How to find Happy Friends

The happy friend is a lifesaver who can bring you up when feeling down. The importance of happy friends is critical to your happiness. There is powerful energy in the moods of people. The mood basically relates to energy, it is an energy that can be felt but not seen. How many times have we felt the energy in a room or at work go down or up when a certain person walks in. There is a connection among humans and all living species that science is only recently beginning to notice but that spirit has always known. At some level we are all connected, exactly how this is has not fully been made clear.

When we are feeling down often we think of people we can contact who will cheer us up. We seek those who can relate to our down feeling and some how hope they will lift our mood. This is the power of a happy friend. The key is we need each other; we are in this world together and together is the only way we can survive. The power of friends is mentioned in the Bible. It is stated in proverbs 18:24 that a real friend can sticks closer than a brother. This implies that friends can be there for us even more than blood relatives. The emphasis here is on real friendship, one not based on money, sex, or other conditions. A happy friend is a powerful help to our own mood but how does one find happy friends. A key to finding happy friends can be found in the child. Studies show that as we get older our circle of friends usually diminish. The lesson in the child is very profound, it is typical for a child to make new friends everyday, and there is a kind of simplicity to how the child makes happy friends.

Children do not think too much about the differences between themselves and others the way adults do. Children seem to know that they are children and relate to other children on this level. Child keep it basis with each other. They do not emphasis racial, economic, or class differences the way adults do. Often the depths of their encounters are “Do you want to play”. Happy friends or similar they usually keep it light. The conversations are light hearted and are an escape from our so-called reality. It is not that they do not take life seriously or lack intellect. Actually they bring a refreshing order to what is an often-difficult situation.

The lesson of the child is one we must relea
as an adult, we must not judge our background differences so heavily; we may have to go back to viewing ourselves as boys and girls do once again. The child keeps it simple and we must as well to draw the happy friends deeper into our circle. Children usually see the world in two categories, you are either a kid or an adult, it is like the children who spoke a different language from the adults in the old Charlie brown cartoons. Happy does attract happy but the key is not in faking joy, it is how you handle situations. Happy friends handle life lighter; they seem to have discovered that life can only do so much bad to them. The spiritual person is taught the same lesson from Lord Jesus he said, “Be of good cheer for I have overcome the world”. Yes life will be tough at times but happy friends seem to realize that something bigger that themselves really has overcome this world. n
