Enjoy your life and be happy. Being happy is of the utmost importance. Success in anything is through happiness. More support of nature comes from being happy. Under all circumstances be happy, even if you have to force it a bit to change some long standing habits.
Just think of any negativity that comes at you as a raindrop falling into the ocean of your bliss. You may not always have an ocean of bliss, but think that way anyway and it will help it come. Doubting is not blissful and does not create happiness. Be happy, healthy and let all that love flow through your heart.
— Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
To many, this quote by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi may seem trite, or overly simplistic. And indeed, there are times when we need more than this to create happiness—we may to make changes in our lives or our behaviors, we may need insight and/or healing. We may need transformation through meditation, psychotherapy, or relationship before we can apply new ways of thinking effectively.
However, there is a basic truth to the above quote, as evidenced by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); a psychotherapeutic approach that addresses dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and cognitions through a goal-oriented, systemic process. It is also evidenced through programs such as the 12-Step programs, which helps its members transform, in part, through addressing habits of thought. Programs such as this address a basic truth in the same way Maharishi does: habits of thought create an experience in life, and sometimes we have to consciously change those habits in order to create a different experience, one of happiness.
