Ask Yourself Happiness? – Guest Post

Is anybody happier because you passed their way?

Is anybody happier because you spoke to them today?

Were you selfish plain and simple as you rushed along your way?

Or is someone mighty grateful for a deed you did today?

Can you say in parting with the day that’s slipping past

You helped a single person in the many that you’ve passed?

Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said?

Or is someone whose hopes were fading,

Now with courage looking ahead?

Did you waste a day or lose it, was it well or poorly spent?

Did you leave a trail of kindness, or a scar of discontent?

As you close your eyes in slumber, do you think that God would say

You have one more tomorrow for the work you did today?

May your life be filled with love, happiness and inspiration

I Love You

I hope everyone reading this is finding a way to be happy in life. I sincerely hope with all my love and energy you are all in a place in your life where you know you have control over anything between the cranium in your head. That you have control over the thoughts and perceptions you constantly create. Everything you receive from all of your senses you have the control over how you feel about it.

I write in this blog to reach someone and or anyone that could learn from my words and outlook in life. I have my critics and people that think I am not qualified to give advice or write about happiness. I think that if someone loves themselves enough to help others is more than qualified. If your stated of mind is that of a crazy person and yet you have the love and compassion in your heart to help…then you are qualified. That is my opinion of course. I have my opinion and you have yours. Love is for everyone.

I love you and want to reach out to you. I love you and want you to be happy. That is the purpose of my existence. I want to love everyone the rest of my life. You should have the same purpose in life. You can apply that philosophy towards your passions in life. If you are an artist then you will pour all of your love into your art to express to the world. If you are a doctor then you will pour all of your love into healing people. AND so on…. You get the point. Love one another through your passions.

I love you even though you do not love me. I love you even though you see me as a threat or I annoy you. I love you unconditionally. I love you even though you hate me.

We are so capable of changing our perceptions and yet we hold on to the past, stress out about the future and look past the wonderful things and people we can experience right in front of us. Wake up. I Love you.

Can You Let Go?

Can you let go of the hate. Are you able to love. How low do you need to get in your life to realize that you need to survive. There are so many things that distract us from our happiness and joy.sometimes I sit in public and I just watch people observing meditating. People are always looking down at their feet at their cell phone never making eye contact. Technology is a marvelous thing but it also keeps connecting with one another. People are always in a rush never taking the time to see the beauty around. In a Restaurant..five people in a family all on their cell phone how did we get there? Who knows maybe they’re texting each other and they’re shy.

It is never too late to break that cycle of detachment. We just need to look up into each other’s eyes into each other souls and love one another.

Time flies by before you know it you’re a grandparent children are adults you have wrinkles and gray hair everything ps Time flies by before you know it you’re a grandparent children are adults you have wrinkles and gray hair everything is sagging.
If you’re young slow down look around ..if your old slow down look around and enjoy the sky when you take walks around town.. enjoy life at a slow pace.

These are just my thoughts for the moment this is what I think about every day I worry society is losing sight of who we are and what we are and what we’re supposed to be .

I Love You

Let Go First

Happiness is Overrated. That is what I have been told recently. I have been told that what I have just started is a waste of time. That it is corny and it is out of my character. I have been told that the YouTube videos I have recorded are creepy and no one will watch. All of that might be true in their perspective, but from my perspective I don’t give a flying you know what they think. I know that I am doing something that will connect with one or two people that are too shy to ask for help. They internalize life in a very different way that is not healthy and they are trapped.

I am not a professional and I never claimed to be. I never claimed to have the answers to your problems. All I have is my heart and soul to express through the mediums I choose. There are so many people to reach that need to be loved. I have taken it upon myself to make myself available to whoever NEEDS to listen. If all I am is a stepping stone to opening up their eyes to something much more helpful then I have done my work. If I can encourage some of you that read this to help others as well then I will be proud to have sacrificed my time and money for this cause.

Depression and sadness is so common among us. We are all hurting souls. We all need a voice in our ear of encouragement. If I am beating a dead horse to all of you about this having a choice to be happy then let it be so. Sometimes I doubt myself and my efforts, the little voices get in my head and they are lies. I start to believe that I am not good enough. I have struggled in the past with severe insecurity which caused me to look for validation through other ways in my life. Ways that were not so healthy for my soul and the people that I love.

We all suffer when a loved one is afflicted with a disease or depression. We all are connected to one another on so many levels. We have to be aware of who we hurt when we are selfish and only think of ourselves.If you are reading this and I have hurt you in some way….I know what I did, I am truly sorry for my selfishness. All I can tell you is I am getting better and working on me everyday. I am loving everyone that I am capable of loving, learning how to release all hurt, guilt and regret to move forward. In order to be there for other people we have to let go of the self deprecation. We have to cleanse our souls on a daily basis. We have to stop blaming others for our hurts and failures. We have to stop thinking of our challenges as failures and count on the lesson that we learned to be there for the next challenge in life.

I love to ramble when I write. I love to get it all out. I love to not plan my thoughts. I am learning. I am learning to transition this way of thinking to my videos. I am so in love with all of my friends, relatives, children, grandchildren that I owe them my life for always being there. I am still alive today because I have not given up on them. I have not made the decision to leave this hurting world. I will be here for all of you because I love you. It is easier to be miserable, give up, make excuses, run away, walk out, turn your back, cry in shame, than to stand firm in your convictions, accept yourself for who you are, make a bold brave step forward and love unconditionally. We all deserve that level of love and we all deserve to experience giving that love.

Where do we go from here? Forward. Love!
