Joy

I do not know where to begin. Sometimes I feel that I cannot go in public with out running into an asshole. If I am thinking this way am I asking for it? Maybe but the fact is that they are walkways out there it is how we approach the situation.

I didn’t do so well recently. If I am to be a teacher of Happiness how do I go against what I teach and live? We are not perfect and at times we will be weak and fall prey to these instigators. There is always someone opposite of you and there will be a clash or a contradiction.

Handling this contradiction or opposite energy can be approached many ways. If you know you are in the opposite direction to the positive then you need to maintain the course. Do not look back. Be strong. Use your power. Love. Be calm and composed. Funny as I type this I have to admit I did the opposite. I instigated someone who disagrees with me and then I proceeded to look for an altercation. For Christ sake I am 51 behaving irrationally. I regressed to the mindset that we see reported on the new every night.

My ego was insulted and I had to stand my ground. This is a bullshit fear. A fear of being embarrassed? A fear of being humiliated or humbled? Would that have been so bad?

In my admission I see a light and a flickering hope. One I learned a lesson in forgiveness and humility and the gentleman learned bullying and intimidation is not appropriate. I say this without justification just an observation.

Quit Your Bitching and Moaning!I often use this and it recently got me in trouble but I will not stop saying it to people. If it offends someone then I guess I am on the right track. I am not saying this statement with the intent to offend anyone… I actually say it with all the compassion my heart can put out there. I love people so much that I want to have an awakening of consciousness to believe in the positivity to overcome challenging moments rather than complain thinking that will be a way of dealing with it. Complaining only adds to the pain and prepares you for more negativity. It is like you addicted to the wrong things that happen in your life. Instead of looking at events that are painful in your life as a negative we need to look at these moments as opportunities to strengthen our resolve and resiliency.
Love is a great answer and it gives us clarity to find a solution in any moment of challenge in our lives. If we start from a place of love then we can repel attacks that are unwarranted. We think we are being attacked intentionally and most times we are just in the line of fire for someone else’s experience. We need to realize that. I agree there is a percentage of moments where people are attacking us personally…. Even then we can respond with love internally first and then outwardly. Internally knowing we are good and no one else’s opinion or attack can be taken personal. Outwardly not being violent and or falling into the mindset they are in.
We have to be a beacon of light showing the world and more specifically our loved ones and those close to us in our daily grind that we are positive beings being courageous fighting for a happiness mindset. Having a happiness mindset takes hard work and consistency. We have to continually know that our perception starts with an acknowledgment and an acceptance of who we are in a current state. We need to live in the (cliché) moment! Yes living in the moment and being mindful that this moment will create tomorrow. If we are in a negative state of mind in the present moment chances are we are creating a negative tomorrow by reaping what we sowed today.
Getting back to the title and my justification for continuing to say what I said….
Quit your bitching and moaning! Because you will plant of seed of negativity in your life and acknowledge that you are what is coming out of your mouth…hence….everything you are complaining about!

I am happy but …… I don’t know what to do.Does this resonate with you? Are you happy and do not know what to do next? Everyday you wake up knowing what your passion is and yet still live in a fear of trying that which would give you fulfillment? We all have something we would love to do everyday for the rest of our lives. We live in a self insecure state of mind because it seems outside of our belief that we can do that thing. 

How do we get past the fear of living our passion? We can sit and work on convincing ourselves every day and struggle with that idea. I myself struggle with possibilities we are capable of and infinite number of possibilities we just have to believe we are able. 

Sincerely all we have to do is believe and truly see ourselves in that state. It is that easy? No of course not it takes hard work in thought first. Belief and faith takes courage and effort. You have to learn to change a perception that has taken a lifetime to develop. 

How do we begin? We are already happy. That is the first step. How can you let that happiness manifest your dreams? If you are truly happy and have that confidence that no matter what happens in life you always feel that sense of security from your joy on a daily basis then you have what it takes to manifest your passion and dream. 

If you are happy you have nothing to lose. If you are truly happy with yourself and your being …. adding your passion or heading towards attaining that and taking on the journey is just another experience. Pass or fail is not a choice. You are already successful because you are happy. Whether you achieve living your passion or not you will always be Happy right? So what have you got to lose?! Figure it out and do what you love! 

I have had a long and fruitful life full of amazing memories. I am thankful for all the wonderful experiences I have been blessed to have had along the way. I have lived, loved and lost. Some people say it would be a lie to say there are no regrets. I look at my life differently than that. All of my experiences I have had have made me the person I love today. 

So many people have had an impact on my life and I love all of them. I have been fortunate enough to have been entrusted with the heart of individuals seeking help from me. When someone asked for spiritual or life guidance it is a humble honor to be that person of influence and or love and guidance. This I do not take lightly.  Helping others by influencing in a positive way is my purpose. 

If you have helped anyone in your life whether it is in a mentoring capacity or just giving advice you know that all it takes is to be in a better place over them to be qualified. If they come to you and ask you ?…. Please give. Do not be afraid to give of yourself. Do not be intimidated by the thought that someone is entrusting their life in your hands. They are offering you a chance to work with them to heal. That is an honor and a privilege. 

We cannot let society and the trend of everything else get in the way of doing the right thing and that is to live for another in a capacity where we are willing to cry for one another in love and compassion not in a judgmental state of mind. Receive one another in love that we may be able to heal daily because we are there for one another. 

I hope this has helped in some way. The Redt of our Lives should be that of Love, unconditionally.
