Happiness. Its Between Our Ears!
Happiness is something we all seek, yet few of us find -Some search for it an acquiring material possessions -Some search for it in experiencing pleasant sensations -Some search for it in seeking the approval of others -Some search for it in the exercising of power -Some search for it in the love of money -Some search for it in the quest for success Yes, Happiness is something we all seek, and yet for most it is something that comes, then slips away, to be always just out of reach. Why? Is life really unfair? Aren't we meant to be happy? Are we being punished? The interesting thing is that all these ways that people search for happiness, and the questions they ask when they don't find it, have one thing in common. They are all OUTSIDE ourselves. Sadly, most people are looking in the wrong places, and asking the wrong questions. The truth is that Happiness is something that comes from within us. One night, trying to express my thoughts, I satand wrote these words... Happiness We'll never find true Happiness For Happiness is a state of mind- I know, as a poet I make a good athlete! But if my wordsare inadequate to convey the meaning, it is no lessimportant. Read, savor and write down, these beautiful wordsfrom Charles Spurgeon. "It is not how much we have,But how much we enjoy,That makes happiness." John Payne has lived an interesting life, and overcome many problems with a common sense, positive attitude and joy for life. He is the Founder of the fast-growing business, Enviro-Friendly Products.

Who Controls YOUR Happiness? Where does happiness fit on a scale of 1 to 10 in your life? Reframing with NLP For Enhanced Happiness I used to work for the Independent National Newspaper in Canary Wharf, London. I can remember in the build up to Christmas, my department was having a large & expensive new computer system installed because the newspaper was being relaunched, it was when Andrew Marr and Rosie Boycott were becoming joint editors, I digress?. The system was being put in just before Christmas, but it was a massive task, with numerous issues & overruns. As Christmas approached, there were still a number of teething problems, which led to stretched relations between the system supplier & the newspaper staff. Smile How do we smile at each other? Is there a message communicated between us as we smile? Does it convey the depth of our feelings we have for each other? Take note of how our smiles deepen in feeling toward each other as our relationship grows and time passes. Note how our smiles reflect our joy as we pass time together without insignificant complaints. Got Play? Passion Love Action You! Playing with your own divinity, spirit, heart, and spreading it around you. YES! When I share with people that I'm a play activist, most people look perplexed. Totally cool, I get that. What thirty year old says "I LOVE TO PLAY" while doing kart-wheels endlessly? It's not common, yet it's getting there. Choose To Integrate Body, Mind, & Soul Our bodies were made in such a way that everything is integrated. Themind appears to control everything. When something happens to thebody whether good or bad, it registers in the brain and the brain thendictates the bodies response. Scientists has found that it also worksthat way within the body. Biofeedback has shown that the mind candirect the immune system to fight various infections in the body includ-ing the dreaded strains of cancer. For the average person this is a wonderful idea, but biofeedback costs money and besides noteveryone has a life threatening problem. Imagine being able to do thisfor yourself in the comfort of your own home, office or anywhere elseyou can go to be alone for a few minutes! There are another kind ofscience that is telling us that the body listens when we talk. Thinkabout that for a minute. When we talk we are saying what the mind isthinking; we are just saying it outloud. So, it follows we can do ourown biofeedback anywhere we want. A very simple illustration of thiswill prove this to you. Hold your arms out in front of you extendingyour two index fingers. Shut your eyes and repeat our loud, "fingerscome together". Think it and say it and within two minutes your fingersdo come together. When I first tried this it was very exciting to methat it worked because for me it opened possibilities in my mind! Sincethen I have become a talker to myself! A self whisperer if you will. Italk to my body and to my sub conscious even and I have gotten amazing results. This is one thing that I think will work for everyonebecause this is one of the functions of the body, mind and soul thatwas part of the design, just as blood running through everyone's bodyis the same. But, you must have an open mind! Your mind acceptsthat blood runs through the body in a specific manner and so it must accept that the body, mind and soul will listen when it is spoken to, no matter who is speaking, yourself or someone else. Creating Happiness Whatever we want in life, a partner, more money, good health, a fulfilling career, or enlightenment, it all comes down to the same thing: behind all the wishes, behind all the desires, and beyond every symbol, we want to feel happy.

Divining Your Life Path Number The Life Path is determined by the sum that is arrived at after reducing your birth date by adding digits together. This number represents the traits and talents that you were born with and the probable journey you will take during your lifetime.

If you calculate your Soul Number (as taught in another New Age Notebook) you can contrast the two numbers to see what your unique challenges are in life.
