In the midst of change sometimes we forget what is available to us right now..this very moment. How often do we say to ourselves I will be happy WHEN..i lose 10 pounds, I have the ass of Gisele, i have a million dollars, I have a fast fancy red car, i have my degree, I get married, i have children..oh the list goes on and on..AND how often do we reach those goals to find out that THEY don't make us all that much happier than before??
You see, what makes us happy is within us every moment of everyday. Being happy is a CHOICE. Imagine that on for size!! We CAN be happy without having to achieve anything, we can be blissful and excited just sitting here starring into cyberspace. I woke up to a quote today from a friend of mine that has been sober for two years...'life is too short to care about anything but happiness'..now for those of us that have to have certain criteria in place to be happy that sounds like a load of hogwash...ONLY because that would mean coming out of our certain unhappiness and being free to be happy even if the house is not clean, the dishes are not done and there is cat poop in the hallway.
The absolute truth is we can CHOOSE to be happy at any time..don't believe me? Ok..bring yourself to a total state of stress and intensity...come on I know you can do it...are you there yet? Really intense discomfort..unhappiness even...are you there?? Now FART..and I mean a loud juicy stinky NASTY thing..come on...I know you can do it....are you smiling?? Can we really change our state that quickly? The answer is yes..ever broke down crying only to be laughing in the midst of your tears 3 minutes later..ever been really angry and then something happened to bring you to extreme giggles..well guess what? WE are in control of those states, they are not in control of us...shocking I know.
Full emotional responsibility lies in OUR hands. We are too often led to believe that feelings happen to us, that something from outside is what is making us feel a certain way..that someone or something else is to blame, that we have to WAIT to be happy.
Happiness is NOW. You CAN have happiness before you lose 10 pounds or get your phd, you can be blissfully happy with yourself right now this very moment. .. For the simple fact that you were born perfecty imperfect and loved beyond any doubt from a source that is never ending and beats inside your chest even when you don't notice. You can choose to be happy no matter what your parents taught you or what anyone tells you..YOU are the master controller of your universe, you are the decision maker of your life, you are worth so much MORE every single day.
Side note: Being truely happy by your own choice IS the fountain of youth!! I have seen so many people go from looking haggered, stressed, OLD, sunken, destroyed, TENSE and empty to ALIVE and vibrant and young and full of love and happiness and PEACE just by realizing and bringing into reality who they really are and what life is all about, by realizing that THEY are in control of every part of their lives, they have been released from the burdens of guilt, blame, shame, despair, self pity and so much more by getting aligned with emotional responsibility and LOVE from within themselves that is overflowing once the bars of self containment have been removed. Because NOW they CHOOSE happiness more often then anything else.
Happiness is available to you right NOW, it is instantaneous! If you have spent a long time away from happiness it may take a little practice but it will be soo very worth it!!
Tell me...what makes you laugh deep down in your belly??
from my heart to yours.....
