Be Happier Now
How simple it is to see that all the worry in the world cannot control the future. How simple it is to see that we can only be happy now. And that there will never be a time when it is not now. – Gerald Jampolsky
What is holding you back from being happy now? Lack of money? Hate your job? Don’t have the relationship you are looking for? Don’t feel fulfilled? Not being who you really are? Too many responsibilities? Too much work to do? Worry too much?
Whatever your particular problem areas turn out to be, in the long run they aren’t the reason you are unhappy. In fact they are simply excuses or justifications we have made that put the responsibility for our happiness on someone or something else. It’s a lot easier to blame external forces for our unhappiness. Taking responsibility for your own happiness can be challenging for most of us. I know it was for me.
No matter what our circumstances are…. No matter what life we were born into…. No matter what our parents have done…. No matter how much money we have…. We always have the choice to be happier at any moment in time.
Make the choice to be happier one thought at a time. You really don’t have to do any more than this. Take any thought and turn it just a little more positive. Take that new thought and turn it just a little more positive. It doesn’t matter where you start from; depression, anger, frustration, optimism, hope, joy. You can do this anywhere and anyplace. No special training is needed.
Just one thought at a time. Think about it. Make the choice now.
Have a great day!
