To those of you who are naturally happy and peaceful, this post may not apply, but for the rest of us, this happiness business takes a lot of effort. The spiritual principles* set forth on this site need to be incorporated into our lives. We can’t simply read the words on the screen and think that we have done all we can to reap the benefits of whatever we just read. We need to read and then read again and again and then we need to practice these spiritual principles in our lives. Practice being the key word here.
If we’re not happy with our present situation, then we need to accept it or change it. Being unhappy and afraid was not acceptable to me, so I changed. I worked and still work very hard on being the best person I can be and I am happy and at peace. We need to keep our spirituality at the top of our priority list because if we’re not spiritually healthy, we become liabilities to our family, friends and society as a whole.
Your spiritual and mental condition should somewhat improve just by reading and listening to useful information by osmosis. We can read or listen to talks about spirituality and find them to be of great help to us without any additional effort on our parts, but don’t rest on this. There is much that we must consciously input into our lives through hard work and dedication. If you want to change, you’ll need to make those changes. You need to do the work. “Practice makes perfect” or perhaps I should say, practice makes peace and happiness 
*When I refer to spiritual or spirituality, I am not necessarily referring to a Higher Power directly but am referring to anything that is good for our spirit or our being.
