HAPPY AND...Yesterday, I got hit with a cosmic two by four. I learned something about BEING happy. It comes from the inside. No joke! I know that I have been saying that for years but yesterday, I finally understood it in a tangible way. My perspective of my life yesterday was dim. I was focusing on everything that was wrong and it kept getting worse. Finally, I got the two by four (right across the metaphorical forehead). Crack!
My husband Andrew pointed out that I recently wrote "happiness is a choice" in my upcoming book. Duh! I wasn't CHOOSING happiness yesterday. Instead I was choosing to empower my interpretation of my life situation.
Here's the thing: there were a lot of unpleasant circumstances in my life yesterday. The "story" was dramatic. But, I learned that I can be HAPPY AND... still have all of those unpleasant circumstances. I can choose to find happiness inside of me despite the unpleasant circumstances. It looks something like this:
I AM HAPPY AND... my kids are fighting with each other
I AM HAPPY AND... I feel overwhelmed with all I have to do
I AM HAPPY AND... my knees hurt
I AM HAPPY AND... I feel money pressure
Get it? HAPPY AND...
Try it!
