How to Find Universal Love and Happiness?

What is universal love?

Love and Happiness: would say universal love definition is the love of life – a spiritual connection with all there is. And finding it is just realizing that it exists within you. It is not something we hunt for.

As a broad notion, spirituality allows for a variety of viewpoints. It often entails a quest for purpose in life and generally involves a feeling of connection to something greater than ourselves. As a result, it is a shared human experience that affects everyone. A spiritual experience may be sacred, sublime, or a profound sense of aliveness and connectivity.

Some people could discover that their affiliation with a church, temple, mosque, or synagogue is closely related to their spiritual life. Others look for significance in their relationships with nature or the arts. Others could pray or find solace in a close personal connection with God or a higher power.

Getting ourselves to the spiritual side of things can help us be more receptive to attracting the feelings of universal love – it is where a lot of love happens.  And love is the reason for our world to happen. We were created out of love. That means you and I and everyone we see were created out of love. We are love. And we often do not feel it or know it. 

Most of us think we are so far from universal love and joy, and they did feel it they are such distant memories that we give up, and the thought of ever being in that state again is unimaginable.

Fortunately, it is easy if you think about how to be happy in life or what is the art of happiness. It is a lot easier than doing the dishes or mowing a lawn because it is really something that you don’t have to do. More like you have to relax and let go and allow it in.

It can be an erasing of everything else let’s say, on a whiteboard filled with words and emotions and you delete each word until you get to the bottom and realize universal love, way under everything else, is what the white board of each person’s life is based on.

Love. Suppose you have felt it before. It is easy to feel it again. And if you never have, it is easy to feel what it feels like. Our doubt-filled minds may make us think about how to be happy and how difficult feeling love and happiness is. We tell ourselves we need this thing or that to happen to feel happy. We use Hollywood to tell us what love is. No, we need to let down our guard and allow love to enter our defenses. Did you know fear is the opposite of love? Let down those shields and feel the energy. And feel the love for and from others.

The happiness or love genes are not working. Most people do not know if they have ever or can ever felt love. Most think they haven’t and can’t and never will feel it. But it also seems to be everyone’s greatest desire. But they think it might be genetically impossible because the more they try to grasp it, the more it eludes them.

I contend that most people who have felt love for anything can feel it again easily and live in joy whenever they want.Love and Happiness

First, universal love is no different at its core than romantic love. Romantic love is a part of universal love. Both trigger emotions often described as nervous happiness when one sees the object of their desire—a tingling in the heart. Excitement and anticipation – the stuff we all lust after it?

Love is right in front of you

That feeling can be in everything we think we like a lot. What is your favorite food in the world? Maybe it is a dress. Or shoes? Everyone loves something. Some even love being miserable.

What happens when you enter a shop that has it? Just what do you long for? How do you feel? Hands clammy, eyes dart nervously, mouth waters, you can taste the love in the air.

You think of how fine the art of happiness looks being brought to you, and you cannot wait. Remember every detail of how it looks, how it makes you feel.

The first feelings of love is the same, and love is love.

For a minute, you smile and feel happy.

It can work similarly for an old sports car you want to drive again. You remember how it looked, handled, and the engine’s sound. You can remember almost every line and were happy whenever you got near it.

This is what peace, love, and happiness feel like, a love of anything and anyone. Now spread it to everyone and everything. You know what it feels like. See it and appreciate it in more and more things around you.

And look how happy it makes you feel.

Love and happiness is your choice:

It is your choice to appreciate it or not. To be happy or not. It is not up to anyone or anything else. Most people allow outside influences to control their happiness, and it is true that it can be difficult to be happy when you are caught with a flat tire on a lonely road in the middle of a rain storm and your phone just died. But even though you can not control the circumstances of any situation, you do have control over one thing. Yourself and your emotions. You can flip out or more calmly figure out a solution. It is your choice. While it is generally out of your control to choose the things you love, it is up to you to be happy about them. To be glad that you love chocolate Mousse Tracks ice cream or not. Loving the chance to be alive now and experiencing the world for a higher purpose is your choice.

Is love happiness?

Most people have been in love multiple times and with all kinds of things or creatures. Now is the time to expand those feelings and feel the love and happiness for those things you love and life itself. And make yourself feel that joy once again.

Just look around and fall in love again. Love and happiness.

Happiness thermostat

How to set your happiness thermostat.

By “Jim Chilson”

Happiness thermostat

Happiness thermostat has an emotional thermostat – if you feel down and ask yourself how I can make myself happy, here is how you can do it fast. One crucial way to find true happiness & even universal love is to track down where it comes from and then you can set your emotional thermostat to always be on to the max. There are still things in life that will bring you down, but hopefully, you can recover sooner and stay content longer. And you can do this at will.

Stop Judging – First of all, do not judge. Stop judging everything. Don’t judge anything as good or bad. Everything and everyone are just what they are. We want to judge and categorize everything, especially ourselves. 

What happens when someone says, you don’t make me happy anymore?

Suddenly feel hot? Emotions high? Well, it is not your fault because it is not your responsibility to make anyone happy. That is a guilt trip someone is throwing on you from people who don’t know they are responsible for how they feel. Not you. That is not your job.

I knew someone once who when it rained and she got wet she would make it my fault because the reason she got wet is she is with me and we walked outside.

Sound crazy? No argument from me. But our ego-driven brains act like that naturally and quickly. Like lightening, but who is to blame? We have to blame somebody or something else outside us.  

It is a human characteristic. Stop it. You are in charge of how you feel. Throw those chains away.

It is not anyone else’s responsibility to make someone happy. It is your job to think how to make yourself happy.

Why happiness is important?

It is up to each of us to choose whatever emotional state we want to live this life in. You can choose misery – a life of complaining and sadness and dreariness. One of fear where you think everyone is out to cheat you and you blame God for all the bad that happens to you. You forget of all the good things that happen in your life. We can easily forget to be grateful we are here.

For example, if we lose at love we hate everything. But there may be many reasons to find a little cheer. Maybe that other person was bad news you could not see and they were blocking you from meeting your true flame.

I know that is not much consolation, but think of this: you feel something. That means you are alive. You get to experience life. You get to recover and love again. Be grateful.  

And we all know when we are happy time goes faster, and when we are down the clock can slow way down. Why do weekdays drag on and weekends seem so short? You can help control that and know how to make yourself happier by setting your emotional happiness thermostat for life.

It is where you generally want to place yourself on the positive/negative scale. Of course, someone cannot be constantly happy all of the time. But how one sets their thermostat is where they will spend most of their time between the ups and downs of life.

When happiness doesn’t work?

Life happens. Your dog may chew on your shoes. Your neighbor may have just backed into your mailbox. Or far worse things could happen. Most people let outside incidents affect them and actually blame circumstances outside themselves as the reason for their mood swings. What happens to us can be out of our control. What we think about it and how we deal with it is not.

The amount that affects us throughout our lives can be influenced by our earlier choice to set our temperatures for the long term, knowing this will pass and sometimes we need time to grieve and feel sadness and that is fine. Please forgive the people who want to cheer you. They want to help. You have a right to feel how you feel. But when it is time to heal, please eventually return to the place you created on your thermostat.

Emotions such as happiness, frustration, love and fear are feelings. And we humans often let those emotions rule us. I have chosen happiness as the emotional thermostat setting for my emotional state whenever life happens. My feelings are all over the place in the background, but I know the thermostat will take care of everything, and I will return to the happier, more positive emotions I chose to set earlier. So, how to set your happiness thermostat?

Advertising people know it is not the steak but the sizzle that sells. It is not a thing, a person, and whatever outside thing that makes one happy. It is the feelings those things give you.

Love has become unclear over time; with too many different emotions, we have lost the true meaning of universal love. Happiness is that feeling or tingle of emotions that happens when we feel pleased. It could be seeing your loved one after a while or getting a bowl of your favorite ice cream.

So, what does universal love mean? Universal love is when one loves everything without conditions and can appreciate everything as it is. Give thanks for whatever you receive and move forward.

Love and happiness are different sides of the same coin. People or situations are responsible for love and happiness. But the fact is that we are responsible for all these things and particularly for happiness by where we choose to set the temperature.

How to make myself happy?

Now how to set your emotional thermostat up and make yourself happier: To turn it higher, remember to appreciate all the good things that come to you, all the things you receive. To make yourself happy, think of your relationships, favorite foods, your pets, and everything, and be thankful you receive it. And if you want to drop the temperature, do the opposite and start complaining.

We have the choices to see things as positive or negative. That does not mean when a box falls on your foot, for example, that should be considered a good thing. Of course not. Realistic common sense says, “ouch!,” or something more substantial. But if you continue to complain about the box and let that affect your mood about everything else in life, then it is a terrible thing that can affect your mood for a long time. Continuing to harp about that box can do much more harm than the original pain. Learn how to turn off your emotions quickly—our minds and what we think about is very powerful and can influence our lives. So be careful.

And stay away from the causes of negative emotions such as gossip from co-workers, the news, friends, judgment and family. 

It can be a balancing act, with emotions doing whatever they want. But as long as you set your temperature toward the positive, you will eventually return to the home place you set and get pleasure again from the little things in life. Then you will be just fine.

“Don’t worry, be happy.”
