We are often told that thinking positively can have a life-changing effect on us and be a catalyst for lasting happiness. While thinking positively is a great start, it is not really the \u2018answer\u2019 to achieving lasting happiness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s because true happiness isn\u2019t a fleeting feeling or emotion, it is already within us. It\u2019s the energy of our true essence; our soul. Therefore, to attain true happiness we need to access our \u2018soul feelings\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soul feelings do not fluctuate or change. They, like our soul itself, are constant and eternal. Feelings and emotions that are associated with our thoughts (positive or negative) fluctuate and change all the time. They are not constant, perpetual or eternal.  This is how you know that they are not true or real. This includes feelings derived from positive thinking (which we often mistake for true happiness).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything created from the mind is temporary because the mind itself is temporary.  Where the soul is eternal, the mind is not.  The soul is true, raw love energy while the mind is often controlled by fear-based energy.  Fear-based energy only exists in the 3rd<\/sup> dimension\/physical world which is why it is not eternal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything created from fear is an illusion. Yes, this even includes \u201cpositive\u201d feelings created from positive thoughts. Many people associate fear-based feelings with negative emotions, but this isn\u2019t true. Fear-based feelings can consist of both positive and negative emotions because fear is based in duality, meaning that fear-based energy always presents itself as opposites.  So, for every negative feeling, there is a positive to counter it, and vice-versa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fear-based feelings (those created from thoughts) cannot ever be true feelings because they are temporary and swing back and forth between positive and negative.  Everyone has experienced this because otherwise, everyone would be happy all the time, wouldn\u2019t they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you learn how to shift closer into alignment with your true self\/your soul, you can access your soul feelings (the true, constant, perpetual feelings of happiness, peace, contentment, love, abundance and purpose) on demand whenever you want to.  And, every shift \u2013 no matter how small or large \u2013 is permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
