You've got this... Regardless of what it is!

Nothing will ever make you happy, no matter how much you try, how much you seek, how much you achieve... not really, not truly, authentically, lasting happy.

However... You can... at any time, in any circumstance.
​

Nothing Can Make You Happy.
 
Wait, you say… when I am with my loved ones I’m happy, when I get my dream job I’m happy, when things go my way I’m happy, etc. Yes… there’s no denying this. However… what is the actual mechanism of this experienced happiness?
 
When you walk into your new home for the first time, maybe after months or years of dreaming about it, making it happen, you’re most likely overcome by happiness.
 
Is this joy coming from reaching your goal, having a new home, or is there an alternative way of understanding this?
 
In the process of making a dream come true, regardless of what that is – a new home, a life partner, your dream career, better health etc – the human mind has a sense of lack… “I do not have my new home yet, it’s not here and I want it”. This is a sense of lack, and a subtle resistance to what Is… “I’m not completely happy with my current circumstance, and I need to fix it”.
 
This resistance, whether subtle or pronounced, is a sort of energetic contraction, a “closing down”… we call the sensation of this closing down ‘suffering’. The experience of closing down our own energies is what makes us feel uncomfortable… not the external circumstance itself.
 
The same is true for happiness. It is what is happening within us, that determine how we fell – not the external circumstance.
 
As you walk into your new home, your mind relaxes and goes “Finally, I have my dream home, everything is perfect in this moment” and there’s a release of tension in your mind, an opening of energies.
 
When the energies that You are made up of, are allowed to flow freely, your inherent state of being is naturally present – joyful, at peace, clear, grateful, generous, empowered etc.
 
When you walk into your new home and feel an overflowing sense of joy, it is not the house that is making you happy. Your joy (or any emotion) is not coming from an outside source – ever! The happiness is arising within You, in this case as a response to an external event, and you’re able to perceive and experience this naturally present happiness, because your mind is open and relaxed enough.
 
So… the continuation of this exploration, will then be… If my joy is not actually coming from outside, but arising from within… do I really need external circumstances to experience joy – or any other emotional state?
 
If you are the source of your own happiness, as life goes your way… isn’t it then also possible to be the source of your own happiness, when it doesn’t? The answer is, of course, a sounding Yes… it is absolutely possible – and readily accessible to all 7+ billion of us, in this very moment.
 
By understanding that YOU are your own source of ANY emotional state, you can learn to navigate how you walk through life in a whole new way… where joy, peace and inspiration is present within you – even in the midst of external chaos… pandemics, political, religious, racial diversion etc.
 
The key ingredient to walking in the center of the hurricane is complete acceptance of What Is… releasing all resistance. Accepting what Is, is an internal matter, an energetic state of being, which frees us of so much suffering.
 
Accepting what IS, is not condoning everything as “right” or even acceptable. It’s simply an acknowledgment that this IS what is present in this moment – in my life, in my community, country or in the world. From my personal point of view I may not like what is present… but that fact is… what is IS… and it’s actually kind of silly to deny that fact.
 
It is also true that our inner resistance does NOTHING to bring on a change… it only creates a closing down within usand therefor a sense of lack and suffering.
 
Accepting what IS, is not the same as becoming passive or giving up on making a difference. It’s not the same as relinquishing your dreams for a “better” future.
 
Instead, accepting what IS, brings on a sense of opening, relief and arising of our natural state of joy and peace. From this clear open state of mind, we then have access to a much deeper/higher intelligence, an intelligence that is not coming from opposition and division, but oneness and the highest and best for everyone involved.
 
From this opened, elevated state of being, walking in the center of the hurricane, you can then navigate whatever is arising in your life and the world… without being “pulled” by it. When walking with joy and peace within, you bring Joy & Peace wherever you go… and that alone changes the world!
 
When you are taking action to bring on a better world from this elevated state of being, you do it empowered by the pure power and intelligence of Universe itself… and miracles become a regular occurrence.
 
It all begins with Accepting What Is, releasing all resistance; all need to fix any perceived wrong. Like Mahatma Gandhi so eloquently spoke of – in words and actions – “Be the change you want to see in the world” (regardless of if this is an actual quote or just a summary of what he stood for).
 

BE the Change… embody that which you want to see in the world within yourself First.

That way, you bring exactly that into the world energetically, you bring that into every encounter, it shines through every word you speak and every action you take.

ALL change starts within you and me… never out there, with “them”.

​Be THAT which you want to see in the world, and be it now.
