My new values in life…..

I came back from a one week holiday. Just a week.
I felt good to be with my parents, my brother and my sister. My sister got pregnant recently.
Kind of big news for the whole family. You cannot stop life. That means there will be a wedding happening soon. I love weddings. Who doesn’t right? Great food, lot of fun, dancing with girls, drinking with elders, taking pics, whatever. Everybody is happy. Just happy.
I was reading great books last week. I love books. There is so much wisdom in some of them. Like in this one: Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial by Anthony Robbins. I found many good references and concepts in this book that I find very helpful.
The one I want to write about is the concept of values. Each of us has values that are important to you. And you live according to these values. Sometimes more and sometimes less. It depends on how much you are committed to your values and how much you pay attention to them.
To me happiness is very important. And I consciously decided so. Life is short. Why to worry all the time? Since the moment I decided to be happy no matter what my life changed 180 degrees. I used to worry a lot. About anything – finances, failing, weather, marriage, success, my child. You name it. I do not any more.
And my happiness do not depends on external circumstances. I just choose for myself to be happy. Once you know your most important value and you follow through, then your whole life will turn in the direction of your most significant value.
It may be hard to believe but the outside world is just a reflection of your inner world. If your inner world says happiness then the outside world also says happiness. You will subconsciously look for places, situations, people that will bring you happiness. It does not come from outside unless you create it inside. And it means you choose so much in your life.
If you choose something else like health, then you will direct all your energy and concentration towards health.
You can also choose other values along the first one. You can create a list of your values. The values that are further down your list are less important then the values on the top.
Your values should also be easy to accomplish. Why? Because if you have a lot of “ifs” that condition living in accordance with your values then it can get difficult. To follow your values should be relatively easy.
I choose to be happy no matter what. How do I do that? I just look for things, situations, opportunities, chances that make me happy. I know sport make me happy, so I do sports. Follow my dream makes me happy so I follow my dream. Talking to people who understand me and love me makes me happy, so I do this regularly.
Whatever value you want to live you can. Just choose one and think about it everyday at least couple of minutes. The ideas will come and change your life. Try it.
