Happiness as a New Year Resolution

Happiness as a New Year Resolution - 1 Jan 10

01 Jan 2010 Vrindavan, India

Ramona asked me today about my resolutions for this year and I answered: ‘I will be happy, I am happy.’ If I see myself, there are so many reasons to be! I am very satisfied with our situation, my family is healthy, many friends from all over the world wished us a happy new year, too. And this is just what I want to make my resolution: a happy new year.

I have said many times that being happy is the best way of worshipping god because what else could make Him happier than this? This is what I want to share with everyone. Be happy, it is your decision to be happy, to see the positive side of life, to enjoy what is there instead of missing what is not there or what you think should be there. You have every possibility to be happy! And with this I wish you all a very happy new year!

Now I will go and start the year with the full moon distance healing meditation enjoying light, love and happiness with people all over the globe!

Words of Wisdom

Responsibility

You have to take responsibility for your life. You can make a change, nobody else can do that for you.
Source
Religion

Religion teaches that you should not be completely happy. People are harder to control when they are happy and when they are not afraid. Another reason not to follow any religion – because you want to be happy, not afraid.
Source
Psychology

Don't try to control everything!
Source
Change

If you experience something, don’t be shy to change your opinion, even if it is the opposite of what you thought before. Change if you believe it is necessary to change, otherwise it will cost you your happiness. If you change when it is right to change, you will see that new doors open for a better future.
Source
God

God doesn’t want to own a house or a temple, he is just there, living in our heart. It is the greed of people who want to own land – and if they can possess it on the name of God, they do.
Source
Fear

Scare your fear away by being alive.
Source
Religion

Religious preaching is a performing art, not a divine act.
Source
Hope

You need hope to believe, to survive and live. This whole world and everybody keeps on breathing because of hope.
Source
God

You should not trust god completely because if you do, you will die, waiting for him to come and help you! Fool god, tell him that you believe in him and have full faith while you would never actually trust him that much!
Source
Expectations

Don't expect more of yourself than your natural limits allow!
Source
Happiness

You have everything that you need now! You have every reason to be happy! Be happy and love your life!
Source
Meditation

If you have practice of meditation, you are able to focus and decide what you want to think of. Through meditation and focus you can not only close the door of your office but also the door of your mind to work related topics in order to truly relax.
Source
Emotions

The western system fails – it calculates money but emotions have no space in that equation.
Source
Religion

Sadhu or Sanyasi means detached. Today's Sadhu ridiculously contradicts his title with his display of gold and wealth!
Source
Hope

If you don’t have hopes, dreams and expectations you won’t be happy. Dream, hope, let your imagination fly and simultaneously use your brain, hands and feet in order to make your dreams become reality!
Source
Responsibility

Karma is in many ways just a very easy way for irresponsible people to accept bad events and not try to change anything in their behavior or their thinking.
Source
Happiness

If you always only think of the happiness of others, you forget your own happiness. When you have established your own happiness with what you do and with who you are, when you accept your heart, your personality and your own life, then you can help others to find their happiness.
Source
Life

Please do what you enjoy. Enjoy your life! It is too short not to enjoy it. And you can have the trust that even if you do not know what it will be good for in your future, if you stop worrying you will see that there will be the right thing at the right time for you.
Source
Sex

If you think people should have only sex when they are going for a long-term relationship, then act like it and just don’t have sex with someone who is clear that he won’t marry you or have children with you. It is not fair to blame that person afterwards.
Source
Superstition

Doctors in India often have signs against evil energies at the main entrance door of their practices. In hospitals there are signs saying ‘We serve, he cures’. Many doctors don’t work on Thursdays, as they believe it is a bad day for people to go to the doctor – they might have to come back, because actions on Thursdays always are repeated. Superstitious people even make medicine a question of superstition!
