If the richest person on earth asked your advice on what would make him/her the happiest person on the planet, what advice would you give?

Whoever said this only demonstrates their immature and superficial attempt to play with words. In simple terms, this expression means "only grateful individuals are happy" . Because something sounds good doesn't necessarily make it true. Babies and children are generally happy, does that mean they are grateful too? What do they even know about being thankful or grateful? I don't think anyone can deny the fact that children are human beings like anyone else, and that, generally speaking, they are not thankful yet they are genuinely happy. Being thankful is one way of expressing gratitude. Gratitude itself is a sign of wisdom which is a result of lessons from living fully the experiences that life unfolds before you. Real wisdom and humility go hand and hand because a wise person is someone who understands the greatest lesson from their own wisdom: “What they know is insignificant compared to what is there to learn”. That is why wise individuals are generally quietly humble and they are thankful for any additional drop of pure knowledge that life brings to them as a gift. A wise person experiences life fully with an absolute conviction in the simple fact that everything that happens to them is done with Love and Justice. This alone removes any possibility of experiencing low-level feeling such as envy, hatred, anger, and so on. A person who reaches this level of wisdom is nothing but an embodied living gratitude themselves. Someone who is genuinely grateful lives to give not to take because they truly become a mediator of what life offers in abundance. They know that they are too small to contain everything that life has to offer therefore giving becomes the only way to further growth, expansion, and eternal renewal that guarantees freshness or life itself. This type of individual gives in silence. Just their presence alone is powerful enough to influence their surroundings. This is why many people feel something uniquely great and powerful when they find themselves in the same room with a person full of wisdom. Those capable of following and understanding these explanations will easily understand that, in all truthfulness, Happiness is not a static state but a consequence of a constant movement between giving and getting that unfolds at a higher frequency that seems like it is static. It is like the blades of a helicopter that rotates so fast that sometimes they give the impression of being static or even rotating slowly backward. The natural exchange between giving and getting is what I constantly refer to as “The Natural Flow of Happiness”.

The good thing is that you know what it means to be happy since you said: “I haven’t been genuinely happy for so long…” . The unfortunate part is that this reply alone may not be enough but I am sure it would guide you in the right direction. Below are a few things that you can do. Remember that time . Try to remember the last time that you were genuinely happy. Think about the conditions, the type of people you were surrounded by, what you were doing, what you really enjoyed, etc… and try your best to create those conditions in your current life. Happiness is personal and a matter of choice. No one can make you happy. I believe that happiness flows inside out and all external things can only bring either joy or misery. Joy will elevate your level of happiness while misery will debase it. Use your free will to only chose or associate with things or people who bring joy to you and avoid anything else like a plague. Your happiness depends on this separation, so be absolutely serious. Get to know yourself. If someone were to ask you or if you were to ask yourself the question “Who are you?” or “Who am I?”, what would be your answer? Most people tend to respond by identifying themselves with their job or job title, but you are more than just a job title. Please note that when you answer that question, you will more likely start by saying “I am …”. Take a pen and a paper, write down a set of “ I am Statements” that describe you in terms of values, qualities, principles, or social status. Such statements could be like “I am honest”, “I am courageous”, “I am a good friend”, “I am an excellent Nurse”, “I am a leader”, etc… The easiest way to go about writing these statements is to imagine your best self and then describe that vision of yourself in terms of “I am statements”. Once you do this, go through them every day, change and adjust as necessary. Seek Alignment: Your thoughts, your words, and your actions must be in alignment with who you claim to be in your “I am statements”. If you believe you are respectful, you should not engage is insulting, cursing, or disrespectful in your thoughts, words, or actions. The easiest way to implement this lifestyle is to follow my advice # 2 by only associating with people who bring joy to you, people you respect and who respect you, people who add value to your life. Happiness requires Balance. In this Creation, Balance is what maintains peace and harmony as the foundation for happiness. Seek balance is everything that you do and remember that You Must Always Give First Before You Get , in other words, only the fulfillment of the duty of giving guarantees your right to get. You’ve heard the expressions such as, you reap what you sow, or Karmic Law, etc… Notice that balance between breathing out and then breathing in is what maintains us alive. If you want a lot of oxygen in your lungs, you must empty them first to create room for it. Be Patient. Nothing that grows strong does so overnight. You must be patient with yourself and forget instant gratification thinking by expecting to fully experience happy overnight. The best advice I can give you about how to be patient is to only focus on your intends and learn to be satisfied with your efforts. Celebrate small victories and build upon them, before you know its magic will be unfolding before you. The best thing about time is that no one manufactures it, it is free, you can always use it as an ally and as much as necessary. Experience Life. Experience is your best teacher, follow your passion but just make sure that you don’t do so at the expense of others. Don’t lie, steal, mislead, abuse, hurt, and intentionally create pain onto others. Read inspirational books, listen to inspirational audiobooks, travel the world, meet new people to see how beautiful this earth truly is, and that will humble you to the point where no word will be good enough express your gratitude toward the Almighty God for allowing us to consciously experience so much joy and happiness. I really hope that this will be enough to get you going. If you want you can share it with anyone else who may benefit from this. I would also suggest that you follow #revelationsandwonders, go to Happiness | Revelations & Wonders where you can ask additional questions receive updates and much more…

The words legal and revenge don't coexist. Remember that even under Human Judicial System, one cannot be both judge and party . When one person decides to act in revenge, they undermine the existing Judicial System and its Laws, whether Human Justice or Divine Justice. In so doing, they self-proclaimed as the best judge for the case and condemn the other party as guilty. Ethically or morally, that doesn't sound right, and it is simply not legal. The bottom line is that, everyone is fully responsible for their own actions. You will always bare full responsibility for all your deeds including your reactions. We can find all possible reasons to humanly justify how we act, but the Divine Laws are immutable “What a man sows, he shall reap”. Imagine a scenario where the perpetrator feels like your Justice (revenge) is not proportional or fair. If you give yourself the right to self-justice (revenge) then, they too, have the right to re-revenge, so where does it stop? This is the part of life that will test whether a not a human has grown to maturity. If someone does wrong to you and you are certain of your own innocence, why waste time complaining? If you complain when you are innocent, then what would you do when you are guilty? If you are a believer of Karmic Law like some of us, meaning that everything that happens to us in this life can’t only be exclusively attributed to the happenings of this lifetime alone, what if in your previous life you were 10-times crueler to that person and/or others? Life is also a school, a place for each one of us to learn through experiences with the goal of overcoming our weaknesses. Self-control is a quality, not a weekness. My point is that revenge is worthless. But just as with everything in life, you have your own free will to decide and chose your course of action, but the Divine and Living Laws always have the final say in terms of punishments or rewards.
