Numerous studies show that people who experience real happiness from the inside out see the good in everyone and everything.
They are able to see it because they see the good in themselves from the inside out. Their perception of themselves has shifted from bad to good. As a result, their perception of others follows suit. They not only have high self-regard, they have high regard for others too.
Exploration and Discovery: Take an inventory of what is good in your life and society in general. List all that is good. Repetitively practice with deliberate intention giving your attention to the good in yourself, your life, and society. Pay attention to how much good you are able to see.
People who experience real happiness from the inside out don’t need anyone or anything to make them happy. Their happiness is self-dependent. They think themselves into feeling happy. Let’s have some fun and make it a happy thinking-feeling-doing loop. Begin with one happy thought. This one happy thought will kindle a happy feeling and the happy feeling will ignite happy behaviors. Acting happy prompts more happy thoughts which generate more happy feelings and actuates more happy behaviors and the happiness loop continues on without end.
Self-dependent people are able to accept coaching and support from others. And because they have become Good With Me they no longer require themselves to know everything about everything because they now approve of themselves just the way they are.
