Don't Expect the World to Provide You with Happiness.

In our modern world, we have become too complacent to rely on external conditions to provide us with the boost of happiness, joy, or satisfaction.

We expect the eternal world to fuel us with emotions, objects we can get that dopamine hit later on.

In fact, the world does not owe you anything.

In fact, that source of fuel is inside you.

That intention behind your action will always provide you with the equivalent outcome.

We give life to emotions by reliving certain situations and reacting to them in the same manner, over and over again.

We get into a spiral of thoughts.

Those thoughts and emotions create lenses through which we condition the world around us.

Through our emotions, state of being, assumptions we influence the external world, not the other way around. We are the ones who set energy in motion. Thus, we are the ones who get to control it.

Our belief system can construct walls and hold us captive within. We cannot move upwards or outside it unless we acknowledge them, work with them to eventually change our expectations, thus circumstances of our lives.

Our attitude towards life determines life’s attitude towards us.

- Earl Nightingale

Do you count on kindness from others?

Then act, think and most importantly, feel kindly towards the world.

Instead of attracting, be it.

You cannot attract love, you can only reflect it and be able to perceive it in the world around you.

Avoid placing yourself in the victim narrative. Do not pity yourself. Do not manipulate others to feel compassion for you.

Spread kindness all around you, even if somebody may not deserve this, in your opinion, but that is not your call to decide.

Your beliefs create your reality and the people you surround yourself with. What qualities you cultivate inside your mind are the equivalents you will construct in the physical world.

Those feelings must come from the heart, as it is the place where all begins. Open your heart to the greatness and beauty of this world, and the reality will speak to you the likewise words of kindness.

Do you wish for love?

Become pure love. Be in love with your life, your personality, your ideas.

Project love onto animals and nature.

Share love with people all over the world, whether in your physical surroundings or through support on social media.

But most of all: love yourself.

Show it through taking care of your body, setting up healthy boundaries, excitedly showing up for yourself every single day, doing things for your pleasure, and not for somebody else's. Especially not because someone expects you to act according to their wishes.

Choose you. You are the embodiment of pure love. If you cannot recognize it yet, it is so because of all the opinions, criticism, and beliefs of others thrown at you. You may let them believe their truth, but that does not need to constitute your paradigm.

When you become love, only things that match this essence can come to you.

Do you want prosperity?

Notice abundance and well-being all around you.

Become the energy of abundance to somebody else.

Appreciate the luxury of your home, of your transportation on this planet.

Acknowledge the beauty of nature that surrounds you.

Bless the innovation of your times: electricity, high technology, fast and wireless communication.

How often do we take such luxuries for granted? Enjoy it. Be eager for more. There is nothing shameful about expansion. You are the creator. You are the visionner. Let's celebrate this magnificent contrast of varieties and possibilities we are all a part of.

Whatever you wish to receive, first you need to become it.

If you react with anger and frustration, that is exactly what you are going to harvest. If your deeds are motivated by jealousy or vengeance, the outcome will bounce right back at you.

Resentment, anger, jealousy, pain, hurt, and depression are poisons that you drink but expect someone else to die.

- Sadhguru

When you agree to an invitation out of frustration, you can only offer irritation and get more of it eventually.

However, when you do something out of joy, generosity, kindness, out of alignment with your soul, it is bound to bring more delight, satisfaction, and well-being into your life.

If you buy something and regret spending that money, it will always disappear eventually, one way or another. The item you have purchased may not serve you well or become the source of your annoyance.

If you step into the relationship out of fear or loneliness, this relationship will make you even more powerless.

Whatever you water your plant with, it grows.

Love, joy, appreciation, harmony are fertilizers. You choose what you cultivate your world with.

Lay the foundation of your deed first. When you pour love into any investment, it will always turn out magnificently. When you believe in something unshakeably, it will always come true.

Being mindful of our state of being is not a luxury, but a necessity in our lives.

Become aware of all the questions you ask yourself, for the universe will always provide you with signs and guidance.

Ask powerful questions:

• What is my purpose on this planet?
• How can I be of service to my growth?
• How can I promote wellness and abundance throughout my life?

In the wake of asking powerful questions, you will always receive a powerful answer.

After all,

If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.

― Eckhart Tolle
