On Happiness

For the past several months I have been waking up to a complete positive but reflective feeling. I still stumble to the bathroom in the morning..but before that, there is an awakening within an awakening, even for a moment! My cat scratching at the door, quickly brings me back to my morning routine. He is cute though.. again another warm and fuzzy feeling! I think, my point here is that even the small things feel good if you allow them to.
Yes, we have debts, demands and disease in life. Still, spiritually we have inner springs that have power to lift us out of the saddness or struggles. We all know it, even the most seemingly lost person can make it 'back' to the core of happiness. Maybe not the core, but within the realm of happiness. You turn on the Television and you see all this violence or words about a bad economy, yet steadily we have successful people who are and will be less effected by this bad economy. You have violent people- but we have far more good people fighting for what is just. Successful people do not dwell on what is wrong in the world or down the street, they work toward action to help downplay the pains. Work toward actions in a positive way, works. I do it daily. I started applying it as soon as I realized I could. I insisted that I would not allow myself to dwell in pity, anger or mistrust. Not that I stood for that ever. I kind of put myself through a self test. Testing the theory of the secret. I committed to testing the power of positive thinking using self talk as an example. After several months, I can say- positive thinking and prayer power work. It made me wonder, that if in the bible. When you read all the tho shall not do..commandments, it was more about setting a mindset of the people.
Was it? I began to examine more back then, like when you see the see no hear no do no evil images- Did they too mean to influence a mindset? Of course the cute monkey helped make us laugh. The secret got people to talk openly about the possibilties of being positive by though first, action secondly and follow through being the ultimate key. Today, I find that life glides smoother for me if I do not resist its peaks and valleys. That doesn;t mean that I sit idlely by and coast through life either, I just let more roll by. Life is more to me now more than ever, than a contest of will, or strength or bravado. I realize the ego controls me and most everyone else. That will always be. Yet... I never cease to forget to use my heart with work and personal life. Each morning a clean slate.
