Making a happy home. (A)

   A special friend send me an email saying how to make a happy home. On this issue I will talk about how to bring happiness in your home but I would not discuss how to take away the problems. The reason for that is once you learn how to bring happiness into your home obviously the problem will eventually be resolved. Now first of all that you should know is that it is not necessary to be financially well off in order to bring prosperity and happiness in your home. Some people will probably answer by saying that wealth do not bring happiness but it does help. I would disagree with that because I've seen many cases on both side whether if you are wealthy or poor you was still not have happiness if you do not have the fundamental basic of some sort of unity.
   When I speak about unity it is not necessary have to be a family unity. It could be if you are in a university housing and you live with friends. Or if you live somewhere and you have roommate that share rent. What I define as unity is when there is a good number of people living together under one roof.
   On this issue I would talk about as a family unity. To begin with the must recognize that your home is a sanctuary. It does not have to be necessary a place of peace and quiet like a monastery. But instead of place of happiness and rejoice.

   When the morning began in your home you would spend a short time before everybody leaves whether to work or to school. But nevertheless you should take a moment as a group and be thankful for a new day. Now at the end of the day when everybody returns from work or from school, my suggestion would be before entering your home you should mentally invoked by saying "I now leave all of my troubles and problem of the day behind". You should never bring the problem from outside into your sanctuary.
   Now that you have entered into your home leaving all your daily problem behind, depending on the individual I would suggest at least watch your hand and face as a symbolic gesture for cleaning away all your problems. After doing all the things that you need to do and now your family gather together before dinner I would suggests that when you are together invoked by saying "once more we are United together". Remember I did mention that when you enter your house leave all your problems behind, but when you have children it will probably be a different situation. You should always ask your children how has the day been so you will be able to resolve any problem they may have. Children that keeps the problem bottled up inside will not create a happy home.
   When it's time for dinner depending upon your religion whichever a may be, that will be a perfect opportunity to make some sort of blessing so everyone in the family will now recognize that they are now in the little sanctuary of the happy home.

   Now the information I just gave you is just a little bit on the surface. The detail on how to solve your problems or what kind of blessing you should do at home, that is a detail in which you have to take care of yourself. Every family it different in many ways. But one thing is for sure that if you can find happiness in your home it will be like a cell in the body. It will begin your home and then your next-door neighbor home and then the community and then the nation.
 But for now just focus on your own home, eventually your home will reflect to others.

Hopefully I will go into more detail in a future, but this all I have to say for now.

Before leaving any common please look at the info note on your right.

Bless you all and be well.
