Make Peace With What Is (How to Be Happy Now)

The only thing that really matters at the end of the day is your happiness. To feel good. Yeah everyone is striving to become something or to have something — to reach a specific goal or outcome in life. Yet, the reason why anyone wants these things is because they believe they’ll be satisfied and finally be happy. So why go through all the trouble and worry about striving for your desires when you can just be happy now? I’m not saying to not have goals and attain them. I’m just saying why do we have to sacrifice feeling good during the process. As the case for me and many others we tend to worry about when or how our desired manifestations will occur. But now that I know that happiness is really all that matters whenever I find myself with negative thoughts and/or emotions, I try to find a way to feel better now. Like the other day, I was all feeling sad about the fact that I haven’t reached a new level career-wise. Then I remembered that I have made huge strides and I just have to be patient with myself. And then I started to think of all the cool and awesome things that have happened already. Then I decided I’m just going to watch a funny TV show to get me in a better mood (I just discovered Raising Hope and it’s absolutely hilarious). And you know what ~ I felt a lot better. I was laughing. Happy. Yay!!! And then I realized the fact that I’m happy means that I reached my ultimate goal — of being happy. So what’s there to sweat or be unhappy about? Nothing. Things are good now. I mean if you’re in a bad situation I guess you have to find those little diamonds in the rough that can make your day. If it’s really bad (and trust me I’ve been there) sometimes just looking out your window and seeing the sun and blue sky can be that one good thing. And if it’s raining then maybe it’s the fact you have a roof over your head. But if you absolutely hate your life and want to end it, then maybe it’s the fact that hey at least you still have your mind and you have the free will to do whatever you please. And if you have that realization that you’re in control ultimately, then you can choose to be happy. Make peace with what is. When you do make that peace, nothing else really matters and things/people/situations can’t bother you anymore. You’re free. You’re happy. It’s your life. Live it the best way you can with whatever you have right now. Also making a list of what you’re grateful for is another way to help you see the light. In this world, there are opposites, light and dark, positive and negative. And because you have a wonderful mind you have the ability to choose which side to focus on. It’s all about focus and attention really. And when you make it a habit to focus on only the positive, you become that. You have created inner peace and your outer world simultaneously reflects that. Again, nothing can sway you otherwise.

I AM HAPPY TO BE HAPPY NOW!!! :)

There Is Great Love For You

A lot of my previous articles talked about love and heartache. Writing about them was a sort of way to release some emotion and it helped me understand the relationship and eventually heal. It took some time, yes, but it can be done. In fact I found ‘the one’/my twin flame. My husband. But before that let me share with you that I ultimately had to come to the decision that I wanted a lasting true romance where there was unconditional love and ditch the ‘whatever I can get’ mentality. I had to realize that I freakin’ was worthy and deserved those amazing relationships that only seemed but a myth. And then after that moment of clarity, I had to show what I wanted to myself. Yes, I had to learn how to love myself. See, before you could experience true love, you have to love yourself. Sounds simple but for many people including myself, it proved to be rather difficult. When you grow up not having not much of a self-esteem or had been abused in some form or another, loving yourself becomes a challenge. Hell, it doesn’t even factor in at all. I used to seek out love and really bend and twist for someone to love me. And when they liked me or “loved” me it became an obsession to keep that love, that feeling of ecstasy to flow towards me at all times. And when the partner stopped reciprocating or didn’t reciprocate in the way I wanted, then down depression road I went. In short, I became co-dependent. I needed that “love” like I needed crack. In retrospect, that wasn’t true love. Because true love consists of two whole people who overflow their own love to one another — not one siphoning affection from the other. Anyway, I read the Peter McWilliams book Love 101 to learn that the greatest love comes from you and only you. So I started doing things on my own and enjoying my own company. And the funny thing is when I finally liked doing those things, shortly after I met my husband, AND I had no intention of meeting any one that night I went out with one of my girlfriends. I guess what I’m trying to say is when you want that somebody special in your life, you can’t be desperately seeking it. You got to just be happy on your own and the universe just brings you together at the right time. Also, I had a lot of faith and I just knew that everything’s okay and I would meet him at the right time. Oh and what stood out between my husband from the rest was that my relationship with him was just easy. Caring and loving each other just came with great ease. I never was needing that love from him. It just flowed between us naturally. There is some wisdom to that old adage, “you know when you’ll know.” Trust me. There is great love for you (from you and from your soul mate)! Check out the video below b/c this I also used to get me to clarity about finding a true lasting relationship.
