Authentic Happiness - To Find Authentic Happiness, You Must Find Yourself First
Discovering authentic happiness is a special key to achieving life abundance.
Achieving abundance in your life is going to be especially difficult if you can't face each day with a sense of hope as well as a feeling of contentment.
Feelings of hope and contentment require a basic sense of happiness emanating from within your soul.
If deep down, no matter how much you try to convince yourself otherwise, you're unhappy with the current direction of your life, it's time to face up to it.
It's time to make the necessary changes that will lead to authentic happiness.
Authentic Happiness Fake It Til You Make It
Have you ever heard that saying, "Fake it til you make it"?
I've heard it mainly in the business world: until you're making tons of money, fake it by looking the part of a "successful" person.
I've also heard it in relation to the idea of achieving abundance and happiness in your life. Some people advocate the "grin and bear it" method to becoming happy.
They say if you're miserable, just say a few affirmations and "fake it til you make it".
I'm a firm believer in daily affirmations. Affirmations are a wonderful tool for creating the mental toughness necessary to pick yourself up time and again on your way to your dream life.
However, if along the way you're not truly getting in touch with what you specifically need to feel authentic happiness, I don't care how many times you say "I feel great" each day: you aren't really developing the unique lifestyle you need to feel contentment.

What is Authentic Happiness?
What is authentic happiness anyway?
I'm sure if you asked ten people this question you'd get ten different ideas on the subject.
All I can do is pass my personal thoughts regarding authentic happiness on to you.
To me, true happiness doesn't come in a bottle: meaning that I think our modern world is littered with people trying to find contentment by focusing on their "outside" world.
Are you trying to find happiness through your...
- Spouse?
- Car?
- House?
- Clothes?
- Big Screen Television?
- Favorite Sport?
- Favorite TV Show?
- Friends?
- Parents?
- Siblings?
- Career?
- Bank Account?
- Next Vacation?
- Landscaping?
- Jewelry?
- Education?
- IQ?
- ????????
I'm here to tell you that none of that stuff - none of it - not even your spouse - is going to make you happy.
Real happiness comes from inside... Coming to terms with who you are stripped free of all earthly trappings... Facing your own soul and loving what you see.
You need to take the time to consult your inner voice so you can discover yourself. Once you discover that person, you need to very clearly decide what that person needs to feel fulfillment.
I can't tell you what that is. All I can say is that I believe that everything in the above list will add joy and happiness to your life only when those things are not what you look to for personal validation.
"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. - Anne Frank
Authentic happiness will be yours only after you get in touch with what that phrase means personally to you.
Change your life,
Matt
