Are You Living A Happy Life?

Wow - so this morning I roll over and look at the TV that I left on last night (I know, I know, bad habit)... well guess what's on? Joel Osteen. I always tape his Sunday sermons juuuuusssstttt in case I happen to sleep late. So anyway, I am feeling great because it's still at the very beginning and as always he is opening with a joke so off I go to brush my teeth and start the coffee maker. And of course, I settle back in just in time to hear one of the best messages I have heard all year.

See I always feel like his messages are just for me, they are basically what I always need to hear at that moment, even if I had no idea I needed to.

One of the reasons I started this blog is because people always think I am so happy and inspirational. Lol I am happy for the compliment but I don't always feel that way. I don't make this stuff up but I learn from others and believe that if I needed that message so does someone else so I like to pay it forward, so to speak.......


Ok so on to the lesson, TODAY he spoke about being happy and living your life with joy. So much of what he said resonated with me! So many of us (me included) think that we will be happy once all of our conditions are met! I hear it all the time...Oh when I get my new car, my house, my new job,make enough money, when so and so starts treating me right blah blah blah...... But we don't realize that we have everything we need to be happy right now. HE SAID THE MOST AMAZING WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RIGHT NOW"

He also said that you have everything you need to be happy, and once you find that self peace and happiness ... that is when you will see the advancement in your life that you wanted. Why would you be advanced if you can not appreciate what you already have? If you are not thankful for what you consider the least, how can you handle greater? Your Happiness is your choice! rejoice in who you are now and what you have NOW! TODAY!

All your desires will come to pass. You have them for a reason! HE put them there, but blocking your own joy and happiness leaves no room for him to work! You and you alone make that choice!

Make a conscious choice to Live A Happy Life!

Choose Happiness, Choose self acceptance, Choose joy, Choose you!

Be Blessed.... I am!
