That has always been something we strive for in this life. In fact, if we look at the motivations behind our thoughts and
actionsͶconscious and unconsciousͶthey are all to get us closer to the feeling, or at least the idea, of happiness.

Some of us have long asked why we cannot hold on to happiness. For all of the scholarship and human insights across
the centuries, nobody has found a complete and enduring answer. Perhaps because it has been too close to see͙

The answer, the key, is our .

We have been told throughout our lives to ͞follow your heart.͟ This has been written in countless holy texts as well,
across virtually all religions, since the very beginning. This is because our heart - even without us realizing it - feels the
Love that comes from God, who loves us completely, and always wants the very best for us.

In opening and using our heart, we are blessed with lasting peace and happiness that we can feelͶactually and really

Ͷin our daily lives. Our daily life is actually a manifestation of how strongly we are connected to our Creator, the
True Source. Thus, an open heart is also the real key to our spiritual advancement in getting closer to God, the Source of
Eternal Peace and True Joy.

Why is our heart the main connection to God? Why is our heart the center of beautiful feelings? Why is our heart, not
our brain or other parts of us, the key?

Our heart is the key because our  


 is within our heart. Our true self that is within our heart will continue to live
on even after this lifetime has been completed. While our physical body is only a temporary ͞shell͟Ͷflesh and blood
that will one day turn into dustͶour relationship with God is eternal. We need God and God͛s Love not only when we
are alive on this earth, but forever and always.

As we are still in our physical body, our heart (not the physical heart but the spiritual heart ʹ the center of our feeling) is
where and how we remain connected to God.

With this connection, our heart communicates with God and receives God͛s Blessings. In receiving God͛s Blessings, we
can feel so many beautiful things within our heart, including the feeling of lightness, calmness, peace, happiness, and joy
beyond all things we have ever felt from our worldly experiences.

Being calm and joyful at every moment of our life may sound fantastic, even impossible. Now recognize that it is your
  making this judgment, imposing this false limitation. In this regard, you may have quite a bit of work to do in
getting out of your own way. Our brain is so strongͶwe have spent so much of our life within our headͶthat it can
overtake our heart at the beginning. However, our heart knows that peace, calmness, and happiness await us once we
begin opening and using our heart. It is only a matter of opening it up to let God͛s Blessing do the best for us.

How beautiful and exciting it is to consider that all these wonderful feelings are within us at all times. All we need to do
is to open and use our heart to be able to feel and enjoy these wonderful Blessings.

May you open your heart to the Creator and use your heart to experience the peace, calmness, and happiness within.

Kita ditakdirkan untuk berbahagia..

Kebahagiaan adalah sesuatu yang selalu kita cari dalam hidup ini. Dalam kenyataannya, kalau kita lihat motivasi di balik
pikiran dan tindakan kita ʹ sadar atau tidak ʹ semua adalah untuk membuat kita sebisa mungkin merasakan, atau
setidaknya yang kita anggap, kebahagiaan.

Dari jaman dulu sudah banyak orang bertanya mengapa kita tidak bisa selalu bahagia setiap saat. Sudah banyak ilmu
dan orang bijak membahas hal ini selama berabad-abad, tapi tidak ada yang bisa memberi jawaban yang lengkap dan
tidak lekang dimakan zaman. Mungkin karena jawabannya terlalu dekat untuk kita bisa melihatnya.

Jawabannya, kuncinya, adalah HATI kita.

Sepanjang hidup kita selalu dinasehati untuk ͚mengikuti suara hati͛. Ini juga sudah ditulis di banyak kitab suci, di semua
agama, sejak awal zaman. Ini karena hati kita ʹ bahkan tanpa kita menyadarinya- bisa merasakan Rahmat Kasih dari
Tuhan, yang selalu Mengasihi kita seutuhnya, dan selalu menginginkan yang terbaik terjadi untuk kita.
