Happiness in spite of Envious Others – 6 May 10

You are currently viewing Happiness in spite of Envious Others – 6 May 10

I am very happy these days. Life is just beautiful and although it is raining outside, the sun is shining here in this house. It was a nice time again in Luneburg with my friends Michael and Andrea. It is now the last evening here because tomorrow morning we will start with the train to Copenhagen. We are looking forward to that, too. You need to have happiness and love in your life, you need to feel the charm in everything.

I know that there are sometimes people who seem to feel bad whenever you feel good, people who cannot be happy with you but who try to make you feel bad with them. Actually it is their own unhappiness and the belief that they are in a bad situation. They feel bad and miserable and want to have company in that. Of course when someone feels good, they will feel more miserable seeing that! They envy happiness of others instead of realizing that they have their own happiness just in their reach.

But I am happy, we are happy and enjoying life and love with whatever it brings.

    Some people use anger and accusation to bring you down. Others use sadness and despair. I think it both cases the unhappy people are just trying to make sense of life. They think “life is misery” so they make other people miserable in order to help their lives make sense in their own minds. It is a dangerous cycle to be caught in. Sometimes, if a personal can be happy amidst the misery of others it can help them think twice about the sense of the cycle they are creating. But creating misery is much easier, it makes more sense to many more people.Be happy. it is not something you necessarily work towards, it is something you are or are not in a particular moment.

    What a splendid photo. You and Romona look as happy as ever. I want to thank you for the time on the Ashram. My husband and I learned a lot from being with your family and we really enjoyed ourselves.

    It is hard to be around people who envy your happiness and want to bring you down. You can try to cheer them up, but sometimes they don’t want to change the way they feel. In that case, I think it’s good to get some space from them. Their energy may spoil your good vibe and they aren’t particularly enjoying your good vibe anyway! So go enjoy yourself and reconnect with that person later. Life is too short to have our good moods be spoiled by others.

    Would you agree that happiness is a decision that people make when they wake up in them morning, it isn’t something that simply comes upon you, but you decided to be depressed, decide to be angry, choose to wear a frown or a smile. I personally choose to be happy simply because life is so much more pleasant and people are happy around you when you are happy.
