Happiness 101

The meaning of life is to be happy. But no one ever taught you how. It was simply assumed you knew how, or would learn how as you grew older. The problem was and is, very few people know the techniques of being happy, so they can’t pass them along.

You are not stuck anymore, not knowing how to be happy. I am here to help. You need no tools. You don’t have to buy special clothes or outfits. No special text books or courses. (Although there are lots of good courses on the Internet on how to meditate. Google them.)

Here it is, plain and simple. Yes, as hinted at in the paragraph just before this one, meditation is the technique most needed to find happiness and the meaning of life. It is so simple that some folks will dismiss it out-of-hand. Don’t be one of those. Sometimes the simplest things in life are the most profound and useful.

Let just take one way of meditating. Some have called reflective meditation. Find a quiet place, where the quiet will last for about 15 minutes. Sit comfortably but not so comfortably that you will tend to fall asleep. (Though falling asleep is one of the gentle hazards of meditation.) Then generate a concept in your mind. Let ‘s just use “joy” today.

For about 15 minutes, with your eyes closed, contemplate the concept of joy. What does it mean for you? What does it mean in your life? When was the last time you felt joy? When is the next time you anticipate feeling joy? Do you see how you “roll” it around in your mind, thinking of joy’s many angles and planes. (When you mind wanders, and it will, just gently bring it back to the contemplation of joy. A wandering mind is a natural phenomenon and nothing to be in the least alarmed about.)
Technique
I can almost guarantee that when you will do this kind of reflective meditation about 15 minutes each day, you will obtained for yourself one way to find the meaning of life which is to be happy. Here is a short list of other ideas to reflective meditated upon: gratitude, love, playfulness, peace, freedom, energy, humor, calm.
