There are 3 immutable laws for living a happy life. You have probably heard these before. Law #1 - Discover Yourself, Law #2 - Fall in Love with Yourself, Law #3 - Be Loving to Others. As simple as this sounds lets take a look at what it really means.
#1 - Finding yourself is not easy for most people. That's because society has conspired to hide you from yourself from the day you were born. This conspiracy is not evil -- the intention was good -- but still our society generally believes it's necessary to protect us from ourselves. So instead we are told to be like others or to behave like some ideal held up to us as the correct model for living.
The fact is, you are perfect just as you are. Your challenge is to discover that perfection within yourself. You don't have to be the same as everyone else. In fact, God forbid if you were ... what a boring world that would be! You need to find your unique passions and treasure them, because they define who you are. Learn what really attracts you in life and pursue it whole heartedly.
Passion is the key, for it is your essence expressing itself by simply enjoying who you are. That which you are passionate about will lead you to yourself. If you think you have no passion, you are wrong ... we all do. you can find it through your curiosity, likes, dislikes and anything that really attracts you on any level -- emotionally, intellectually or spiritually.
#2 - Loving yourself is the next task. Once you know who you are, you must learn to appreciate that person just as you would your own child. There is something truly lovable about you as there is everyone. Give yourself credit for being someone worthy of your love.
Never sell yourself short, no matter what others may think or say. When it comes to yourself, only you have the opinion that counts. And that opinion must always be in favor of you. You must recognize your worth and realize your value. You are special and worthy and you should never let anyone persuade you otherwise.
#3 - Love Others. You know, if you can see the good in yourself, you will also see it in others for we all share the same core goodness. And if you cannot see the good in others, you will also miss it in yourself. So love others no matter how they may appear or act ... that's just surface stuff. By loving them you will also help them to realize their own goodness.
Others are a mirror of yourself because by the law of universal attraction, you attract to yourself the exact people and circumstances you need for growth and to take the next step in your evolution. That means often others are showing you parts of yourself you may not want to acknowledge. Consider all people your teachers, because by your reactions to them you have the opportunity to learn about yourself.
And there you have it ... the three secrets to leading a happier life. Even though most of this may sound familiar don't discount it. Its familiar for a reason ... because its true and you will keep hearing it until you get it. the universe intends for you to master these three universal truths and you can't graduate to ultimate happiness until you do.
