Happiness part two

Dear God/Goddess, ICan go explain more about happiness, and how we can be happy?

Dear Sweet Child, Like we said in the last passage, being OK with not having what you are wanting, will allow you to be happy now. Often, people are very surprised that when they finally get what they have always wanted, that aren’t happy for very long. They might have gotten a momentary feeling of happiness, but then off they go trying to get what they want next. They could spend they whole life, going from one brief moment of happiness to the next, with long periods of not being happy in between. This is not what most people or we would call true happiness.

So if you find yourself, waiting to be happy ‘when”, then you will be missing a lot of opportunities to be happy right now. But there are more ways to be happy, and that is to get a perspective with how you are living your life. Many times what one person’s reasons for being unhappy, would be another person’s reason to be happy, depending on what part of the world you are living in. That is where making lists of what you appreciate in your life, and focusing on that, often will help immensely in making you much aware of how many wonderful things are in your life. And like we have said before, the more you chose to be happy, no matter what is happening to you, the more things will come your way that you will be able to appreciate and enjoy.

More tomorrow.
