One of the most popular questions asked is what can a person do to experience more joy or happiness sooner? This query arises in the mind to suggest obstacles exist to happiness. Consider the following ways to experience more joy now;
1) Be aware no word or anything you think you see has meaning except that which you give it
2) Recognize problems do not exist (The only problem is how you are using the mind or how it has been programmed)
3) Notice scarcity is just a thought (as are mental patterns that prevent you from seeing things as they are)
4) Realize perceived time is an illusion (everything you want is already here when you see through a pure heart rather than the conditioned mind)
5) Observe all that exists is the eternal now moment — and your experience of this moment is created by the programming in your head. (i.e. what you can have; who you can be, etc.)
6) Be aware feelings of security or insecurity arise due to emotional programming. (it can also be deprogrammed)
7) See happiness and joy are not obtainable from the external world. (This is your core state.)
8) Watch everything from a deep, calm place inside. (Here, thoughts and emotions no longer control you or hijack your attention. Insights are revealed so you flow with the river of life.)
