How to be happy?

[Lchlch]

Don’t think too much

Bro, this is very true
We are trap by our thinking n clinging on the past n future

Ok to share, but refrain from revealing coy name, colleagues name etc..

No point sharing. Nothing good will come out of it. I am certain of that.

Past is always regret.
Future is anxiety and worry.
Live in the present.

Future look at goals and targets positively.
Do not look at past at all.

However if one has been happy and the unhappy things occurs they have sometjing in their emotional account to weather it better.

Happiness is like a savings account.

Have more happy thoughts then draw from it as a backup when unhappy things happen.

Being happy attracts positive energy.


For eg. Real life eg.
My lead, super temperamental, minor things, sudden erupts, he thought nobody dare to talk back to him.

But no, people just dnt want to get suck into his negative energy.

You can't be permanently happy forever. Eventually expectation will make you disappoint somehow.

Ask/find or be in PEACE instead ,
Everything in life you will receive
Even happiness

So….if no expectation = Permanently happy forever…

It is not a trap… it is a choice what to think

I only started thinking like that after I had my Psychedlic journeys. There was preparation before, guide sitting during and integration after.

That's why I think the Psychedlics do have a powerful role to play in helping people mentally.

But the governments are afraid of people gaining access to this as it may mean people give up their roles in society.

If you study the history of paychedelics and when it was declared public enemy no 1 by Ronald Reagan you will understand more about why they will never make it easily accessible.

I do agree that we should NOT make it legal for free use. But there is a role for it in therapeutics.

poor ppl are happier. the happy things in life dontch cost $$$.

In a way that is true.
But is also hard not to have desires and expectations.
This is the Buddhist teaching. Give up all material things attachment be nothing. Then nirvana.

But I would argue then that is not living like human anymore. I had this discussion deeply and spiritually with someone very wise.

1. Don't compare

Not need wait till nirvana….

Just being content with oneself means finding satisfaction and peace with who you are, your current circumstances, and your abilities…. Anytime.
