Help me with my thinking Problem?

Question

Ill think about something happy and then when I try to think about it again later it doesn't make me happy anymore? Sometimes I cant focus on the thought because im so down on myself?

Answer 1

Please google a short piece called Desiderata and read it. It has all the answers to the issues you have raised. I think the key is focus.

Focus on strengths rather than weaknesses. Focus on positivity rather than negativity. I hope you will soon feel a whole lot better and not so down. With very best wishes. UK

Answer 2

You are doing the most common mistake; done by one and all alike; which is not only the reason of your present problem but also the seed of all the problems which you would come across later in life.

YOU SAY THAT YOU THINK ABOUT SOME THING HAPPY BUT WHEN YOU TRY TO GAIN THAT HAPPINESS BY THINKING ABOUT THAT THING AGAIN YOU CANNOT GAIN HAPPINESS AGAIN; \

It is because you think that the seed of happiness of self in self can be incorporated in self; merely by performing those acts and activities which drive the thinking process of self to merely think about happiness; and to ensure that such acts and activities deliver happiness to the self.

The thinking process and the thoughts of self are not the seed giving process and acts and activities of self which can deliver the sentiments, emotions, feelings, thoughts and actions of happiness of self to self; but the passions of self to work hard truthfully and for righteous reasons only i.e for following:

A) ensuring that the health, wealth and wisdom of the body, mind and intellect of our selves; continues to not only remain so; but also motivate us to share same with others; primarily by driving us to deliver the joys of the happiness of them in us with others

B) ensuring that we work hard to continue to seek, earn, and gain the blessings of the blessed ones and the grace of the gracefullness of god himself alone; for enabling and empowering us to motivate and drive the self to seek the happiness of the health, wealth and wisdom of the body, mind and intellect  from its worldly sources for our selves; to help us to become healthy, wealthy and wise in the body, mind, and intellict of our selves.

In practice; we should be knowing ourselves only as the seed giver and not our thinking process or our ability to think and use thoughts instead;

However for enabling and empowering us to do so we should be performing karmas, like a karam yogi, by following the mind of that karam yogi only; who not only is healthy, wealthy, and wise in the body, mind, heart and intellect of his self but is also a willing seeker and deliverer of same as the joys and happiness of self ; for helping his own self to  live, work, and perform actions of survival;

GOD ALONE IS THE TRUE SEED GIVING FATHER TO SELF AND ITS DELIVERER TO THE SELF FOR SELF; BUT HIS DELIVERANCES CAN BE DELIVERED TO THE SELF AND CAN BE HAD BY THE SELF FROM AND THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF A TRUE KARAM YOGI ONLY; AND THE  SELF CAN BECOME A SEED GIVER AND A DELIVERER BY PERFORMING ACTS AND ACTIVITIIES OF KARAM YOGA WITH GOD ALONE. .
