Principle Based Happiness

A few months ago I was reflecting on my life purpose and thinking,"What could I do that would add to all the wonderful things that have already been accomplished, spoken, and written by those that have gone before me". Suddenly an idea came to me to share with others what brings happiness into my life, and as I reflected on this I realized that all the peace and happiness in my life was based on true principles. You may be asking at this time what I mean by true principles. I would answer with the words of Stephen Covey. "Principles are guidelines for human conduct that are proven to have enduring, permanent value." Some examples of this are honesty, integrity, kindness, love, tolerance, patience, sincerity. When we practice these things it brings a happiness that is long lasting, not fleeting. For example honesty will always build trust in a relationship where dishonesty will destroy a relationship. Love is edifying where hate is destructive. Think of some examples in your own life where this has proven true.

Some people refer to true principles as natural laws. They are just as real as the Law of Gravity. They exist in every part of our lives. There are physical principles, spiritual principles, financial principles, health principles, every part of our lives is affected by principles or laws. The more we come to understand and put into practice these principles the happier we become. More peace and security comes into our lives, our relationships become richer, our financial situation improves, our health improves, our lives improve. Would you like to improve your life in one, or all of those areas? If so I invite you to come back often and check out my blog. I will be adding links to other sites that you can visit to learn more about living true principles and improving your life.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that things that I have shared today have been inspirational. My hope is that we can all continue to learn and practice true principles enabling us to live a happier, more peaceful life.

Until next time,
