How To Live a Good Life By Randall Thieben
We all want to discover how to live a happy life. I’ve been in pursuit of a happy life for as long as I can
remember.
I’ve always wondered what it takes to be happy. As I pursued money, relationships, and success, I
realized that happiness doesn’t come from the outside; it comes from within.
I also realized that I don’t necessarily need to do anything to be happy.
The funny thing is that when I saw this, I became more likely to do what I loved, because I wasn’t so
afraid of failing.
I wasn’t so attached to the outcome, which freed up energy to focus on the here and now.
We only get in our own way through the thoughts we believe, and the ideas we think we should
follow.
With all that said, let’s look at nine simple steps on how to live a happy life.
1. Making the Choice
It all begins with the choice to lead a happier life.
The choice to be happy has to come before wanting to have success, fame, wealth, love, and
everything else on your list.
You can be happy even when life isn’t perfect, because we don’t feel life directly. We feel our
thoughts.
We know this because other people are in the same circumstances as you, but they experience it
differently.
On one hand, we have depressed billionaires. On the other, we have tribal folk in the Amazon
rainforest that are dancing with joy.
Almost every limit in our lives is set by ourselves. Most of your negative beliefs have been acquired
from your parents, society, and friends.
They can all be transcended. You can reclaim control by not taking your mind so seriously.
You can begin to follow what makes you come alive.
