The Habit of Happiness!

I must confess: I’m still a child!

I’m happy and explorative. I’m contagious with laughter and silliness. And I’m curious and helpful. That’s really me! Still no credentials. Still no image nor status to uphold. Just happiness and blessings, good vibes and an open mind.

And so the bottom line is this; if you’re going to be happy, you need to make a decision to be happy right now!

•Happiness does not depend on your circumstances.
•Happiness doesn’t depend on your will.

It’s a perspective. And it’s arrival depends on whether or not you have a compelling reason. So what’s your reason? I’ve gone through some of the most awful and unfortunate situations. Frankly, I just knew, did, and saw too much. And yet you would never have known. You see me and you see a smile on my face and a good report on my lips. Not because I’ve bottled it all down. But because I’m free and I have nothing to hide! And in spite of all those dire dilemmas, I still remained positive, upbeat and energetic. And it’s because of this:

• I took a risk!
• I’m a believer!
• I’m still a child!
• I’m easy and simple!
• I’m wild and free!
• And my purpose is that I let life use me on purpose!

And so heres the key: the mind has three states it can operate as: 1. Compulsively expectant, 2. Uncommonly faithful, or 3. Compulsively controlling.

• The compulsively controlling person has developed their mind to see the need. They’re worried they’ll be less if they don’t have more. They are compulsive in their need to know and in their need to control. They’re passionate and always needing to do many things.

• The uncommonly faithful person has developed a habit of happiness. They are moral bound, pure, hopeful, trusting, and believing for the best. They are open and vulnerable, transparent and inviting, playful and excited, helping and supportive. And they are always calm, preserving the essence of this energy.

• The compulsively expectant person has developed their mind to see the negative. They are worried, frustrated, and always complaining with required needs that must be met. They wonder if things will ever work out. They keep tabs on everybody and they do things further their sadness.

And so here’s the truth. If you’re going to develop a habit of happiness, choose the middle mind-path! Because it’ll show you how to relax and how to go with the flow! Instead of getting frustrated, it’ll show you how to believe that life is in control. And that means you have no need to be stressed out or worried. It’s a process of learning to be grateful for what you have, rather than complaining about what you don’t have.

Each day is full of surprises and inconveniences. So you just got to accept the fact that not everything is going to always go your way. But more importantly, knowing that they are a test to see how uncommon your faith really is.
