How to be Happy in this Lifetime
When we ask
someone if he or she is happy - we rarely have a straight answer; most of the
times we will get: sometimes, I have days, I have moments, and we even have – I
don´t know, but we rarely have a straight and honest YES. How to be happy in
this lifetime is being written for the benefit of those who want to be truthful
to themselves, while dealing with all that´s going on, on their daily outside
world.
All of my
articles have been written with the help and knowledge of my Higher-self (I
call it my Library Upstairs), the 7 Archangels that are helping me in this
lifetime, as well as my Spirit Guides, and today, most especially, I was told
to let this be known, that no article has been written and put out randomly –
nothing is random. Awakening of a Blue Moon is infused with Love and Light Energy from
Source, and the intention put out is to help someone with each reading – to
receive and spread more love and light. Whether we are able to touch and help one
person, 100, 1.000 or more, is not my area of concern – my area is to give ,
while your area should be to receive and
spread the word if you so agree in participating – this is your choice. Now
that this has been conveyed let´s go to directly to the subject of today: How
to be Happy in this Lifetime
If you are
in a state of being instead of just
doing, it is easier for you to agree that being happy is a choice you should
make every morning when you wake up. Remember we`ve talked about being human
beings and not human doings?
If you are
still living in a state of doing, you will probably enjoy an article or an app with
numbered instructions and timings on how to be happy, but you will not find it
here.
Here we go
again! I keep repeating that we are all different.
Being different is great because it gives us more contrast. More contrast gives
us more experiences and we are living life on earth for the experience –
nothing else. No, we are not here to work and leave a legacy, or donate our DNA
to our offspring… we may do it, but that´s not the purpose of life. The purpose
in life is tailored to each one of our wants and needs that go back in ions in
our eternal existence.
The more
experiences we have the better we know what we like and what we dislike – the better
we know what to do and what to avoid in order to be happy and joyful.
What makes
me happy is sometimes so easy that others often say: - wow…you are content
with so little! This is someone´s opinion and I respect it, the same way I respect
someone who is never happy with whatever they have. These are the “haves” and
they must have more and more as they never have enough. I respect their path, but
I don´t agree with it so I walk the other way, I go on my way!
My personal
preferences in life that make me happy and joyful are mine; whether I am able to consolidate them with the
one’s that surround me, is a job that I manage the best way I know to accommodate
me, myself and I, without neglecting the ones I love. Only I know what is good for me. It took me
decades to arrive here and believe me I earned my degree and statute.
Many years
ago when I used to have Bible readings with a group of Teachers/Nuns and other
Moms, in my son´s Catholic School, one reading that touched me every time and
originated a lot of discussion was Matthew
6:26-34
Matthew 6:26-34 (New International Version)
26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not
sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add
a single hour to your life[a]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how
the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you
that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If
that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow
is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or
‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your
heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his
righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore
do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has
enough trouble of its own.
With the
thought of this Matthew 6:26-34 reading I continue to think and say that the abundance
and variety we live in today is sometimes absurd! Nevertheless, there are
people complaining they don´t have enough, and no I am not referring to the
poor and neglected. Mother Earth suffers the pains from so much consuming of
these humans. Remember the Climate change calamity (?!...) I think you get the
point!
If we want
to be happy in this lifetime we must be truthful to ourselves and start the
change within our small bubble to still make a difference.
- Meditate
on what makes you happy and joyful and do it.
- Look
around you and gather all the clutter that no longer serves you but it´s in
perfect condition to be used by someone else, and donate it to the closest
charity, or go to a shelter and give it in person, believe me this is joyous.
- Clean
your house, organize it and let some fresh air come in for a few minutes. Breathe
in that air.
- Organize
your life, your calendar, so you don´t stress for time.
- Prioritize
your time and don’t be afraid to say no.
- Get
some alone time with yourself, preferably in nature, your bare feet in the sand
or grass.
- Meditate
a few minutes in the morning before you get up, but if you are pressed for
time, meditate in the shower. Be thankful for what you have, say it, itemize it
and smile while saying it. Open up your arms and say: Yay, I am thankful for
everything I have and I am open to all the Universe wants to give me.
If you´d like you may even get into the habit
of every morning saying the following, that correspond to the (abbreviated) principles
of a Reikian way of life:
I am calm, I trust, I am grateful, I work honestly, I am kind.
Whoever you are, however you are, whatever you
like or dislike, if you get into the habit of being yourself and practicing a
few or all of the above, you will for sure be centered in your own energy and How to be Happy in this Lifetime will
not be something you are still searching for – as you will be in the habit of
being yourself, as being your own self – joyous and happy even in the most
boring and dull moments.
Much Love and Light
