Setting our objectives…

Everyone wants to be happy and no one wants to suffer, but very few people understand the real causes of happiness and suffering.
When We have to look for happiness outside ourselves, thinking that if we had the right house, the right car, the right job, and the right friends we would be truly happy. We spend almost all our time conform the external world, people around us, things we have…etc, trying to make it conform to our wishes.
All our life we have tried to surround ourselves with people and things that make us feel comfortable, secure, or stimulated, yet still we have not found pure and lasting happiness.
It is time we sought happiness from a different source. Happiness is a state of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions. If our mind is pure and peaceful we shall be happy, regardless of our external circumstances, but if it is impure and unpeaceful we can never be truly happy, no matter how hard we try to change our external conditions. We could change our home or our partner countless times, but until we change our restless, discontented mind we shall never find true happiness.
Let’s start putting our objectives here!!! Setting Goals needed to achieve the right state of mind.
Happiness can be achieved through compassion and training the mind.
Put in your mind that; Changing is the constant. Change the current state into the future state!!!! Change who you are now into who you wants to be. Let’s ask ourselves: Who am I? Where am I? What do I want?
Start now!! Not later!! Creating what you want to be and have later… in order to reach the happiness you want to feel at last… Do What You Love and Share with Others... So we will do this together...And now...as we know our goal...we will start to set our objectives needed to reach that goal which is HAPPINESS!!!

Islam teaches that true happiness can only being obtained by living a life full of God-consciousness and being satisfied with what God has given us. Additionally, true "freedom" is freedom from being controlled by our base human desires and being ruled by man-made ideologies. This stands in stark contrast to the view of many people in the modern world, who consider "freedom" to be the ability to satisfy all of their desires without inhibition. The clear and comprehensive guidance of Islam gives human-beings a well-defined purpose and direction in life. In addition to being members of the human-brotherhood of Islam, its well-balanced and practical teachings are a source of spiritual comfort, guidance and morality. A direct and clear relationship with Almighty God, as well as the sense of purpose and belonging that ones feels as a Muslim, frees a person from the many worries of everyday life. In short, the Islamic way of life is pure and wholesome. It builds self-discipline and self-control thought regular prayer and fasting, and frees human-beings from superstition and all sorts of racial, ethnic and national prejudices. By accepting to live a God-conscious life, and realizing that the only thing that distinguishes people in the sight of God is their consciousness of Him, a person's true human dignity is realized.
The most pivotal benefits that Islam provides for the individual are:
1. Real happiness and inner peace.
2. Practical guidance in leading a good life.
3. A correct understanding of human nature.
4. Forgiveness from all previous sins.
5. The gateway to eternal Paradise.
6. Salvation from Hell-fire.
