Trying to Be Happy

Today’s Vibe 3/20

Greetings All,
My appreciation for your continued interest in my perspective of LoA. As before, the content in today’s commentary is a response to the Daily Quote & Author’s input regarding the Quotes of the wise, enlightened or philosophical from the past. These “quotes” are, for the most part; the Adages & Idioms that have helped form Societal Thinking of right & wrong.
The axioms quoted are from a Different time, with ideas that meant something different then but yet Mankind ‘s consciousness has yet to advance with the technology or the Times.

My opinions are of how LoA would offer a more agreeable viewpoint to the Everyday circumstances we all experience. Remember, this is (JMO)Just My Opinion. I welcome comments or questions equally, from those wanting new & different answers to the Questions of Life Paths.(I’m open to Personal , Private consultations..) Keep an Open Mind & an Interested Outlook with the Appreciation of knowing there IS a reason to BE.-JMO

Today’s Thought: “If only we’d stop trying to be Happy, we’d have a pretty good time.”- Edith Wharton

Author’s Take: Yes, we can throw parties, take long vacations & eat at expensive restaurants; thinking that will Make us happy. The joy is short-lived when cleaning up after or when the credit card statements arrive. Then it doesn’t seem like such a good idea.
We could have a good time if we learn to find happiness from moment to moment.

Ending Thought: “I don’t need something outside of myself to make me happy. Happiness is a choice I can make under almost any circumstances.”
—————————————————————
Trying to be happy is like trying to sit down. You either do or you don’t. You can have a pretty good time doing it though.!!

The material things in Life we think bring us happiness are recognized for the hollow imitation of Be-ing centered, that they are. Each moment is an opportunity to find happiness.

If we’d learn to “find the happiness” in the moment, we’d realize that happiness doesn’t come from outside ourselves but from the choice to be Happy.
—————————————————————
The author seems to have captured the Spirit of today’s quote. The Law of Attraction is a straight-forward, simple Rule. Like gravity, it never varies in its function. There’s just one, equal & indiscriminate. There is no TRY in the Universe. (Yoda was right.!!)
Whether it’s Happiness or Fear, Love or Anger, it is an Emotion we can Control by simply choosing(willing) to.!! When asked, most respond they want to be happy but they have no real concept of what it means to BE Happy. The overall conclusion most feel is that “things” bring happines. That’s why there’s so many looking to “Manifest” their perfect life…
We all say, “If I had …(insert any material desire), I’d be happy.” Most find out that once the IT is “had”, the happiness is Short-lived & a NEW “happy” needs to be found. So we buy something else…

As in the Ending Thought, no Outside manifestation will “make” you Happy.!! Not, Money (although it helps but rich people are unhappy too), Food, Houses, Cars or (especially)relationships. The only reason anyone wants anything is because they “believe” they will FEEL better in the Having of IT.!!
Think of a time when you Knew you were getting something you’ve wanted a long time on a certain day. In getting that Information you experienced an excitement & Anticipation of “GETTING” …it that you didn’t have before. As the Day approaches, the excitement becomes stronger, more intense. Finally. The day arrives, you receive the long awaited desire. You feel great.!! Your Friends & family are there, they’re all excited for you, congratulating you, etc. when the excitement dies down, the observation of What-Is starts to come through the fog & the pleasure factor of the Receiving diminishes; until one day, IT is commonplace & ordinary. A new happiness is needed to replace it.

This is “Conditional Living” in an UnConditional Universe. This Vibrational, Attraction based Universe is “managed” by the LoA like Gravity “manages” everything, including keeping the Atmosphere from drifting off into space. (this too is managed by LoA)
The consciousness of the Universe, the Energy that created worlds, the vibration of Pure LOVE is what I(we) call Source Energy, Broader Perspective, Infinite Intelligence; some say higher power, god or lord and many even say Jesus. Regardless of the religion, cult, sect of Belief, there is only One…(label of your choice). And regardless of the Belief structure, LoA still exists & gathers the vibrations of the thoughts & emotions we offer. A “Belief” is a Habit of Thought that is continually Reinforced.!! It’s a thought you keep thinking that LoA gathers the momentum of the vibrations streaming from you. Bringing you to the expression of your belief & you say, “See, my belief is true.”, not Understanding that LoA is why it’s True, (only)For You.!!

We all have times of sadness or pain, discomfort or stress…but when you remember that you attracted That into your experience too, it’s much simpler to go from the Negative emotion that your thoughts of the current What-Is, is causing you to feel; to the better Feeling thoughts of Joy, Happiness & Satisfaction.!! We are an extension of Source, like a stream off a major river. Always connected, receiving the “flow” of the Eternal Well-Being. This extension is our Inner-Being(I-B) & is the greater part of our perspective. WE are Non-Physical energy, having a Physically focused experience in this Time/Space reality. The I-B guides us to the Happiness we want, whether it’s of a material, physical, emotional or vibrational nature by our Emotions.

When we find thoughts that produce positive emotions, we FEEL the happiness we’re looking for in all the wrong places.-JMO

I’m happy NOW.!!
Happy Creating!!
