<p>Finding happiness and success are more than just money. If you are not finding happiness in your family, this is to remind you that you have the power to improve your life within your family. Here are Lori Prokop’s 8 ways to create (or re-create) a happy family: </p><p>1) <strong>Start with yourself.</strong> Finding happiness starts by deciding that you will create the loving spirit that can create a happy family. Develop an energy and personality where simply your spirit and presence will heal others and rejuvenate your family. </p><p>2) <strong>Look at yourself.</strong> Ask yourself this question and give yourself a true answer: “Am I contributing to family happiness or unhappiness?” </p><p>3) <strong>Heal within any feelings of mistrust or anger.</strong> This can seem to be an impossible task. But it is achievable and vital to finding happiness and success. People make mistakes. Some make them only once. Others repeat their mistakes over and over. Each person is doing the best they can at the emotional intelligence level they have achieved. If someone is being hurtful, blameful, angry or attacking, they are living at a very low emotional intelligence level. That doesn’t mean you need to live in this painful place with them. Practice treating everyone in the family with love. You may not be able to be around them because of their chosen personality or behaviors. You can pray, intend or send loving energy to them. They will receive it and the power of love will heal them in remarkable ways, often better than we could have dreamed.</p><p>4) <strong>Choose to live in the upper six levels of your Life Guidance System.</strong> You have 21 emotional levels. Fifteen create what you don’t want and six emotional levels create what you do want. People ask me, “Lori Prokop, how can I live in the emotional levels that create more of what I want and result in finding happiness?” Don’t be a part of family problems. Heal yourself and become a cure. Don’t tell your family you have chosen to do this. Just do it. They will notice the difference. Your newly chosen emotional levels will create positive results. With your lead and example, your family members can learn to love and respect each other. </p><p>5) <strong>Encourage high regard for each other.</strong> Teach, by example, that each family member accepts all others and lets each be who they are. With some wisdom and insight, it is easy to see how people’s personalities have developed. Even if you are repulsed by someone, it is possible to see why they act as they do. When the development process and history of their personalities is respected, even the most difficult people lighten up. When people feel understood, they no longer feel the need to defend. Love and acceptance of each person’s history will create the feeling of goodwill and real understanding. </p><p>6) <strong>Have no certain expectations chiseled in stone.</strong> Rather, expect the best and be open to what that manifests as. When we expect something certain we are often limiting the outcome by our own limited thinking. Do not expect everyone to change at once or that it will come easily. For some the change seems immediate, for others it can take time. For some healing will seem effortless, others will need to hit rock-bottom before they begin. For some letting go of harmful beliefs, hurtful thinking and destructive prejudices happens gradually, sometimes only after personal pain or disasters. This is sometimes a challenge because we want things right now. Many times I say to myself, “Lori Prokop, why can’t these other people do the right things?” Pray their healing will be a safe, loving and wonderful experience. The most important element is that someone must start the healing. It will pick up for others from there.</p><p>7) <strong>Believe in assistance from a Higher Power.</strong> This is a non-religious, non-denominational, spiritual step. Miracles can and will happen for those who ask for help from a Source of 100% pure light and love. Choose actions and options that are 100% pure light and love.</p><p>8) <strong>Intend only the best for each family member.</strong> One person using their power of intention by sending energy of 100% pure light and love to other family members, though he or she may do it without others knowing, will in time see others are motivated to improve their lives. When the intention of 100% pure light and love becomes a family practice, members will grow deeper in spiritual connection and have an easier time finding happiness. So here is what Lori Prokop believes. Ultimately, you can change even the toughest family situation for the better. You can help family member experience success and help yourself in the process of finding happiness.</p>
