Lesson 243: Conduct Your Own Happiness Study

As the title suggests, in the next upcoming few days or weeks, conduct your own happiness study. But why? Much of this course and another course I do called “A Year of Spiritual Awakening in Your Inbox”, there is much talk about being open and expanding connection. If we are all interconnected, then we have direct influence on each other’s energy, in both positive and negative ways. The purpose of conducting your own study will show the impact your moods can have on your family, friends, colleagues etc. You sense of joy and happiness may be directly correlated to someone else that influenced you and then that spreads out to the people you know. Notice how the world is around you and the way it comes back to you.

I personally already know the effects of my environment and the people around me. It’s why I always try and stick with people that I resonate with. If I don’t particularly get along with someone based on their actions, words or values, then why would I spend time with them? I purposely surround myself with good people in order to always have a good happiness ripple effect. If I feel low, I know there are people that I can learn from. I don’t need to do a study to know this. Please do this task today if you have never taken a moment to notice. It may just surprise you in what you will see.

Lesson 243: Heart of Connection is One...

“Heart of connection is one of the most difficult passages: it is about releasing all the ideas you have been taught since childhood, and coming into your own as a conscious adult, for the very first time. This may happen at age 20, age 40, age 50. There is no age this must occur, only readiness.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today we are to think about beliefs that we are holding onto that are no longer ours.

I think everything that I learned as a child I’ve let go of. I mean, it wasn’t an easy feat to wake up to the world that society is built on. Many things of what we’re fed and taught, I find are untrue. That covers a whole range of topics and I feel like the beliefs I hold onto now are actually mine. This comes from research, curiosity, learning, engaging with others, reading and then structuring my own truth from there. I’ll just go through some of the things I had been taught and shaped into my own beliefs.

I was raised Catholic and do not believe in one God. I don’t believe in hell, and to say that I am going to hell at a young age because I did something bad, is just cruel. I believe Jesus was a healer ahead of his time and was on Earth to teach us to be kind and to practise compassion.

I don’t think respect should be given to just elders – I believe it should be given to all people.

If I have something to say, I should say it. I shouldn’t hide my own truth just to appease someone else’s feelings. If something doesn’t agree with me, I shouldn’t have to give in to another person’s viewpoint.

Woman should not do everything for a man. They should be equals.

Success isn’t how much money you have or having the best job or biggest house. Success is how you want to feel in life and achieving that.

No one has the right to tell you how to live your life. Sure, they can give advice and guide you, but ultimately they should not make the decisions for you. It’s your life, so live it how you want to.

Time is not real. It’s a construct in order to bind us to an illusion that society is built on.

So, these are just a few of mine. What are some of your beliefs that you’ve changed to make your own? Are there still some beliefs that you follow that are not yours?
