remember what God has been saying to you. Many people find it helpful to write about concerns and to write a prayer as a way to end their devotional time.

If you are just beginning to take time for reading the Bible and praying, plan to spend about ten minutes. As you become more comfortable with the process, you may find yourself spending a longer time. We can say that “Happiness is found everywhere.” Only yourself can make it possible.

Devotion leads to Happiness - 1

Happiness is what we are looking for. Everyone dreamed of that. There is this happiness for praying, happiness for singing, happiness for sharing, happiness for reading. It’s with ourselves that makes us happy. As for now, I want to talk with you about devotion which leads to happiness.

The phrases "doing devotions" or "having devotions" may sound foreign or weird. These phrases are simply ways people describe spending time with God by reading the Bible (and other Christian literature) and praying. Why bother to read the Bible and pray? Why is having a regular time with God important? We spend time with God in order to deepen and strengthen our relationship with the One who created us and yearns to be with us.

But because we are all different and because each of us has a unique relationship with God, no one devotional pattern will work for everyone. And no one way works for anyone all of the time. Experiment until you find the time of day, content, and length of time spent that helps you feel connected with God.

Begin your devotional time by quieting yourself. Take a few deep breaths and become still. Some people light a candle or say a simple prayer such as, "O God, open my heart to hear your message to me in the words I read."

Read: Be Happy and Be Inspired

Each and every one has their way of how they will become happy. Some consider themselves to be happy when they are together with their family, some consider when they are with friends. Some considered to be happy if they help the need. Some considered happy if they have a lot of money. All of us have different ways to become happy. If you will ask yourself, what makes you happy?

Reading ……. That’s the way that almost every one considered to be happy.

In this day and age there are so many books and learning materials you can find to aid you in your journey. Pay attention to books that seem to jump at you or books that you are attracted to in the self-help or inspirational section of the bookstore. Those are the books that will aid you depending on your current situation. God also reaches out to you in various ways, through friends’ advice, music lyrics, or the theme of a movie you are watching so pay attention to the signs and messages. You can’t learn everything overnight. Surrender your learning to God and know t5hat when the student is ready the teacher will come. Watch as on by on your mentors will come into your life. You will have different mentors for different aspects you need to learn. You will find that teachers in forms of books, healers, articles even the Internet will be presented to you as you go along. Take classes. Many classes are offered on meditation, healthy cooking, dealing with anger, etc.

Be aware of the opportunities and lessons that come your way. Be happy, stay happy and keep yourself centered at all times. Blessings and light will come your way.

You Are Responsible for Your Own Happiness

Peace and happiness are your natural state of being, but they get affected by our daily lives and interactions. I’ve learned the hard way that you can never control the way other people think and behave. But you can most definitely control your reactions, and who you want to become based on the certain situations that you confront.

Happiness comes from within; it cannot be determined by someone else. Phrases like “if only I can get my ex back, then I’ll be happy” will certainly prove wrong. However if you can’t tell your partner in all sincerity, “I’m okay being with myself yet I choose to be with you.”

When making decisions, ask yourself one or two questions: Is this who I am? If the answer is no, then you have your decision. If your answer is yes, ask the second question: “Is this who I want to become?” You will be surprised as to what this reveals to you.

Make the decision to be happy and the rest will come!

How to Be Happy -1

Happiness we are talking here. We are aware with the fact that nobody is happy all the time. We know that some people are more fulfilled or happy than others, and their happiness is not depending on what they are, how they are, where they are. It doesn't seem to have much to do with material goods or high achievement. People seem worrying about them being not able to achieve material good or high achievement. They believe they are not happy because of non achievement of those material goods or high achievement.

Does happiness really depend on these material achievement or high achievement? I must say its not. Rather than I like to recommend following few simple things which can reach anyone towards happiness. People who put in practice anyone of it or more than one of it must remain happy. I am sure with my experience in life that adoption of anyone of following change life.

1) Be in Present Moment
2) Be Relax
3) Keep Smiling
4) Make other happy
5) Be with your own self
6) Accept good/bad together
7) Accept others as they are
8) Keep Good Relationships
9) Do things makes you happy
10) Love all- unconditional love


We are going to talk on each of above in next coming post. Again I like to let you all my reader know that anyone of above things you adopt in life and you starts being remain happy.
