Being Happy Where You Are
I’ve noticed that it’s so easy to get caught up in thinking, ‘I’ll be happy when….” And, “If only this were to happen I would be happy.” My friends it’s just not true. Happiness only comes from being awake now. Being alive now. Being in the moment now. There may not even be a tomorrow! So let’s buck up and be happy right now, with whatever is going on.
Do you want to suck on a lemon or make lemonade?
It is too easy to be unhappy, and it comes from being in our heads. We can make up so much stuff in our head that it’s unreal. I was talking to a young woman today who had made a vision board. You may have done one yourself. You get a white board and a bunch of magazines and then cut out and paste everything that you want in your life. It gives you a vision of where you want to go. Then you put it somewhere as a reminder of what you want. It’s a creative visual.
She said, “I made the vision board and now I feel terrible.” I asked her why, “Because now I see everything that I don’t have.” She went on to say that she hated her job, had made bad decisions etc., etc.
We’ve all been there. Felt like we made the wrong decison, made a wrong turning and ended up someplace we didn’t want to be, with people we didn’t really feel close with. So I said to her, “You’ve made great decisions in your life…” And we named a few of them, like having two wonderful children, and working from home because that was the best thing to do at the time. “You are exactly where you are supposed to be right now.” I told her. “Look around you and be grateful for what you do have right now.”
Wherever you are right now, you are exactly where you are meant to be. And if you want to be in a different place, then be grateful for where you are, be happy where you are and keep your heart open for new things to come. Being grateful for where you are right now is a way of opening the door for new and wonderful things to happen.
If you are miserable, then you are opening the door for more misery. Life is very specific that way. The Law of Attraction isn’t about wanting things and having a vision board and hoping they will come true. It is about living your life the way you want to live it, now and in the future. You are creating your future now with the way that you are being in your life. So be great, be grateful and have an amazing life. Rock N Roll Jeff & Val
