How to Forgive and Be Happy

By Glenda Feilen


People want joy in their lives, but very few are aware of how to be happy. I understand how to be happy and sharing it is something I love to do. The first thing you need to recognize about how to be happy is that you can begin being happy any moment you choose once you know the secret - so be prepared!

You might think you would need to take a class or read a book on happiness, but that isn't required. You simply have to decide you want to be happy. You have to choose to give up old habits of believing that your problems are caused by someone else. If you wish to know how to be happy, you must know how to be responsible for all parts of your life.

Next, you decide to focus on happy things. You can think yourself happy. It's absolutely the truth! When you fill up your mind with happy thoughts, you don't have space for unhappy thoughts. If you fill your mind with "I can," there is no room for "I can't." You are 100% accountable for every little idea in your head. People who know how to be happy make happy thoughts a common practice.

Once you start to think happy thoughts, it gets easier by the day. A man that knows how to be happy knows that if you keep doing something again and again, it starts getting easier. That includes how to be happy. So as you can see, happiness is a skill that must be worked on, so never stop practicing!

Learning how to forgive is a large part of happiness. It is something that is quietly contemplated day after day by countless people. If you don't know how to forgive, your life is stuck. If you don't know how to forgive, you are not following the joy that you came to earth to learn.

When you hold onto anger you can never know how to forgive. Bitterness toward anyone or anything causes a mental link that is stronger than steel. Sadly, holding onto your resentment is easier to do than forgive, so many individuals who are weak can't rise above and forgive. The only way to break that link is to forgive. Not knowing how to forgive and holding the tiniest resentment causes mayhem in every area of your life by triggering negative energy

The word forgive means "to give up." When you learn how to forgive, you will give up all adverse thoughts regarding the person or situation. A great way to forgive is to create a list of everyone you need to forgive and jot down what it is you forgive them for. Trust me, you will feel a lot better afterwards.

Once you know how to forgive, you will recognize that animosity is your enemy. When you know how to forgive, you will understand that resentment attracts more of the same energy, consequently you attract more things and situations to forgive into your life.
