Did you know that right now your are as happy with your life as you have chosen to be?

That’s right it is up or down to you. I know that this will upset many who believe that it is up to others to create their happiness for them But these are the kinds of people who except very little personal responsibility for them selves and enjoy being victims. I trust that is not you.

A victim can easily be uncovered by listening to their language. You will notice they say things like. “he made me so angry” “ she drives me mad” “It’s your fault” “ I never thought that would happen” “I can’t” and “I’ll try” to mention a few.

This type of language pattern allows us to spot someone who believes that other people make them feel good and have given up the responsibility for their feelings to someone else. It of course also means that the other person is responsible for all your woes and unhappy states of your mind.

Would you want to live with such a person? Just imagine how unstable and over emotional they would be. Your life would not be much fun.

The good news is.

You choose what and why and how you feel happiness, pleasure and joy in your life. You can choice what to feel good about and increase the amount of wonderful feelings and experiences in your life. A long the way you will also help victims to stop being victims and let them mature as responsible people.

So no one and no out side event makes you feel anything. It is how you think that decides your state and that is created by you and your own mind setting up the rules for you. No one except for an exceptional neuro linguistic programmer or hypnotist can make you feel anything you choose not to be effected by, and even they are unable to do it with every one they meet.

First decide what happiness means to you.

Do you know what this state means to you? It may seam a silly question but many of the clients I see as a therapist say “I want to be happy” but when I ask they “so what does it mean to you?’ they do not know.

So decide what it means to you. I have a friend who feels totally wealthy and a huge success each day. How? because he defined and decided what would have to happen for him to feel this way. His definition of wealth and success would not work for Sir Alan Sugar because he has a different set of rules that he has decided upon.

Remember.

As long as you structure your life in a way where your own emotions are dependent on other people or events that you can not control you are setting yourself up for pain.
