Your Happiness Recipe
You need wisdom to be happy -- the wisdom to know what happiness really is, and how to become happy. More importantly, you need the wisdom to know who you really are, and not who you wish you were. Without this wisdom, you will be striving and struggling for happiness, which is forever unattainable to you.
Happiness is a positive emotional condition. You feel good about yourself. It is about feelings of sustained joy over an event or through a period of time. It can be the quiet joy of a parent looking on his or her sleeping child; it can also be the intense joy of a sports fan over scoring a winning goal.
Happiness is all about life satisfaction: getting what you most care about in your life; that is, you see your life as having enough of the things you care about, even though you may not feel happy all the time. In general, the satisfaction of life gives you an overall feeling of happiness.
Many Americans report that they are not very happy in their day-to-day life and living; evidently, something is missing for most Americans. Therefore, it is important to address this issue of unhappiness that may have an impact on their overall health and well-being.
Also, it is important to develop our own recipes for happiness through looking at ancient wisdom from the East and the West, conventional wisdom, and spiritual wisdom.
A happiness recipe is like a GPS that guides us in the direction of the different destinations we are heading. Some of us may choose the highways; others may prefer local or toll-free routes. Likewise, a happiness recipe is a matter of personal choice and preference, based on each individual’s own past and present life experiences, as well as the core values of that individual.
Core values are not life goals, which have to be pursued and achieved in order to give an individual happiness; core values, on the other hand, are beliefs of an individual in humanity that have to be lived, rather than just being acknowledged, in order to fully experience the innate happiness in humanity. Remember, your core values are your beliefs that are meaningful only to you, giving you happiness now and then. They may be something held in common by many people, or they may not be. Your core values are meaningful only to you, regardless of whether they are meaningful to anyone you know. Therefore, you do not have to remodel your life to live the core values of others. Of course, you may want to adapt your life to transform yourself if you appreciate some of the core values of others. That explains why you need creativity to try a new recipe, or change some of the ingredients in your current recipe.
Remember, you are living a life in which you spend a lot of your time engaged in actions that are an expression of your core values, as well as a reflection of the person you are meant to be. These actions, or rather your perceptions by your thinking mind of these actions, give you happiness or unhappiness-that is why you need wisdom to take these right actions.
Bottom line: it is humanly possible to be happier more of the time and to experience higher quality happiness than you have ever felt before. Just learn from some of the real-life examples expressed, and become wiser and happier!

Appreciate the miracle of letting go to let God in order to live as if everything is a miracle.
