Deciding to Be Happy

Vibe Commentary 2/12

Greetings all,
I appreciate your return. I’m repeating my oprning since I haven’t used it for a few Posts. This may be a new point of view to most who may read this Blog. This will be a somewhat different perspective. I’m “railing against the wind” but instead I am offering a common sense understanding of how the Law of Attraction relates to the everyday things we all do. We all have “issues” that come from our Perspective; from where we want to feel “relief”.

Today’s Thought: Deciding to be Happy
“Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”-Abraham Lincoln

Author’s Take: This author was able to grasp the real meaning behind the idea of our former, and one of the most important and influential presidents in U.S. history. The fact is that most people wait for or desire a certain set of circumstances in order to achieve a level of happiness beyond their present condition. The reality is that many people are already happy in their lives Without the “things” others have to find more happiness. Stated plainly; these people simply “Decide” to be happy where they are and with what they have.

Ending Thought: “Happiness is a state of mind, not a set of circumstances. I can-and will-choose to be happy today.”
—————————————————————This day’s quote is one of my very favorites. I agree totally with both the author and Mr. Lincoln. Happiness, and (I believe) everything else IS a matter of choice.
I have said for many years that you always have a Choice, no matter what. You might not like the options or the outcome of the decision; but you have a Choice. However, these same people do not Choose to experience a better existence when they only have to Choose to believe that they can alter their condition by merely deciding to make the necessary changes in their perspective.

Happiness comes from within & conditions or circumstances are not the source of Happiness. The decision to FEEL happy is as any emotion, a choice.

The choice of Happiness or another feeling is a State of Mind & choosing to be happy today, now is what is important.
—————————————————————
For as long as I can remember, I have thought & believed that everything was a choice. This didn’t make me more popular in school, with students or teachers.!! My choice was usually to offer the options. I also usually chose to be happy.
In today’s social climate, image & (assumed) perceptions are the forefront of perspective. The new car, house, job, mate, clothes are all desired as Need to squeeze a little more happiness out of life. All the while wanting the next New thing to Feel Happy. “If I won the lottery..” or “When I get that new, better, higher paying job; car , house…I’ll be happy.” We all say it from time to time. It’s part of the process of creating, why we’re here. When we have something, anything; it becomes common, routine after a while. Even the most enjoyable activity can get to be mundane if performed too often. When that happens, we Want something to replace it, something that will Make Me Happy.!!
This is called Conditional Living; relying on a Set of Conditions to exist FIRST so as to feel more satisfaction.

In a lot of cases, we don’t really Want the next New thing but the feelings Having IT will give us. The base of this premise is Wanting the FEELING of happiness but thinking that it will come because of the Physical object of desire instead of from the thought of Having it.!! How many times have you Wanted something, thinking it would make you happy but when you finally got it, the satisfaction level was less than expected & now your feelings are less that the Happiness you’d hoped for. So now you Want another New thing…

Many have been taught that Things, having things is what matters in terms of your Worth to society & yourself. The idea of Acquiring more things brings joy because of the Belief that it increases your value, makes you a better person or makes others see you differently.
Law of Attraction perpetuates this condition by gathering the energy & vibrations behind the thoughts of Belief. A belief is just a Habit of Thought that is continually Reinforced.!! This makes these types of beliefs “True” to the believer BECAUSE of their belief. If the belief is that certain actions or words produce a certain result & past evidence has shown this Cause & Effect to play out as in the mind of the believer, they will Believe it True & LoA will gather more of That energy to Them…perpetuating the belief.

However, just Choosing to be Happy or any other feeling is as simple as finding a thought of Anything that feels good to think; a past experience, a meal, a day with friends or a quiet day alone…Revel in the joy of the thought for the moment as long as it lasts.When it starts to fade, pick another or find things around you to Appreciate. The more this is done, the more LoA will “attract” More of the same (feeling, people, circumstances…) into your experience.

I have said for a very long time that Life is meant to be happy. Our natural state is one of happiness & joy as we come from LOVE & are LOVE before we chose to BeCome human Be-ings. The things most people think Keep us from being happy are made-up False-Premise beliefs that we are separated from Source & we have to crawl our way back to Worthy. When in truth, we ARE joy, happiness & LOVE before we are condemned by man as less than the extension of the Universe that we all (Living Be-ings) are 1st & foremost.!!-JMO
