There are many ways to approach getting happy. Yes, it is something you do, not something which is mysteriously bestowed on some, but not on others. If you find yourself thinking "yeah...little does she know what kind of life I have had!", instead of feeling curious, you have demonstrated to yourself one of the ways you keep happiness at bay.
That both happiness and unhappiness is a product of our thinking has entered the mainstream finally, after centuries of ignoring the wisdom of wisdom from Buddha, Rumi, Aristotle, and many others. Most of us process external circumstances unconsciously. This makes it seem as if circumstances cause our feelings, behavior, and what comes into our life. It seems as if we are the effect of external causes over which we have no control.

These are the secrets of happiness from Bill Harris:
First, happy people acknowledge that they are creating their reality internally and externally.
They see circumstances as an influence, but know that what they do inside creates how the feel and behave, and what people and situations they draw to themselves. Even if they cannot see how they are creating whatever is happening, they take responsibility.
Another characteristic of happy people is that their actions are the result of the possibilities they see. Where the unhappy person sees a challenge as impossible, the happy person sees what is possible. And, by focusing on what is possible, happy people make those possibilities come true.
A third characteristic of happy, successful people: They focus their minds on what they want and keep their mind off what they do not want.
The final characteristic: Happy people are consciously aware. As a result, their brains are less likely to run on automatic, creating internal states...and external outcomes....they did not intend and do not want.

Bill Harris explains so well what my work with PSYCH-K and Energy Alignment is about. I assist with the refocus of the mind, body, and spirit, especially that untapped unconscious part which runs your life 95% of the time. Notice the word "assist". I do no magic. It is the client who produces the magic....with just a little help from me.
