Seeking happiness through ISLAMIC THOUGHT is a challenge for many who belong to the world of faith. For those who are members of the ISLAMIC TRADITION, or conservative religious movements, it may seem strange to think that there could be a connection between spirituality and business. However, such a link does exist. Many who belong to ISLAMIC TRADITION find that they are motivated to be positive in life, as well-being.
In order to pursue happiness, those who follow such a path find themselves constantly comparing themselves to other individuals and organizations. Such comparisons often lead to feelings of discontentment, and feelings of being “less than.” In order to seek happiness and live in constant contentment, it becomes necessary to compare ourselves to others… to other religions, to other things, and to life itself. And, as one becomes more connected to their religious beliefs, it becomes more likely that their spiritual journeys will also become more frequent and more intense.
While seeking happiness through ISLAMIC THOUGHT, one must continually find the positive in all things… even in the things that do not conform to traditional religious beliefs. A true believer who is truly guided by a higher power will gladly embrace all things that are positive… even the negative. They will feel happy in spite of all things and will be able to look at all aspects of life and see only the positive aspects… which will make them feel happy. This is one of the key benefits of having a strong religious belief.
ISLAMIC TRADITIONAL TRADITIONS: A person with a strong religious faith, regardless of denomination, can look at life objectively and with the gift of dispassion. They will see the good and the bad and will make decisions based on those facts, and not on their personal opinions or emotions. They will be totally happy with the results of any action, and will see the meaning in anything… even in the simplest action. They will feel satisfied and fulfilled with every fiber of their being. This leads to a positive state of personal fulfillment, as well as a feeling of satisfaction with life itself.
FOCUSING ON RELATIONSHIP: A religious individual will be open to the relationships in life. They will be fully aware of the good and bad, and will be able to relate to others on an even level. This leads to a positive attitude towards life and also means that they will be looking for opportunities to positively related to their religious beliefs. They will live in the present and they will look for the positive aspects of life, instead of seeing life as a series of unfortunate events. A person with a higher consciousness level is totally incapable of such negativity and will live in a state of happiness and fulfillment, knowing deeply and profoundly the true nature of reality.
FOCUSING ON DEEP CONSCIOUSLY: One study has shown that there are many similarities between individuals who pray and those who are in touch with the divine. Both pray and meditate regularly, and both pray in a very focused manner. Prayer involves a deep level of emotional intelligence and involves a commitment to a specific goal, which requires a degree of purposeful intention. Individuals who are searching for happiness and well-being will focus on deeply related things to their life, and a prayerful existence. They will also use a wide variety of inner tools, such as meditation and affirmations, and will develop a deep connection with God.
ON THE PHASE OF Happiness: When individuals are searching for the good and true, they must not allow any negativity to interfere or distract them from this search. The good and true are often not immediately apparent, and this can lead to a period of false negativity. This phase of false negativity can lead to many different types of mental health problems, including depression. Individuals who are in this phase of the process of seeking happiness will often be motivated to make their lives positive, by turning negative thoughts around.
SEEKING HAPPINESS AS A GIFT: Seeking happiness is actually a gift, which God himself gave us, through the work of creation. Through this gift, we have the opportunity to become what we are truly capable of becoming. Individuals who are in search of happiness will turn their lives around, and give their best, right from the start, all the way through. By seeing the goodness in everything, including themselves, individuals find a new perspective on life and begin to experience a high level of overall satisfaction, instead of being limited to little satisfaction, and a low sense of importance.
