Writing your autobiography can help you find meaning

Writing your story can help you organize your thoughts and find meaning in the experiences.  Write 3 chapters - one for the past, one for the present and one for the future. The Past Write down your past and what challenges you overcame,  what strengths you needed to get over your challenge  what you were most proud of. The Present Who are you now?  Write your life in the present.  What are your strengths now  what challenges do you currently face? The Future What is your ideal future?  How will your life be different from what it is now?  What did you do in the present to get to the future?

No prerequisites needed for Happiness

Happiness needs no prerequisites.  Just see the point of it: you can be happy right now as you are.   If you really want to be happy, then don't try to be happy. Just be happy. Who is blocking the way? Who is hindering you? Who is forcing you to be unhappy? But you say, "Right now I have to be unhappy, but tomorrow I would like to be happy.

This today was also tomorrow, yesterday.  And yesterday you had said, "I am going to be happy tomorrow."  If this is the way, if this is your logic, happiness is never going to happen.  It is already happening.   Just be happy. You give it a try.  Just for 24 hours remain happy.  Whenever you catch yourself getting unhappy again , try to be happy.  Shake the whole body and be happy again.  It is just a knack.  It has nothing to do with tomorrow or the future.  It is just a knack, an art. I have never seen any situation in which a m
