We probably all want happiness and inner well-being. However, sometimes we lack uplifting thoughts, we forget the meaning and purpose that gave our lives a sense of direction, or we feel discouraged and stressed in the face of adversity.

Is it really so difficult to create inner well-being for ourselves?

Dependence on others for inner well-being.
In difficult times, we all need all the comfort and encouragement that family members can get. The boss can give us time to recover. Our friends can put us where they live for a while. But can others make us happy, deeply happy? Therapists know that despite their therapeutic skills, there are always clients who do not improve. They also realize that they cannot take full credit from those who improve looking for a personal change. You can drive a horse into the water, but you can't drink it. Unless people take responsibility for their lives, nothing changes, regardless of the experience they provide.

Trust only your own efforts for inner well-being.
Many wondered if they would never find inner well-being when they were going through a terrible personal crisis or feeling apathetic and isolated from work. If they tried to create hope, trust and satisfaction, even with the help of others, they probably encountered great difficulties.

In my own experience, sometimes I lack inspiration and strength to follow what I imagine is the right direction, which I appreciate and make sense. I ended up accepting that I had the freedom and, therefore, the responsibility of trying to do something for my life. But that, I can't do it alone. I can go in the right direction, but I cannot create tolerance and generosity in myself simply by having the right intentions. The soul needs to be fed.

Transpersonal energy creating inner well-being.
I would suggest that, in addition to our own feelings and desires, personal growth comes from greater light and greater energy. A superior power that gives us inner well-being to handle the obstacles that life imposes on us and resist our personal demons. This idea of ​​superior power, whatever its design, also reflects the various 12-step recovery programs available for various types of personal problems, for example, Alcoholics Anonymous.

These group interventions share the view that there is a spiritual source beyond ourselves that can provide an influx of healing power. In his bestseller, The Road Less Traveled, psychiatrist Scott Peck points out that natural growth and healing, mystical experiences and happy coincidences are common. He says that these are manifestations of a powerful force from outside the human consciousness that promotes the spiritual growth of human beings. He calls her Grace. It is a force other than, and also, our conscious will. It identifies him with the power of love. The desire to nurture the inner well-being of people.

The Swedenborg Experience
Emanuel Swedenborg was a mystical and spiritual Christian philosopher born in the 17th century. Once, he had a vision of a bright presence. He said that a bright light had appeared in the same way that the sun appears to us all. One that radiated spiritual heat and light. The light symbolizes the wisdom that illuminates our thinking: warmth, the feeling of compassion that warms our worries. He said that this spiritual sun, normally invisible to us, is the origin of all that is good and true in life and, therefore, of our inner well-being. The physical sun in our sky is the basis of our geography and our time. Similarly, for him, the visionary sun was the basis of any direction and personal direction.

As an extension of this mystical experience, Swedenborg comments on the biblical account of creation: he said that it should not be taken literally, but rather a record of the possible creation of spiritual development in each person. On the fourth day of the creation myth, the sun, moon and stars formed. Speaking symbolically, receiving sunlight illuminates our understanding of the higher principles: receiving one's warmth awakens in us a concern for others. The image below represents an individual who recognizes for the first time that there is a superior source of deeper thinking and kindness that comes from outside. Swedenborg argues that this recognition is essential. Without this, we only depend on ourselves to find inner well-being. And that will lead to disappointment, pride and the feeling that something is missing.

Conclusion on inner well-being.
Swedenborg wrote in Christian times in Europe. Today, many people no longer believe in a personal God. I suspect that among non-religious, however, there are many who believe in a universal spiritual source of everything. In other words, they recognize a deity that is beyond and potentially within the individual. A model that inspires and is the source of compassion for others, as well as for our own inner well-being. In addition, the starting point of common sense to know what are the useful and effective ways of acting.

Whatever our problems, I would say that internal well-being is possible if we can learn to communicate with this divine creative spirit. And continue connecting. This can be seen as the kind of love that is something real in itself that flows in us from the outside. An infinite and eternal reality that goes beyond our own limits.
