Are You Happy? By Remez Sasson

Are you happy?

Are you happy now, at this very moment?

How much happiness do you experience in your daily life, versus unhappiness?

Someone tells you a nasty thing, and this make you feel unhappy for the rest of the day, with thoughts and feelings of anger filling your mind all day long.

How to Find Inner Peace

By Remez Sasson

I have revised today, one of my older articles about inner peace, titled, “How to Find Inner Peace and balance”.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

Inner peace and balance are of great importance in everyone’s life. They are highly valued by most people, though really few possess them. However, everyone can develop them, some more, and some less.

What do you gain by having inner peace and inner balance? You gain self-control, more discipline, and the ability not to let outside events influence your emotions, actions, reactions and decisions. Their presence in your life mean that you possess common sense and good judgment, and that the outside world cannot shake your inner world.

How many times have you been overwhelmed by emotions, lost your temper, and got angry or impatient?
How many times have you regretted about your reactions or attitude?
Do you shout at your children, spouse, co-workers or employees?
Do you get angry with them?
Are you happy with this situation?
Do you let your work, the weather, noises, other people’s behavior and attitude, movies, TV, or the newspapers influence the way you feel and think?
Do outside events distract your mind and make you think about them, instead of what you choose to think about?

All this means lack of inner peace and inner balance.

Their lack causes fluctuations of the emotions, lack of decisiveness, and wasting time on unnecessary thoughts, emotions and actions. So what is the remedy?

Is It Necessary to Control Anger?

Angry Monkey By Remez Sasson

Is it necessary to control anger? The answer is no! Controlling anger is not the best option.

Confused? I will make this clearer.

When you are angry, and you try to control the anger, one or more things might happen:

You will bottle up your anger, which is very unhealthy.

You will fight your anger, which means that you will focus your attention on it, trying to restrain it. However, what you focus on grows, so that though you try to control your anger, you get the opposite result. Focus your attention on controlling anger leads to inner fight, more attention paid to the anger, and consequently, more anger and frustration.

Anger is best controlled indirectly.

There are several things that you can do to avoid getting angry, or if you get angry, not let the anger grow. I have provided a few simple tips in my articles, but they don’t focus directly on controlling the anger. These tips can help you calm down, and they can help you prevent anger from culminating. You can use them in the various situations you encounter in your day-to-day life.

Are You Awake?

By Remez Sasson

Are you awake? I don’t mean awake in the usual sense of not sleeping. I am asking if you are really awake.

What does being awake mean?

Are you aware of opportunities that knock on your door?

Are you aware of how the people around you feel? Are you tactful enough in your relations with them?

Are you attentive when conversing people? Are you a good listener, or are you centered within your ego, not listening to the person talking to you?

Are you aware of your habits, and work on overcoming the negative ones and developing positive habits, instead?

Are you aware of the negative or useless thoughts that pass through your mind?

Are you aware of the sense of peace and happiness that is covered and hidden by your thoughts feelings and desires?

Acceptance Leads to Inner Peace

Inner Peace By Remez Sasson

There are certain things we can change in our life, but there are also things that we cannot change. If we keep worrying about them we lose our peace, but if we accept them, they stop being important, and we stop worrying about them. What we cannot change and cannot influence no matter what, should not be of concern to us.

People tend to focus and think about things which they have no control over. Why worry about something that worry will not change? Why care about what other people think of us, when we are not even sure what they are thinking about? Why worry about the weather, if we cannot change it? Why worry and feel concerned about other people actions, about which we have no control?
