Almost everyone has heard the hit single "Don’t Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin. The song has a very catchy way of conveying its message of being happy. Bobby Mcferin’s simple message surely made a lot of people feel better by telling them not to worry.

Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful, and is good for your health. Being happy actually helps protect you from the stresses of life. And by now, we all know stress is linked to the top causes of death such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.

To be happy is relatively easy. Just decide to be a happy person. Abraham Lincoln observed that most people, for most of the time, can choose how happy or stressed, how relaxed or troubled, how bright or dull their outlook on life to be. He coined the phrase "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." The choice is simple really. Choose to be happy.

Happiness can be found in everyone. Increasing our happiness is a way to make our lives more wonderful and healthier. Here are several ways you can do this:

Attitude of Gratitude -Being grateful is a great attitude. We have so much for which to be thankful. Thank the taxi driver for bringing you home safely. Thank the cook for a wonderful dinner and thank the guy who cleans your windows. Thank the mail carrier for bringing your mail. Thank the police officer for making your place safe, and thank God for being alive.

Total Recall - Remember the happiest past events in your life. Keep pictures or mementos of these events in your home or office where you will see them daily.

I’m one of those lucky ones who have a Best Friend to call my very own. This encounter has also given me reason enough to consider Friendship as one of the best things in life. It has taught me to see light in many circumstances and helped me to create memories out of the many ordinary moments in life. It has also enabled me to survive many trying moments and given me the strength to face the world again even when my hopes had hung low on a thin thread.

I remember going to school and looking forward to share my little thoughts with a dear friend and how even recesses weren’t quite enough to let it all out. We would chatter and laugh over our little talks till the bell rang and we would rush back to our benches, still looking for chances to whisper our little ideas. And when the last school bell rang, we would walk home talking our talks still. The world could seem such a lovely place in the presence of a lovely friend.

Then when High school was about getting over, I felt the pinch of parting with the friends I’ve made over the years and even though we knew we’d have to follow different roads then, we still wished we could get into the same college and pursue our studies if only to keep our friendship safe. Somehow, some of the best years seemed to have been spent on high school. But when all memories have turned golden and time and space have conquered age, it was time we moved on, nearer and closer to the future.

However, when things were changing in a rapid pace-modernization replacing old ways of living, education growing in leaps and bounds, technology replacing old means of doing things, you know fashion and gadgets turning the themes of the day and all things have gone from old to new every passing day, we are still human enough to need a companion to share and to give, to support and to encourage, to listen and to watch, to dream together and to laugh, to give a smile when the other needs one, to offer a hug and a hand when life turns and twists. We still know that deep inside, we are lonely souls in need of friends to bring out the best in us.

Faith is things hoped for

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen. Those things we can see and have knowledge of are part of our experience while those things we can’t see we must accept in faith: Material things are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Every day, we unconsciously exhibit faith; driving our car, crossing a bridge, flying on an airplane as well as many other things; we have faith in their safety and trustworthiness. It is in faith of our belief that we are able to reduce fear and anxiety to acceptable levels. While we believe something is going to work we still must have trust and have faith in its validity.

Science bends truth

Science tends to reduce faith to understanding while not explaining human confidence. If we are to know the spiritual value of faith, then, within our mind, we must practice its acceptance, Wherever anything enters our thought that refutes the reality of our belief then, in complete confidence, we must clarify to ourselves the reason this destructive thought of doubt has no power; you will find that the explanation are in the cure.

All reasoning’s are built upon the belief, the convention, the faith that we are living in a spiritual world and everything is subject to certain laws. All discord stems from a misunderstanding or misdirection of this profound principle. While discord is a denial of truth it in no way changes its reality.

Our experiences validate reality

In order to experience accord (good) there also must be the possibility of discord (evil). At one time mankind believed the world was flat but this belief didn’t make it a reality. Truth is always truth no matter how many people believe differently. Here is where caution comes in. Believe only in truth.

The big problem in the world of today is, what is truth? Every day truth is stretched a little farther, a little tighter until one day it will lash back. and cripple the very society that preached its importance. Two times two is always four. If a architect started building a building on the assumption that two times two equals five, in using this wrong calculation, the further along the building got, the farther off the measurements would be. Ignorance never changes the laws of nature, but it does restrict our use of them.

The Importance of faith

I can’t stress enough, we must acquire an energizing faith. We must practice mental and spiritual enthusiasm, every day, in every situation. We can never be too careful to remember this, or too be clear in affirming it. A reviving faith is the realized belief which gives validity to the law.

Thanks to my summer offer of free professional dream translation I have met many different people on the internet and I have seen what their problems were.

This is why I decided to urgently write an e-book giving guidance to young people about how they can discover the right person for them and keep them near them for life, this way keeping their happiness for life.

I received very many dreams about love matters. And the interesting point is that these dreams are the clearest ones, what means that anyone can easily learn how to interpret them.

So, I made a combination, and I prepared two e-books in order to help young people start their lives in a balanced way, so that they’ll find happiness and keep it for as long as they live, and I prepared also an e-book that shows them clearly how they can interpret dreams about the person they love.

What I want to tell you today is that you should never agree to have a relationship without love.

For example, I received two dreams from a young boy who saw a nightmare and was afraid about its meaning. The first dream explained the second one, which was the nightmare.

His biography also confirmed and explained his dreams. This is why we have to know a few details about the dreamer’s life in order to properly translate his or her dreams.

His story is somehow complicated, because his dreams revealed the existence of a neurotic tendency in his behavior. So, his dreams are not simple dreams, like the ones I mentioned before.

When we observe a neurotic characteristic, the dream indispensably needs translation and the dreamer indispensably needs psychotherapy.

In his first dream he sees his girlfriend sad and he kisses her, ending up kissing her passionately, but awakening up with a weird feeling that he couldn’t say that was love…

Many people are still sending me their dreams and their short biographies for professional dream translation, thanks to my summer offer.

What I could observe in too many cases is that they don’t have any notion about the meaning of immorality or about the meaning of futility. Their biographies are full of moral mistakes and full of misconceptions about everything.

If you abandon your husband or wife and your kids because you are in love with someone else, the truth is that you don’t deserve to be happy, because you provoke too much suffering to the others.

Most people don’t understand this simple truth though, which is based on the reality of the human life.

If you make a serious moral mistake, betraying your husband or wife and abandoning your children, you will be punished without a doubt, because you cannot destroy other people’s lives with your selfish decisions, without having to bear the bitter consequences of this destruction.

If you abandon your husband or wife in order to live with a man or woman you don’t really know, you may get involved with a person that will only make you suffer, while you believe you’ll feel better because you are in love with them.

Happiness in life depends on very many things… You cannot be happy in any way you may imagine, especially if you don’t respect other human beings.

Only a futile and ignorant mind can believe that something good can result from a moral mistake, but unfortunately, this is what happens with too many people.

If you try to find your happiness while you despise everyone else’s happiness, you can only end up in despair, and regret very much all your sins, even if in the beginning you feel happy with a new relationship.

I once talked to a very successful business man, a guy that has more money than he can find things to do with. He did not seem to try hard to get rich as other rich people I knew. He was rich and money seemed to come to him easily. He had this advice:

"Follow what you love and money will follow you"

At the time, it did not totally sink in. Today, I understand completely what he meant.

When you do something that you love, you do not ‘try hard" to do it, your stress level is very low. You seem to play instead of working. You can work for very long hours without much effort. When you are doing something that you do not like, you have to try hard, convince yourself of the use of what you are doing and fight the natural tendency not to do it. Everything seems unnatural.

The course of action to achieve any goal is the same for every goal. This may sound confusing but there is a formula to achieve goals and reach objectives. The following formula can take the form of an outline or be a list of highlighted or bulleted topics like the ones below.

A: Choose a goal:
To achieve a goal you must first have a goal. Many people think goals are "I wanna’s". I wanna new car. I wanna go on a nice vacation. I wanna make a lot of money. These are all nice things to have but throw your likes and wanna’s out the door. Pick something that you absolutely must have this year no matter what it takes.
 
B: Identify Main Reason:
Once you have chosen your goal, identify several very big reasons for why you must have this goal. For instance what will you be able to do after you achieve this goal that you cannot do now? A goal to buy a car because you cannot get to work without it is quite a big reason. After you reach this goal you will be able to get to work. It is important to make sure your reasons are big and persuasive.
 
C: Write it Down:
Write down what you want. Once a goal is committed to paper it becomes real and not just some idea floating around in your head. Mental notes do not stay in your brain. The human brain has about thirty-seven seconds to recall an idea before it begins to lose its shape. This is another important reason to write it down right away.
