Practicing Happiness

To change the world, one must seriously focus on one's own energies. The judgements and dramas we utilize against others should be pulled out at the root. That negative energy we use towards others and ourselves in a negative direction should be harnessed into our own inner purification. We can't change another. Only by our own work on changing ourselves for the better, do we have any effect on improving the energy of others. If our own energy is beautiful, then it is possible to have an uplifting effect on others. Think about the people you know, that make you feel good, just to be in their presence. They are happy just to enjoy being with you.
Then compare this to the vampires and bean counters you know of. They suck all your energy because they are so hungry for attention and "measure" everything they give and get because they are so afraid and limited. When someone thinks about being taken advantage of, more than likely they themselves take advantage of others. If one is trusting, probably they are trustworthy. What comes out of  one's mouth, says more about themselves than what the content is actually saying. Be observant. Alert. Make a study of observing yourself and what could be changed for the better and do it. And watch others as a means of understanding. Behind all aggression and negativity is a wish for attention, an unfulfilled longing. The world loves to accumulate more and more misery. It's like a club-let's all commiserate our miseries- BLABLABLA. The reverse should be true.
You become what you pay attention to. This is the truth. With this said, don't you want a life of ease and joy?
Collect your moments of happiness. Hold the memory of happy times past, if you have no happiness to hold at present. Because what you hold in your mind and your heart creates your next reality. If you want a better experience, a better reality, change what you think about and the way you think about it. Add good thoughts, more and more of them. Find what's lovable everywhere around you. Enjoy everything you can and share your happiness. It's a practice. If you practice this adding and building of happy things in your existence, with time your reality changes for the better. Little miracles show up regularly. Being miserable is a habit and it breeds like a contagious disease. Wakeup! Practice happiness. You have the power!
