Happiness
Tuesday, January 23, 2007 at 11:31PM How does it feel to discover happiness is not earned, but is freely given? Real and lasting happiness is grounded in love. This is something you cannot buy, or put a measurable price on.
In essence, true happiness is not created by your circumstances or perception of love. It is the source of your creative power. It is something you open yourself to as you open the heart more fully. A Divine connection awakens and grows. Sometimes it helps to have guidance to recall that you are whole and healed. Notice if you tell yourself there is something wrong with you. Notice how you distract focus from joy. Let go of the fault-finding mind. Alter everything.
As you feel increasingly connected with your soul and why you were born, real happiness emerges. Recognize that as you ask a question, the answer is simultaneously given. Your sense of happiness is linked to harnessing your creative power. Nothing outside of you has potential to affect you as deeply. Sometimes interacting with others is a stepping stone to finding yourself.
As you see more clearly, you cannot help but smile broadly. The truth about happiness is obvious in the here and now. Embody joy. Allow it to fill you; go on, laugh yourself silly.
