Everyone Deserves To Be Happy

Believing that you deserve happiness should be a given, but it is amazing how many people do not really believe that they deserve the happiness that life has to offer. Another thing that most people don’t realize is that they are in control of their happiness. Yes, you create your own happiness.

To be happy we must first realize that true and meaningful happiness comes from within. Sure, there are moments of fleeting happiness when something happens that brings this emotion on, such as a raise at work, our wedding day, etc. These are good reasons to be happy, but if you really stop to think about it, they are only temporary. The happiness can fade quickly unless we nurture our happiness from within.
The one thing that blocks our happiness more than anything else is the belief that we won’t achieve complete happiness because we don’t really deserve to be happy. This is more common that you would believe.
To achieve happiness, you must first believe that you deserve that happiness. Of course you may believe on the surface, but if there is even a hint of a doubt, a little voice that whispers in your ear that you simply can’t have that which you seek, then you are setting yourself up for failure.
This little doubt is the product of past negative experiences and how you perceived these experiences. Instead of treating the negative as a type of lesson to learn and grow from, you likely let the negativity cast permanent shadows on your life.
The shadow of doubt that rests over you has successfully programmed you into believing that you do not deserve happiness, therefore you feel you must simply accept whatever life throws your way. This acceptance is a sure way of self-destructing and embracing unhappiness.
So how do you change this so that you know you deserve happiness and actually give yourself a chance of achieving that happiness? The very first thing you must do is silence that inner voice of its negative whispers. When you decide that you want something that you know can make you happy, as soon as those doubts start, push them away with positive thoughts. Eventually, you will reprogram your subconscious into accepting the fact that happiness is possible and you deserve it.
Think about all the wonderful things you do have in your life. When something great does happen, give yourself a pat on the back instead of thinking it is a small miracle that it happened. Think to yourself that you knew that it would probably happen that way because you do deserve it.
The secret to happiness is allowing it to come into your life. Everyone is born with the ability to have all they could ever want out of life; it is a simple matter of knowing you can have it, believing you deserve it, and then letting it happen.
