Happiness

What is happiness?  Have you ever given any thought to this question?  Happiness, I believe, is finding joy in each & every moment.  I think the problem that many of us have is going "in search of" happiness.  It's an idea that's been with our country from the very beginning, after all right in the Declaration of Independence "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Happiness isn't to be pursued, it's to be enjoyed.  If you're always looking for happiness you'll never find it.  Way to many of us make statements like; "When I get that new job, then I'll be happy." or "When I get married, then I'll be happy." we set ourselves up to delay what we can have right now.

Yes, the idea that happiness is enjoying every moment is a simple answer but truly it's the only way to discover what you're pursuing.  In actuality, happiness is living from your soul.  The closer we get to reconnecting with our "true self" or our "divine self" the happier we'll be.  We all have it within us to have anything we want.  God/universe only knows unlimited giving.  The problem is that we let our EGO dictate what we want or need to be happy.  This is rarely what we really need, as we discussed a while ago the EGO lies.  It only wants the things that will satisfy the EGO not what will satisfy the soul.  To find true happiness we need to rediscover our divinity....we have to find out who we truly are!

Live from the soul, reconnect with your source & find happiness in every moment of every day!

Till Tomorrow,

Quote of the day: "Happiness isn't something to pursue, it's something to enjoy in every moment of everyday! Be happy & live in the now."
