The secret of my own happiness - Socially shy but open to the world

Music is magic for me, it's some pure action. I don't have to focus on the results of the action, I just have to put my focus on the action on itself. The result often come by itself... In a non-expected way.

You can play the video and continue to read if you want to add some "lyrics" to the tune. Or you can just listen and watch. <3

Happiness

We all have our own way to experiment and find happiness. And there is an infinite number of possibilities, by mixing and modifying all your purposes in life. (You could write entire libraries on the subject)

A lot of people are searching happiness in others. They hope that someone will one day enter in their life, someone that will enlighten their days, and spit rainbows on them. And if they don't manage to find this person, or lose her friendship after a while: they start to put the blame on others, or even themselves. They end up depressed, start to envy others' life, and suffer.
But the thing is that most of human's suffering is useless. We just inflict it to ourselves as long as we let the mental take the control on our lives.

The truth is that you don't need anyone to find happiness! For sure, having people that you love and who love around you, will help a lot. But if you, for example, think about Tibetan's Monk: They can isolate themselves from everyone for weeks without doing anything interesting but meditating. (It can be much more than interesting) They just focus themselves on their inner state, trying to harvest love, not trying to understand, just trying to feel life's energy, feel the entire universe vibrating, in a total ecstasy.

It means we don't need anything to be happy! (But a good health and No physical-pain)
We just need to decide it! You can tell yourself right now "I'm happy", and you'll certainly feel happier than before. But if you tell to yourself "I'm really sad, I don't know why", you will feel sad. We all have this great power, the power to choose our inner state. But this power doesn't stop to ourselves, it can directly influence others. That's why we often hear the expressions: Good/Bad Vibes. You spread unconsciously your emotions, in vibrating waves, to your social environment.

So when you realize you have this power, you can start to have a good or bad influence on you and the others. You just have to use it wisely, find the balance between sharing your positivity and keeping it for you.

Who am I?

When my thoughts won't let me alone, when they try to tell me non-stop: "Hey! Think about this thing you said, think about that thing you didn't do, remember about the bad things this guy told you 1 year ago, think about...". I just observe these thoughts and say: I am neither my thoughts, neither my feeling, neither my sensory perceptions, neither my experiences. I am not the content of my life. I am life! I am in the space where everything is happening. I am consciousness. I am the present. I am. (Thanks to Eckhart Tolle for learning me that)

Now try something: Make the void and tell to yourself: "What will be my next thought?" If you're really attentive, you'll feel a really pleasant sensation, and the next thought will never come, as long as you stay present. (Some people are not used to it, and the brain really want something to think of, it may require some training)

Only void?

If you manage to make the void, you have then to fulfill yourself with something creative.
Music for example, to make love with the universe. I believe music is somehow the language of feelings.

Or I also try to put myself in motion, with juggling, jumping, dancing, ... Do it with a friend or alone. I often prefer to do it alone because individuality is expressing herself marvelously in motion.

Motion is for sure one of the main purpose of life itself...

A goal is nothing, but motion is everything. Music, emotions, atoms, life, universe... Everything is motion.

So my friends, put yourself in motion on your keyboard. You'll maybe find some happiness and pleasure writing me a comment. Haha.

Sending to you all the loves waves that I manage to generate!
