Thanksgiving just passed. And I’m thinking of all the blessings in my life. However, I usually find things that I am grateful for regularly. So let’s start with the basics. My family. My friends. Having wonderful people I care about in my life. My amazing husband. He works hard to make sure that we have a great life. My parents. They’re always there for me no matter what. My siblings. My fun, crazy, loving siblings. They make me laugh. Our family dog, Butterball!! So precious. Love how he will only want to sleep with us on our beds. My extended family - aunts, uncles, cousins. Boy they are so much fun! I’m happy that I have a job!! Yes, a job that is totally chill and gives me the income I need. I’m happy that I have a passion and goal in life. It’s what keeps me going. I’m grateful for all the people and resources in my path that have helped shape my skills into what it is now. Grateful that I’m already done with school. Boy am I glad that I don’t have to take tests like that anymore! Grateful for getting our new car!! We needed one badly months ago, so we put it out there, kept the faith, and ended up receiving a car that was better than expected! Loved the whole process of it! Grateful for all the wonderful trips I’ve taken and cultural experiences I’ve had. Next trip for me is France and I can’t wait!!! I am so thankful that I am aware and that I have control of myself and my emotions. That I know for sure that I can create my own reality. That is one thing that I’m super appreciative about. Also all the spiritual teachers and masters that have helped me understand life and make it the best. So grateful for all the wonderful insight and wisdom that I’ve come across in the past several years. Books, DVDs, websites…all mixing within this mind of mine and appreciating the common message of everything which comes down to love. Yes, love. It’s what matters. It’s the Truth. It’s the only reality and all we gotta do is decide to live in it and be a part of it. Because it’s who we are. It’s our source. Love. Joy. Abundance. Yep. I’m grateful for all these wonderful feelings, emotions, and experiences that this earthly life brings.

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!!! ![]()
