That didn't make much sense. You will continue to receive more bills regardless... I don't know how forcing yourself to like paying bills will bring you wealth or anything else you desire LOL.... you can't subconsciously create a way to attain things if they're not attainable. If you want money, you go fucking work. All those people buying lottery tickets are attracted to the jackpot, but just because their minds are attracted to it, doesn't mean they're all going to win. Like I said before... some things are within your reach and control, and some aren't.... lying to yourself isn't going to help you.
I also don't buy that bullshit they try to sell you in that book/movie "The Secret"

I was simply explaining the concept because someone asked what it was all about.However, I do think there is some truth to it. Because thoughts are things. The things we think about often manifest themselves physically. Knowing this, encourages us to pay greater attention to our thoughts, and if we improve the quality of our thoughts, then it is likely that our physical life will improve. This concept is backed by the Qu'ran. Allah says in Qu'ran verse 13:11 that he will "not change the condition of a person until they first change that which is within themselves." -------that's a similar concept bro. Do you see the parallels?
my throat hurts, its hard to swallow, and my body feels like i got a serious ass beating.
Happiness is an emotional or affective state that is characterized by feelings of enjoyment and satisfaction. It is not a decision.
If you have a lot of things, you're not going to just be settled, you're gonna want more. In that case you'll never be happy because you won't reach a limit on the things that will make you happy. If you don't have a lot of things, you're always gonna be bothered about not having enough and you're going to be constantly fighting for new things.
but not everyone understands happiness is a decision that they have to make for themselves.. I've been to 11 countries, I know what it's like to be amongst filthy rich muthafucaz who have every reason to be happy but somehow are a much bigger wreck than the people I ran wit in the murder capitals of the nation for example. My grandma in the middle east is as happy as it gets where she is, but still sleeps on floors and goes outside in the backyard to take a shit in a hole in the ground.. ya dig what I'm sayin? you can't say it's society.. if a close one to you dies for example, you can decide to be happy for their life and cherish the times they were here or you can become depressed and blame god.. these are all decisions. Most people ain't in tune with their souls, so they can't make the right decisions.
It shouldn't all be that hard to grasp. Of course, everyone's a part of society, and that's definately what shapes us. Everything that surrounds you is what becomes you. One doesn't choose to differ; you'll have to learn how to choose to differ first. That knowledge is also something your environment will have to provide you with. In a way, all the options we have come from all that surrounds us. They are what feeds our external influences.At the same time, everyone has a mind of their own. You were born with the capacity to judge external influences, and use that knowledge. In other words: yes, society does provide you with all the ingredients, but it's totally up to the individual to start the process of being happy.It's all about standards really. Why do you think people with down syndrome often are so incredibly happy? That's because they've learned to value something as small as a flower. They don't even have to bother with quantum mechanics and a highly paid job in the lab to live up to their expectations. They know no better; their values don't reach any further.Now what I'm saying is most definately not for everyone to start dumbing yourselves down or anything likewise. The opposite would be more fitting, because since we are thinking human beings, we can't escape that. Learn about morals, philosophy and the world we live in. It'll show you there's an alternative to the depressing state of society. It'll give you the answers to altering your inner self, so you'll be armed against all those possible negative external influences. I guess my answer has become very clear by now... If people don't make themselves happy, who will do it for them?
HAPPINESS IS A DECISION, NOT AN EMOTION.
Quote from: ZILLA THE GOODFELLA on July 07, 2007, 12:58:11 PMHAPPINESS IS A DECISION, NOT AN EMOTION.^^^ I strongly disagree. Happiness is an involuntary emotion, that is a response to events that either are in conflict or in harmony with your inner person.

The "Secret" you're talking about.It's a book and video that has become really popular. It teaches about the law of attraction. Which basically means, the thoughts that go on inside your mind dictate your reality. For example, if you get a bill in the mail, and you think about how angry you are that you got a bill in the mail, then you will continue to recieve more bills that you don't like. But on the other hand, if you think about how happy you are that you got something, or visualize yourself getting happiness, wealth, or having anything you desire, then your mind will become attracted to that thing and it will subconsciously create a way for you to attain it....there's definitely some truth to all that.So if I imagine myself liking school (which is almost impossible for me) I will start to really like it and start going more?

The only way you can force happiness is doing heroin.
