Happiness

I am grateful for happiness.  It’s fleeting moments of joy.  Those bits of pleasure that get you loving life and your role in it.

Now let’s be real.

To be deliriously happy all the time would be it’s own form of hell if you lost your ability to feel what others are feeling.  If you were so wrapped up in yourself you couldn’t understand suffering, or challenge, or frustration.  If you were oblivious to all those around you.

To be miserable all the time on the other hand, would be a terrible existence.  Worse in many, many ways.

That said, to be happy is an amazing thing to be.

This, for me, comes back to the power of ‘I am’.

I am are the two most powerful words in the world.  What follows, defines you.

For those who are enlightened, who desire nothing more than to simply be, I am by itself is enough.

For the rest of us, what follows I am impacts how you think, what you do, and how happy you are now and into the future.

It is amazing when you take control of what you are, how it impacts how you see life, how you interpret the world and everything in it.  How events relate to you, and or do not relate to you.

That is the amazing part.  How you see life is your reality.

How you live your life is the truth.  What you do defines you, and the way you live is your joy.

I choose to be happy.  Therefore I am happy.

Are you?
