Do I Need to be a Monk to Achieve Ridiculous Bliss?

Dated: date October 21, 2010 – 12:19 pm

To be in a state of ridiculous bliss, do I do a day of silence or can I just be in the world? Clients have said to me “I mean, my life is chaotic, Matthew. How do I get into ridiculous bliss? Do I have to like escape and be a monk and, you know, go mediate in a cave?”

No, no, no, no, no. Now, is it effective for you to take time for yourself to think and to be introspective? Yes, of course. That’s very effective. And I meditate every single day, and I highly recommend that you meditate every single day. But I find it equally valuable to fully engage the world, to just play full out and then use my techniques of aligning, accepting, allowing, and honoring as tools to bring ridiculous bliss into every aspect of my life.

You can do the exact same thing. So do you do a day of silence or do you engage the world full blast? I say you try both.

If Life Gives You Lemons…

Dated: date September 22, 2010 – 2:54 pm

Your mom dies, yes. Your dog dies, yes. You break your leg, your car gets stolen, you get hurt, you get screwed over, you get ripped off. Don’t think of these things as only negative. All of these things are valuable tools for you to learn. Contrast is exactly what you need to create the happiness and the joy in your life. If things were going perfectly for you all the time, you’d be miserable. The challenge, the getting knocked off balance, having to regain, having to learn, having to grow… that’s where the joy is. To get into a state of ridiculous bliss, you’ve got to begin to acknowledge that everything that is happening is the perfect thing for you.

Does Having Children Make You Happy?

Dated: date August 31, 2010 – 1:11 pm

In a paper named a “Global Perspective on Happiness and Fertility” the researchers asked: Taking all things together, would you say you are very happy, quite happy, somewhat happy, or not at all happy with people who have children? There was a wide variety of responses.

They tried to tie it together to some socio-economic factor, but the truth is – whether you have kids or not will not determine if you are happy. How you perceive the situation is going to make you happy or not happy.

If you are feeling dominated by your children, then you are not going to be happy about it.

How do you feel dominated by your children? You feel like they have control. You feel like they are deciding what the mood and what the actions are in the family. When you have struck some equilibrium where everybody gets to play, everyone gets to decide, you feel fulfilled and satisfied, you feel expressed, then guess what – you are going to feel happy.

Your happiness depends on you, not external factors.
