Hello everyone

  Hi. Have you been reflecting on happiness and what makes you happy ? I read that if you want to be happy then you have to BE. What does it mean. I think that it ties into living in the present. The only way to "BE" is not live in the past nor the future. If you are living in the past then you are so busy trying to change it that living in the now cannot happen. Living in the past results in allot of energy being wasted in regret. Lots of if 's and only.  Only If this didn't happen then things would be different today etc. etc. This past type of wastfull thinking comes in  infinite combinations that are a waste of time. You cannot go back and change anything. It is water under the bridge.

   Just as wasteful is dreading the future. Or spending so much time planning for what you do not know that very little time is spent on the now. The "BE". What is the future ? No one knows. except that the future is built of a whole bunch of nows, or the moments where you are in the "BE". If you are building a futures of "BE'S" or "nows" consiously  and with happiness then does that not build a happy future or happiness ?  One thing for sure is you won't be able to look back on the past with regret if you live in the now and  "BE" one moment at a time.

  Does happiness start in the way we think ? Yes I think it does. Can we just tell ourselves to think, act and be happy and merry. NO that is difficult. Can we start to live in the moment the now and to just "BE" ?  YES WE CAN !!!  The start is to think in the now. Stay in the Moment and to "BE"

   Try and start there. See what happens. I think that it is the beginning of the search of happiness.
