I am happy these days, life is wonderful. It is beautiful and when you are in this mood, you enjoy everything. You are jolly, you are happy and you meet people in this way. The usual reaction will be that people smile back at you, they are happy, too, that there is a person as happy as you and already you shared a little happiness with them.
However you might also get another experience which Thomas mentioned when I talked with him about this some time ago: some people don’t get happy, they seem to begin searching for something that could make you unhappy. They are jealous and think ‘Why are you so happy?’ and even if they do not realize it, even if it happens subconsciously, they are searching for something to say that could spoil your mood.
Did you ever experience a small mean remark of someone just at a moment when you were really happy? It can be a reminder of a part of your life that is not so well such as ‘That is great but what will your ex-wife/parents/boss think of that?’ or a try to make you afraid like ‘For now you can do this but think about the future/money/your children!’
Don’t let this get you down! If you are in a great mood, you can manage it, whatever will come. If you are happy, you can make connections with other people, you can share and spread your happiness. There are more people who are happy with you than those who are not. And for those who want to put you down, you actually need to see that they are not happy themselves. They need even more happiness than those who can smile with you. So stay smiling and reply ‘Everything will be fine, don’t worry!’

Nobody can get you down, if you have a strong will and your foundation of peace and happiness. You only have to be aware of your own power and strenght and recognize these moments, when others try to influence your mood.

Thank you for strength you give for others to be happy and enjoy life without getting guilty feelings. Nowadays people are so busy with stressing themselves, rushing from one appointment to another and if they have free time they are so scared of it that they will fill it up with more work just to keep themselves busy. Like the hamster in a wheel runing ... and runnig till they are physically and psychically so exhausted that there will be no space for other feelings beside of the pain this running is causing to them.... You give a beautiful explanation how energy works, would love to share this with my FB friends :)))

When we grow up we are taught that we should be careful whom we trust. So how could it be right to have faith in God, someone whom you never even met? Sometimes you even doubt whether he exists at all! So is it really a great idea to have faith in such a person?
SourceLearning is not only for children. Life can always teach you something, your age doesn’t matter. It is wonderful to be curious for something new, something you have not experienced yet.
SourceBonding a relation in terms like 'open', 'short term' or 'long term relationship' shows your insecurity and your doubts. It sounds like a contract. This may suit business relations but it doesn’t fit if you want to establish a relation on the physical, emotional and soul level.
SourceDear unmarried, Indian young people: Take the decisions of your life on your own. You need to take your responsibility for your marriage, you cannot blame your parents forever for your life.
SourceIndians have too many expectations on their women!
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he doesn’t take bribes from praying criminals and doesn’t encourage them by giving them success.
SourceWe don't need all these complicated philosophies. We just need to learn four letters: love. It is that simple. Live in love, believe in love and share love.
SourceSects create fear. Fear of life, fear of sins, fear of god. Believe in love, not in fear. There is no reason to be afraid. Love is God and God is love
SourceReligious people who want to be modern try to find a way to combine religion and science because one can survive without religion but not without science.
SourceIf 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!
SourceBeauty is not about physical appearance. We are not only the body, there is a soul and a beautiful soul is much more important than figure, colour or shape.
SourceWho are you to decide upon life or death? Who are you to decide whether a person should live or die? Who are you to torture another human being?
SourceYou did not tell your partner that you are cheating but you are trying to tell yourself that he or she would be fine with that. Anytime you do that, whenever you cheat your partner, you actually first cheat yourself with this lie.
SourceWhy do religions make people afraid? If the rules that they put up made sense, they wouldn't need to make others afraid, others would understand it on their own and follow them!
SourceDon’t worry what others think to find out what you feel for yourself.
SourceDon't enjoy being a victim. Don't keep your problems like companions but let them go.
SourceImportant is not how rich you are but how happy you are.
SourceIf you seek holes in everything and want to see the negative side, you will be affected more and more by negativity.
SourceIf you want to believe in the original form of Hinduism, you cannot convert to it. You are either Hindu-born or you are non-Hindu. If you follow any Guru or sect, you are a member of a Hindu-based sect or cult, not a Hindu!
SourceLove can exist without sex but sex has to be with love.
