Happiness Is A Warm Puppy; Only I Can't Feel It

Bliss Is In The Moment

I Am Going To Be Happy Later

We all want to be happy surely.But not now. To delay happiness is a cultural infection of sorts.Happiness is a mental concept.A distant reality dangling from a possibility that might happen.Or might not. Fear of falling short of our distant dreams eats into our present moments;and our feelings .I guess it seems better to prolong the waiting;than meet the improbability.And that is how we spend the major chunks of our lives.Yet happiness seldom knocks on the door of our day, uninvited.So we spend our slippery moments in tireless waiting.For that final knock.

Like a drop of frozen wax,for most of us, happiness is just an object;an idea.No more a feeling.

Yet you know; it can be created ,and felt.

Create That Feeling

Happiness is a silky gush within the velvet walls of your heart.Unlike a dry mental vision sleeping on a bed of neurons in your brain.When you feel happy you experience lightness and an urge to reach out.You expand.You want to help,you forgive without effort,and you like yourself.It’s deeply satisfying.

And it’s immediate.

When you think about being happy, it’s just a plan waiting to unfold later.Perhaps to be shared over a drink.

Yet the intriguing secret is that you can feel happy;but only if you want to.

Here's what works ,more often than not.............

Count Your Blessings.

How many blessings can you count?Why not make yourself a blessing- counting champ? Can you be a champion for the cause of your own happiness?The fact is you can be.This is the least you can do for yourself.Believe me, you deserve it.

Squeeze The Lemon Of This Moment

Each moment arrives at your doorstep with its own mishmash of juices;bittersweet,salty,aromatic,lingering,and downright boring.Only we need to decide what to do with them.It’s not a hard choice though,if you know how to squeeze the good juices out of this moment.Of course all times will not be ringing with jubilation.We know that.But can you use your creative sights to wring out your joy?

Can you smile at yourself?

Is it banned in any way?

Can you pat yourself on the back now and then?

Can you take yourself less seriously?

Can you give yourself a sip of unadulterated, inner happiness,even if for a few seconds a day?

Is there a silent police car waiting to pounce on you ,if you indulge in your “juices of joy”?

You know the answer, don’t you?

There is no fun,hawk like, in clutching onto your grudges,regrets,pain,worries,and fallacies.You deserve better.

Be happy for your own well being.

Smell The Roses

Sounds corny?Smell the roses.

But try it one day.Just for the sheer heck of it.And when you do it,close your eyes and permit yourself to feeeeel the smell really within the inter spaces of your cells.Time might pause for a few aromatic moments under your nostrils;as you inhale the primal fragrance .It’s the bubbling happiness of the universe connecting with you through your smell cells.Let it.

Let yourself.

Commit Yourself To Feeling Than Thinking

Thinking is good for your survival.It helps you navigate the dark alleys of your city.It helps you plan.It also helps you analyse.The glitch is,often times it becomes intoxicating,and then you over think.

But feeling is something else.

It seldom happens inside the whirring wheels of your brain.It unfolds somewhere in your chest,and it transports you far and fast towards your fulfillment.So you need to commit yourself to feeling happy.It’s stems from your decision to feel more.To control less.To respond spontaneously more.To trust your gut ,and the goodness of the universe more.

After all there is a Higher Intelligence at work somewhere ,and you know it in your heart of hearts.You didn't make yourself did you?There was Infinite Creative Intelligence at work even when you were being conceived in the womb. At the very least, be bold enough to trust that Cosmic Software to support your decision to feel happy.

Laugh Many Times

Laughter is the sauce to garnish the morsels of your fragmented moments .Indulge in it.Enjoy the heave of the universe spasm through your chest,through your throat,through your eyes,through those wrinkles on your face; as you let out your joy.

Worship life with incense.Of  your own laughter.

Yesterday Is 1000 Years Old

There is one thing very good about the past;nostalgia.It raises goosebumps when you revisit yesterday’s moments of bliss.And it also troubles you endlessly if you are particularly weak at resisting negative memories.But we certainly now that yesterday will never ,ever come back again.

Its gone forever.

Your moment of agony may have happened yesterday ,or a decade back ,or ten years ago,or a thousand.It’s all the same.So you just must let go of the past,once you decide that you’re going to enjoy your present.Why barricade yourself within imaginary prisons of a dead era?

Tomorrow Is Not Doomsday

Yesterday is a faint cloud,and tomorrow is a shimmering mirage in the hot sands of your vision.You see many things happening tomorrow.Some are exciting;and some distressing.And if you’re someone constantly knocked down by discouraging possibilities,and bitten by the worry ants then tomorrow will surely chew into your strong muscles.

You need to know that tomorrow is just a possibility.

Not necessarily a disheartening one.Of course problems ,and curve balls will fly out of the sky at you.They come at everyone anyway.What you need to focus on is your ability to solve your problems,not be worn down by them.Problems are never stronger than the humans connected with them.Unless they convince themselves otherwise.So even if tomorrow is a huge mountain of unsolved issues,take heart.You are stronger than you think.

In the meantime be happy ,as you await another sunrise.

Let Go Of That Boulder Of Grudge & Regret

You have been bashed in the past by situations,people,events,little failures,big embarrassments.So what’re you goin’ to do about it now?

Carry that heavy,laden,rundown feeling with you for life? 

Is it worth it?

Is that what you’re here for?

Does it really bring you any sense of accomplishment?

Are you so helpless before your perceived pains,and hurts that you cant stand firm in the face of new challenges?

These questions are important,and you must interrogate yourself.When you do that you’ll  most likely hear some commonsense answers,from within.

Empower yourself.

Let go.Smile.Enjoy.

Over to you my friends............
