I did not understood the concept of happiness and that everything is related to me.
All the symbols i was seeing around me ... in society ... could make me understand what life is about, what perspectives i have ... but i had to meditate in silence what was my own path.
Having the right balance of emotions in my inner soul ... was the real trick ... and i knew it, but was doing nothing to accomplish that state of being.

The big secret of seeing the joy present
in your life is that you don’t need anything at all for having it.
It just appears ... and all you need
to do is to embrace it.
I own a favor to a very wealthy guy, that is speaking me of joy everyday.
In fact he is one of the best theoreticians ... when it comes about defining life and the human being.
I had thought a lot of how i could actually pay him back for the favor ... and in the end i realized and proposed him to create a web platform where he could actually monetize the big secret of having the joy present on the scene of our lives. We’ve talk and talk ... and settle as the price of the seminar to be huge ... but also that the seminar should be very short and easy to understand.
Forget to mention that me and my dear wealthy friend ...
were studying the nonsense by a long time, daily defining ... what is in fact behind the nonsense and its meaning in our lives.
And before finishing the web platform ... i tell him, almost as a joke ... “Let me tell you what you are going to say to this

amazing seminar.
So ... my dear friends for all over the world!
After analyzing and defining life from many, many view points ... i discover something unbelievable.
The secret of joy ... of being happy and have a fabulous life is that you don’t need ... anything at all.
Or maybe i should say to sound much clearly is that ... all you need is ... NOTHING.
Thank you ... for coming to my seminar!”
He smiles to me and says ... “Yeesss! Where do you know that this is what i would actually say?!”
And i reply ... “Well ... i’ve been an idiot for years ... following many, many paths ... always believing that i found the right one.
And one day ... i discovered the same ... that all i need to have the joy in my life ... is NOTHING ... not even follow a certain path.
Most probably thinking as a child ... that sees joy everywhere is the real trick for a amazing life”.
And i am sure we all know that ... but we are too stubborn to ... accept that we must not look for happiness in the exterior factors from the timeline of our lives.

There is no day from God ... as nothing to happen
It was October ... not so far from Exeter, Rhode Island, USA. Paul was a guy that was studying business, but also personal growth all his life.
He was in fact chasing for ... success, but also financial independence ... and thought that real estate is the path for accomplishing this dream.
When he was a kid, he read a book about a guy ... an old man ... that had rented his houses and was relaxing the whole day.
Later on he met a guy that was owning 2 buildings ... with 90 apartments and he was just loving that model of success. Paul was reading a lot ... anything about financial independence, but even if in that book written in 1930 ... the author also wrote about the problems the old man was having with his tenants ... and also his friend, that was owning 90 apartments ... was telling him that the renting business was not easy and that there was no day from
God ... as nothing to happen with his tenants ... Paul was blind when it came to the problems that might appear.
He ignored everything ... and believed that renting was the key for his financial freedom.

But Paul was so stubborn that in the end succeeded to buy a complex of houses and started his business on large scale. But guess what??!
Daily something was happening.
It was almost a nightmare with his tenants and what he defined as financial independence proved to be ... the silliest job in the world.
He actually became the servant of his tenants ... being daily annoyed by them.
Suddenly he remembered about his friend ... the one with 90 apartments ... calls him and asks ... “Why you did not told me that renting business is a nightmare?! I’m just fucked up with so, so many problems”.
The guy laughs and replies ... “You see ... my dear Paul ... you saw only the beautiful side ... that i own tens of apartments ... but not the dark side also. I clearly told you ...
that there is no day from God as nothing to happen. What have you understood from that??!”
You see ... from outside all the models, even the ones of success looks quite nice ... but sometimes what we see .... is not what it is for real.
Models of success are just theoretical concepts, but it does not mean it can be applied to our cases also. And we know it ... but we just ignore that fact.

“I don't read books and philosophies

Now, i just look at the trees and
mountains ...”
(Arij Emaan)
I started to see 2 types of persons that had to do with books ... the ones that read a lot and the ones that after reading a lot decided to stop ... and live their lives just as it is.
I even have a close friend that is very well connected to energies and can see behind the scene of reality, being able to tell you things that most probably you will never see ... and she is telling me all the time to just stop reading.
But i also have friends that love to read a lot and you could speak for days with them about philosophy ... so what is the real path to follow?!
Should we spend a lot of our time to read ... or somehow mix reading about all types of theoretical concepts about life, but also live life for real ... and actually try to connect to all the elements that make it beautiful?!
Probably we should enjoy the nature ... the trees, the

mountains, the lakes and seas ...
Keeping in mind the books of philosophy ... is ok ... but all of them are ideas of other people.
We connect to all those energies ... which might be good or bad ... or maybe just naive ideas that will take us to ... nowhere.
But when we connect to the nature ... no matter of its kind ... we actually connect to the Universe itself. The books are telling us about the infinite.
But the nature ... with its beauty ... is actually showing us the Infinite ... and if you really want to understand life, the Infinite will tell you the real story ... without saying a word.
You knew this ... same as i do ... by years, but i will not lie to you that i am spending my time as Arij is telling us to do ... looking at the trees and mountains ...
And i continue telling everywhere around ... that i did not found the path ... the real one.

Still being angry ... you remain connected to that energy field that created the anger
Whatever we can say about anger ... bottomline it is a negative emotion.
We can listen a psychologist ... that will speak to us for hours what it really means being angry, but what is important to understand is that angriness is an emotion that does not bring anything positive in our lives.
Is very related with the Ego and not so much with the soul, cause a real soul, that is actually connected to the Universe will never use hate in the relationship with outher souls.
But let me tell you a story, about 2 funny guys, George and John ... to understand better what i want to say.
Years ago, John played all his money on gambling ... and because of that he did not paid a considerable amount of money to George.
And George, became so angry that ... if killing people would be legal ... he would actually kill John.
But it is funny, cause John did not said he will not pay the
money, but asked George to wait few months and he will
solve the problem.
George was too annoyed.

He could not sleep in the night and was thinking only and only at that amount of money, even if he had enough money ... and he could just forget this episode.
But one year later, George has a similar problem with Bill ... with the only difference that Bill clearly mentioned that will not pay any penny at all to him ... because this is what he wants.
George becomes angry again ... as one year ago.
In fact he was so angry that he could not sleep in the night. Almost the same story ... and George could not accept that this was happening again.
The only difference is that this time he would love to kill Bill ... not John.
And life is always funny .... and is laughing a little bit more of
the angry man.
Being on the street he accidentally meets John.
He suddenly realized is not hating him anymore and is talking with him for few minutes.
You could even say they are some close friends ... that met and talk what is going on in their lives.
But you see ... George was not hating John anymore. He was too busy with Bill this time ... and suddenly he understands that he needs to forget the angriness and become calm again.
The similarities between the 2 episodes are so, so clear ...
but not as long as the people from the story where still anchored into that negative energy field.
Seeing John again, George realizes that he is losing his time hating Bill ... and the story of hate is just a pathless path, same as the one with John, from one year ago.

The trick is to know
what to ... ask
All the articles, books or movies about the law of attraction are telling us all kind of tricks about how to use that force ...
but never tell us the truth ... that we could desire a path that is not meant for us.
But the Universe lets us believe we know better what is important ... and in the same time is also laughing behind our back ... letting us decide for a while the path we believe is the right one to follow.
And we ask for one thing ... defining it as the most important
thing in the world.
Then another one.
And another one.
The Universe is watching us ... and while smiling ... defining us as ... the little funny box with desires ... still gives us some time to change our minds.
But we are stubborn and continue wanting so much all those desires, without thinking for a second that we should ask first the Universe ... what is the higher will.

other goods or properties .... we should just say:
“I want to follow the path to a beautiful and happy life ...
whatever that means”.
Is that too complicated to ask?!
What else should you want from life ... except happiness?! Why can’t you follow ... the higher will and just ask for guidance?!
Why is it so complicated to accept that?!
Why we always believe we are much better as the Supreme Intelligence?!
Well ... too many questions ... and you know all the answers to all those questions ... but you ... same as me ... can’t get rid of the silly habit of being stubborn.

Arij wrote as a poet that loves philosophy ... but the guy just
