lessons on happiness

hello all,

so i have found my favorite place to eat in the world ...it is pretty much a Chinese style food place ..but not americanized ..so its much healthier to eat .

anyway .. i got into a chat with the owner yesterday..who house is built on the back of the eatery ..and then she let me chat away with the girls working for her while they had downtime ..

all the girls are very attractive two of the girls really pretty ..but even though they work 12 hours a day 6 or seven days a week for very little pay.. the all had very nice smiles that they would hide if they cought me looking lol .

anyway today i was in there again ..which i will be in there every day untill next week when i fly back to the Us .

and Nizel commented when i said something about the smiles ..plus they would sing as well .. ..basically .. the comment was why be miserable.

I realize i have been smiling a lot more in the last two months than most of my life..because no one here will stop you and ask for an explination on why your happy.. or make you feel guilty ..for being happy about what you have ..when so many have nothing at all .

and then you get the people who will remind you of your problems .. or maybe that is just my family ..what ever .

though i have to go back to the US .. I am going to be putting my effort into getting my financial stuff settled , and continuing the weight loss i have started in the last 2 months . for the near future in terms of the next few years .. i only want to own enough stuff to fit in a suit case and a carry on .. as you can rent a fully furnished condo many places in the world ..for a small amount of money .

it is just so much easier to be happy ..when you are not being bombarded by the millions of reason in the western world .. to be worried and stressed out and miserable..

A few years ago i was probably one of the most miseable people you could meet outside a prison cell or a rehab facility .. if you saw me you could have easily noticed..that guy hates life .

I might be a few years away from telling people how i got rich and how they could do it too..

but i do know what i have done to go from absolutely miserable for years .. to running on anger with brief period of feeling good last year to being happy quite a bit

the first thing was to destroy the list of reason to be miserable , then change what you can in your environment that causes misery, and if the people around you are a big factory . move to a new environment and do not allow people around you who look for reasons to be unhappy .

you do not have to do anything to be happy ..it is the natural state you should be in. what you need to do..is stop finding and creating so many reasons to be miserable and unhappy .
