Being Blissful 24/7
What is required of the one who wants to be in a state of bliss 24/7? Is it a million dollars, a new spouse, a baby, a better job or a new religion? Not really. The only thing you will need to be able to do is notice when you are feeling either good or bad. This requires “slowing down.” ( Refer to one of my other writings on this. ) I am able to generate a blissful state of being by focusing my thoughts on only things that make me feel good. I prefer to focus on how wonderful I am for starters, however anything that makes you feel good is good enough. The key to life is this;
When we just focus on how wonderful we are, and wonderful things- we make ourselves happy- no matter what our circumstances are. The funny thing is that in doing so, we get all the things that we thought we’d get our happiness from 10x easier, if not automatically.
I say your #1 priority should be making yourself feel good. Which it already is. It already is you ask? YES. Humans like all animals are selfish by nature. The only difference in humans is that they will actually try to change this very natural part of who they are. When one tries to change this part or go through life not knowing that this is who they are, it will always cause some sort of pain. You see everything man does is an attempt to feel better. It could be getting a higher paying job, a new home, new car, more kids, a better education or whatever. Even when a man sacrifices himself for his children, that man still feels good knowing that he did that. You see doing what makes you feel good is always the right thing to do. Always think, feel, and do only what feels good to you. If you just think to yourself: “I am happy, and feeling good is always at the top of my list.” You will start to notice wonderful results.
What I find even more ironic is that most of us attempt to find the “God Factor” in the external things of life. The “God Factor” means something that will last forever. Something that will always be there for you no matter what. When you guys do this, you always find yourselves disappointed because nothing outside of you lasts forever. The only thing that will last forever is the present moment, and how you feel in that present moment. When one realizes that they can change how they feel by dwelling on thoughts that only make them feel happy, then they have achieved a state of blissfulness 24/7.
So this is very simple. If anytime during your day you have a thought in your mind that causes you any kind of discomfort, simply change the thought to something more desirable. We are not talking about denial. Here is an example:
A man looks at his credit card debt, and thinks to himself, “How am I going to pay such a debt off?” He soon finds himself getting stressed out about his debt, and starts attracting more of it. ( Law of Attraction ) He then starts to create more undesirable results in his reality.
Or…..
A man looks at his credit card debt, and thinks to himself: “I Am infinitely abundant. I have all the money in the world to pay for things I need and want. I Am so happy with myself.” He soon begins to dwell on this thought and finds himself getting happier and happier. He starts to attract circumstances in his life that will prove his thinking to be right! ( Law of Attraction ) Even if it feels like a lie at first, the mind will eventually succumb to this type of thinking and then proceed to generate the reality for the person. In the meantime, one will still feel infinitely better by dwelling on only desirable outcomes.
As you can see, the man who focuses on desirable outcomes starts to feel better immediately and thus functions better during the day. This is all that is required to feel good when faced with an undesirable circumstance!
Now. Another thing I also notice with most humans is that their self-worth is tied to the external. People tend to need all the things outside of themselves to feel good about who they are. These are all the things I stated above: Cars, Homes, Spouses, Children and whatever. I kind of laugh at those who try to find their self -worth through these things, because there is a much easier way to get it. All it requires is putting one’s self worth FIRST. Instead of waiting for the outside things to show up to feel good about yourself- tell yourself this: “I Am the best thing since the sun, and I know I Am wonderful.” Dwell on this thought for a bit. It feels weird at first telling oneself how awesome they are, but it soon starts to feel good. Keep it up. You’ll soon start to feel yourself feeling good about YOU! The ironic thing is that you start getting all of those things that you originally needed for self-worth much more easily!
So you might be asking. Why Ezra? Why does the universe work this way. Because this is the law. This is The Law of Attraction. Like attracts like. So all you have to do is feel good first, and all the things you are wanting start racing towards you. It is that easy.
