Being Confident is a cakewalk if You can be Happy

Today is the day to revitalize and charge Yourself up. To begin afresh on learning to act towards Happiness. To work towards it.

‘The Happiness Dose’ new volume is all Yours today. But that’s not the reason You need to celebrate. The celebration of Happiness and Life should need no reason. Never try to find a reason for being Happy. Just be it.

We start-off with a fresh set of pointers to Your Happiness this week. With what You aptly helped us name- ’The Happiness Dose’.

The Dose: Being Confident is a cakewalk if You can be Happy

You perhaps simply can not believe (at this moment) that there is a correlation between being Happy on one hand and being Confident on the other. How can they be? Well, they don’t seem to until You do a small exercise. Visualize people You think are confident with what they do (please spare the arrogant ones). Pause. Now independently think of those who seem to be Happy doing what they do. Period.

If the world hasn’t changed too rapidly since we last experimented with this (when we found that these two sets of persons are almost the same), then You would want to know further.

Your confidence level and Your Happiness levels are closely related.
And it’s more overarching (the dependence of the two) than You probably realized ever. Your confidence in a nervous board room discussion (do we mention ‘at work’) may be originating in the Happiness You grab at home. Through your spouse, children, friends.

In case You experiment with it (and You should explore) You should find that it indeed works this way. And as with most things in life, the law exists: You use it or not doesn’t make a difference to the Law. But it makes a difference to those who remember to utilize the Law.

The secret of exploiting this Law is: the proverbial ‘green pasture’, which we have been told, ‘always lies on the other side’, no longer holds true for You. From now on, all the green pastures are right beneath Your feet- where you are placed!

A happy person (Yes, there are such persons... Yes, within this species) finds it smooth and easy to relate to the world. Relate to the situation she is into. Relate to her surroundings and challenges. Be these personal or professional.

This makes a person much more confident. Confident enough to fight a situation, confident enough to be what she is in the face of a victory and a loss.

Suppose you go to a friend's place. You meet many people there. Few you know & others you are meeting for the first time. How do you let out your best in such a situation? Are you anxious, do you portray yourself as something you are not, or do you do 'measured' talking fearing others?

All of this would depend on what you have been thinking, what you have been practicing, what you have been doing with your life, with your days and with your Happiness levels everyday.

Yes, if you have been thinking, practicing & living Happiness in any aspect of your Life, then there is only one way you can perform. The behavior of yours is clearly in one direction- effusing confidence. The confident attitude is because of the peaceful & calm state of your being which allows you to feel at home in the moment. Rest assured, you are so much in the moment that you are just yourself. This being yourself makes you confident.

How easy it is now to see the correlation. Which most of us miss out on.

Looking back You realize that all those moments when you felt most confident about yourself, You were most happy as well.

But You would do justice to your confidence levels only if You can turn such moments into days, and days into a lifetime.
