Names of God

Conceptions of God can vary widely, but the word God in English?and its counterparts in other languages, such as Latinate Deus, Greek Te??, Slavic Bog, Sanskrit Ishvara, or Arabic Allah?are normally used for any and all conceptions. The same holds for Hebrew El, but in Judaism, God is also given a proper name, the tetragrammaton (usually reconstructed as Yahweh or YHWH), believed to be a mark of the religion's henotheistic origins. In many translations of the Bible, when the word "LORD" is in all capitals, it signifies that the word represents the tetragrammaton. God may also be given a proper name in monotheistic currents of Hinduism which emphasize the personal nature of God, with early references to his name as Krishna-Vasudeva in Bhagavata or later Vishnu and Hari. For aboriginal Guanches (Tenerife, Spain) God is called Achamn.

Throughout the Bible there are many names for God that portray his nature and character. One of them is elohim, which has been argued to mean "strong one", among other things, although the etymology is debated and obscure. Another one is El Shaddai, meaning "God Almighty". A third notable name is El Elyon, which means "The Most High God".

Those who turn to God for comfort may find comfort but I do not think they will find God.

happiness ... what is it for u?

Happiness... for me 'It is a feeling of inner peace and satisfaction.'

Everyone wants to be happy.. all of us seek happiness in life, in different way ... say it in money, success, status, recognition ... more ... Unfortunately, many people never reach the level of happiness they desire. God has given happiness to everyone. It is our attitude that makes us feel happy or unhappy.

I agree, we have different situations during the day, and some of them may not result in happiness. Its upto us to think about the unhappy events or instead cherish the happy moments.

… "Sad people should try to increase the frequency of positive emotions in their lives by doing things that make them feel happy, even temporarily," said Prof Lyubomirsky.

But there is a caveat: your happiness boosters should not be dangerous, like driving fast, or counter-productive, like eating lots of chocolate.

If you can raise your spirits, the benefits can be manifold. "Happy people are more likeable and more sociable. They are also better able to cope with stress and likely to be healthier and live longer."…

We always blame on situations or other people if we're not happy. Your happiness is your responsibility. You can decide to be happy.

With that in mind, here are few ways to find happiness in life:

1) Always look at the bright side. The mind may drag you to think about negativity and difficulties. Don't let it. Look at the good and positive side of every situation.

2) Think of solutions, not problems.

3) Stop comparing yourself with others

4) Count your blessings.

5) Try to devote some time to reading a few pages of an inspiring book or article.

6) Watch your thoughts. Whenever you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, start thinking of pleasant things.

7) Always look at what you have done and not at what you haven't.

8) Each day do something good for yourself... eating something you love, watching you favorite program on TV or going to a movie.

9) Each day do at least one act to make others happy. This can be a kind word, helping your colleagues

10) Always expect happiness.

11) Do not envy people who are happy. On the contrary, be happy for their happiness.

12) Associate with happy people, and try to learn from them to be happy.

14) Smile more often.

15) Find your inner Voice.
