Happiness Is
Here And Now!
 Me and my buddies... Happyness is Here and Now!
Goodbye 2008. Hello 2009.
One thing is constant in Life – we constantly face 2 things every day of our life, almost every moment o it too. Changes and Challenges.
Of the many skills in creative living, learning to deal with change is one of the most important if we were to enjoy a life of Peace and Happiness.
Hundreds of books have been written about managing change, but few truly teach us how to deal with change in a simple way. There is no simpler way than this proven 3-step approach.
Step 1. Closure.
We need to put an end to the old before we may begin with the new – we need to make a clean break from what has ended. It’s a time of detachment and disconnection. Learn to let go before moving on.
Closure is about detaching from the past which has ended, leaving behind old baggage. If we fail to detach, we will have great difficulty beginning a new journey because of the excess baggage and the weight of this burden. Step 2. Neutralize.
We need to keep an open mind, and take on a fresh perspective in embracing the new. Learn to unlearn, and relearn. A time of reckoning with the transition from the old to the new. Its preparing for a new journey, getting ready to move on.
Neutralizing is about establishing a fresh new perspective where we create the capacity to begin anew. This is the “neutral zone” where we clear our mind of the past, and create a gap between what has ended and what is about to begin. We need this space to plant a new footing so that we can begin again happily, freely, and peacefully. Step 3. Renewal.
Welcome the new beginning, make a clean start, and stay focused on the new course. If we’re gonna sail to a new destination, who cares which ports we’ve visited in the past. Make the next steps count as we move forward, don’t worry about the footsteps we left behind. Renewal is the new journey to a new destination, the chance to begin again more intelligently. Many things happened in my personal life in 2008, some were heart wrenching and some painfully real. But I have learned to put closure on that which has passed. I carry no excess baggage into 2009. Left them all behind.
“The moving finger writes; and having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.”
(Omar al-Khayyami, 1048 - 1131)
Nothing in the world can change that which has already transpired.
Learn to let go and move on. Closure. Leave your excess baggage behind if you want to begin a new journey.
Learn to unlearn, and relearn. Neutralize. Re-establish your footing, create the capacity to receive new blessings, and you will find out soon enough there's plenty coming your way.
The best way to neutralize the past is to be thankful we are blessed with a chance to live another day, and be inspired to make it a good day. Gratitude and Inspiration. It's that simple. It's not always easy, but it is really that simple.
“Let us rise up and be thankful,
for if we didn't learn a lot today,
at least we learned a little,
and if we didn't learn a little,
at least we didn't get sick,
and if we got sick,
at least we didn't die;
so, let us all be thankful.”
(Buddha)
An attitude of gratitude never fails to inspire great moments in creative living. Having an attitude of gratitude is creating the capacity to receive more of new blessings in life.
Make a fresh start, a new journey, and a new discovery.
“Your work is to discover your world
and then with all your heart
to give yourself to it.”
(Buddha)
Learn to live in the moment. Renewal. Live this moment wisely and ernestly.
All the causes and conditions, all the reasons and rationale, and all the rights and wrongs in the world that came together to bring me to this moment in my life no longer matter. It’s this moment now, and here, which is what truly matters.
Happiness Is Here And Now!
“The secret of health for both mind and body
is not to mourn for the past,
worry about the future, or anticipate troubles,
but to live in the present moment
wisely and earnestly.”
(Buddha)
2009 will be a great year. I intend to live it wisely and earnestly. This is neither a wish nor a plan. Not even a promise. This is a knowing.
A knowing is different from a wish or a plan or a promise. There is no certainty in wishes or plans or promises. There is, in knowing.
What I Deserve, I Endure;
What I Endure, I Become;
What I Become, I Am;
I Am Within.
This is knowing.
Live in the moment of the knowing.
Dream with no limit
Discover with no past
Dare with no fear
Decide with no regret
Do with no boundaries
Deserve with no doubt
Destiny with no end
 Happyness Is Here And Now!
