What if I told you that you have free will and you can use it to choose to be happy or to be negative. Many people would probably doubt this statement, but being happy is a choice. Your choice of being happy has a greater influence on your life than you believe. When you choose be happy, you broadcast a high energetic vibration to the Universe that is full of love, joy and gratitude. As a result of this high energetic vibration, you will begin to attract all of sorts of glorious things and experiences into your life. Furthermore, when you are happy, you can overcome any negative emotions such as anger, sadness, frustration, guilt, desperation and fear. These negative emotions simply dissipate when you are devoted to embodying your nature divine state of happiness.
“Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.” ~ Mildred Barthel
Many people have been conditioned to believe that external stimulus such as your spouse or children acting and conforming to what you believe is correct and proper, winning the lottery, getting a promotion at work, having a new baby or buying a new car will make you happy. Although external things or the actions of other people can engender feelings of euphoria for you, they are often only ephemeral, thus you cannot sustain them for very long. Have you ever noticed when you purchased a new car, and you felt really happy. As you drove your new car, you felt proud and happy that you owned it. But what happens after about three or four weeks, the feelings soon subside, and you begin to look at the next car you want to own.
Perhaps, in some way, that is a good thing because the Universe is reminding you that happiness really does come from outside of you.
Instead, happiness comes from within, and it is available to you and me at any moment. True happiness has very little to do with external events, circumstances, things, and other people because happiness is an inside job.
I can say this because is simply a conscious choice, and it is a state of BEING that you can make in each moment of the day no matter what is occurring in your life. Simply choose to understand that you are already free from needing “this or that” in order to be happy. You don’t need anything in life to be happier in this moment because you can always choose to be grateful for who you are and what you have in your life even if you think it should be different. You can feel this joy inside for no reason other than exercising your free will and choosing to be it. Simply choose to be an energetic ball of light, love and joy!
”Act happy, feel happy, be happy, without a reason in the world. Then you can love, and do what you will.” ~ Dan Millman
If you intend to live a prosperous life, your mission is to go beyond playing those “unhappy roles” that keeps most people trapped in negativity and step into being the Divine being you really are. All of your unhappy thoughts and feelings are just caused by negative thinking patterns, and they are not who you truly are.
You are much larger than a handful of thoughts. In fact, you are a manifestation of Source (God)!
As a manifestation of Source, your nature state is Love and Happiness! Once you truly realize this, happiness will find you. Surrender to your greatest experience of happiness right now in this moment. Find your most authentic expression of boundless joy and happiness, and express it!
When you do, this simply creates more happiness. Once you continuously vibrate at this level, the Universe will reward you with even more satisfying experiences that snowball into manifesting even happier feelings and experiences for you!
The greatest secret you can learn for experiencing a perpetual state of happiness is to remain completely present to the “NOW” moment in whatever activity you are engaged in. The past is over, and the future does not exist. So, the more you can be completely absorbed in the “NOW”, the more your energy expands which allows you to feel higher about life!
If you are currently not being happy and joyous, just express gratitude for what you have in your life. Close you eyes, and list ten specific (good) things you are grateful for experiencing or having in your life. Include not just the people in your life and your accomplishments, but also include your positive qualities and what you have to offer to the world.
Really feel your vibrations of gratitude for these things. As you begin to express gratitude, your feelings will shift to a state of happiness and joy because you can’t be grateful and feel negative emotions such as anger, overwhelm, frustration, and fear.
As an alternative, you can find something that brings you great pleasure such as sitting outside in the garden under an old tree and listening to the birds sing, or watching puppies or cats playing and just savoring the moment.
Happiness is always available to all of us. It is our natural state and you need only to allow it in. At any moment, you can stop, take a few deep breaths, and remember who you really are, and why you came here, and that truly is to experience joy and the aliveness of being.
“Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.” ~Nathaniel Hawthorne
So, today, no matter what is going on in your life, take a few moments to breathe deeply and just choose to BE happy.
May there be a miracle in your life today… May you have the awareness to see it…And the thoughtfulness to be grateful for it.
Namaste,
RC
