so, the best way to be happy….
Here’s the Farzomatic tip of the day for cultivating happiness.
Many times, in seeking happiness or trying to cultivate happiness we get stuck in a very selfish rut of just focusing on “me, me, me!” This happiness tip requires shifting the gaze off self, for a moment, and is based off the universal law of giving and receiving. If we wanna receive something from the universe, first give that same thing to someone else. But now, make sure your giving is done from an authentic place – you can’t trick the universe with fakery!
So, if you want happiness, make someone else happy! What you give, with a genuine heart and motive, is given right back to you. We see this law in motion everyday. It’s such a simple law and it works!
Try it out today. Get outta your own swirl of, “I’m not happy, how can I turn my mind around to happier thoughts when everything in my life sucks?!” And instead, do something to make someone else happy. Do something to make your spouse/partner happy, your kid, someone else’s kid, your cat/dog, your friend, your boss, your co-worker, your family, a neighbor, anyone!
Making someone happy, doesn’t have to be something huge, start small. Start with a smile, a kind word, a generous gesture, a little comfort, a small gift, listen, give your left-over lunch to a homeless, spare some change. And remember, the best thing you can ever share is yourself, a little of your time, your presence, your true and awesome energy. In being fully present for someone else you have the added benefit of getting outta the noise of your own head for a while.
As you make others happy, happiness will rebound back at you in amazing ways. Try it, you’ll like it! And, what better season to practice this whole giving and receiving concept?! ;0)
Naturally, I have a nice track to share, on this very idea of making others happy, as a way to be happy. Enjoy!
Love & Light Always,

“We are visitors on this planet. We are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most. During that period, we must try to do something good, something useful with our lives. If you contribute to other people’s happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life.”
- The 14th Dalai Lama
end duality – leggo the ego
In ending duality and becoming one, we have to consciously choose to listen only to the voice of love, happiness, success and peace. This means not listening to and not obeying the voice of fear, anger, failure and laziness. Do not, however, take this to mean resist or fight negative thoughts, because as we know, whatever we resist must persist. Simply see your thoughts of fear etc with a sense of detachment and then just let them pass on through, without getting involved.
Remember, Love/happiness/light lifts and evolves us. Fear/misery/darkness sinks and shrinks us.
Forget and let go of all thoughts and emotions that make you lose your peace and put you at war with yourself and others. It is always the ego, who wants to create war and prove a point. Forget needing to be right, forget feeling offended, forget needing to exact revenge and getting even, forget needing to argue. F the god of war, F the ego. Just be happy and keep following your bliss. And…. quit using the F word ;0) LOL.
Here is an awesome coaching track about this idea, of ending duality, by Leggo Beast. The track is entitled New Deal. Check it out, meditate on it, follow the instrux, and carry on, on your path towards oneness, greater happiness and enlightenment. ;0)

Lyrics to New Deal by Leggo Beast
“I’ve been searching for gods all my life. Now, I know them. There is a meaning to life. There are things worth believing in. There are things worth being passionate about. All of this plays a part in trying to give a positive sense of something to believe in. A positive crusade of thought, of meditation, and emotion that you can use to advance humanity tremendously, but that excises deliberately the god of war. When you find the gods inside yourself, you’ll find the god of war, and he will be one of the most powerful passions in you. You have to freeze him inside his own private hell and make your positive gods the gods that take you over. And by the gods that take you over, I mean that you have to find those passions that are so much more powerful than you, than anything you’ve been allowed to express in your life, and making those things the things that you work on, not putting off until you’re 40 or 50 the things you feel passionate about at the age of 15 and 16, but going directly to those things and trying to implement them when you’re 20. Pass go. Forget the $200, go directly to Park Place, and put your life there — on the line, with all the emotion and power and passion and insight in you, and fuck the god of war.”
non-resistance is key to keeping your peace
The true meaning behind the concept, To Resist is to Persist, is that the more you resist something mentally, that situation persists or magnifies. We expand what we notice and focus upon. Resisting, means not accepting something, fighting the situation, getting all caught up. Whenever you resist something, you lose your peace. As long as you keep letting situations disturb you, you will remain disturbed. Example: If you keep focusing on injustice, you keep inviting injustice into your life…it has to persist. The moment you no longer care, become indifferent, or quit giving it so much mental and emotional energy the situation fades away and dissolves. Whatever we resist must persist to exist; it’s simply a matter of law.
This is why there is no such thing as bad publicity. As soon as you get the masses talking/thinking about your idea/agenda/product, for it or against it, it has come to life, into being. We increase and bring into manifestation what we collectively focus our thoughts and energy upon. The more we collectively resist something, the more it persists.
Non-resistance is an art, which if mastered, will bring you great peace. This is a universal principle. Jesus taught this concept in his law of Resist not Evil. When not fully understood, this law sounds like a feeble surrender to aggression, or allowing yourself to become a doormat. But when fully understood you begin to see that indeed hatred ceases not with hatred. It is much easier to want to add to the aggression, to feed and indulge the pain, but what does that solve? Who wins? It’s a vicious cycle. By fighting, complaining about the injustice of it all, keeping your thoughts on the negative side of the situation, you help perpetuate the very thing you do not want. If you can’t take positive action to change things, it’s much better you simply not think on it, rather than get all frustrated and add to the negativity. The more you fight, fear or resent something, the more power you give the situation. Why? Because, fear and resentment are very powerful emotions, and powerfully charged thoughts and feelings activate… put things into motion.
Love your “enemy” situation and it loses all power, you simply disarm the aggression with non-resistance. Antagonize any situation and you give it power. So resist not. Easier said than done for sure, but it is well worth the effort to master this tool/law. It’s easy to be chill, loving and peaceful when things are going great, but can you remain that way regardless the situation? This is the challenge. The Universe constantly provides us episodes and opportunities to master the tools of unconditional love and happiness. When we stop feeding into the madness, aggression and darkness… taking the bait, as it were, we get to keep our peace/harmony/happiness. So, stay chill, regardless. Choose to let nothing get you mad. And, if we all did this…wow… it would indeed be a new earth and life.
