Happiness Is A Choice

Dear Ones,

It takes practice to consistently keep a positive focus in the ever changing world. The authentic positivity I am talking about here doesn’t mean to be in denial, suppressing or ignoring your feelings or saying yes when your authentic answer is no. Because of our conditioning which usually didn’t teach us about the very real power of positive focus, there is a journey most of us need to usually go through first to fully understand and consequently choose positive focus. Nevertheless being authentically positive – even in the midst of all life’s dramas – is possible for all of us. But it requires our full commitment and understanding that happiness is a choice. A choice we make everyday.  

If you are reading this, chances are you already have your insights about who you truly are. Even if you had just a fleeting glimpse about your greater self perhaps in one of your meditations or maybe by now you are steeped in the deep knowing of your true eternal infinite nature. Either way you are blessed by being one of those who are awakening right now and therefore you CAN see the greater picture not just for yourself but also for humanity. 

And so perhaps you already had your insight that our physical existence is a very tangible dream from which one day – when we transition back to the non-physical – we all awaken from. This doesn’t mean that this life is not important or that it’s good to be completely detached and without love and compassion for all living beings. On the contrary, physical life is such a wonderful gift we’ve been given and we are meant to live it to the fullest. But having a greater perspective can give us immense inner stability in the midst of all changes. 

The conditioning gave most of us a program to think in terms of black and white, bad and good. And yes, the play of duality will constantly present us with both dark and light, wanted and unwanted and we can always choose what we prefer, and in fact this contrast helps us define and constantly redefine who we are, what our values are and what our life is about. But if we allow ourselves to see everything around us as neutral and learn to look for positive reasons and gifts in every situation we will soon experience the very real power of authentic positivity. 

This is essential for our happiness as you see this is a vibrational universe: Like attracts like and we can’t perceive what we are not the vibration of. In other words if you want to experience more joy in your life you have to be joyful yourself first. If you want to experience more love in your life you have to keep your heart open. If you want to have more abundance in your life you have to connect to the abundance within and feel it and embody it first. And if you want peace in the world you have to let go of inner conflicts and be at peace with yourself first: As within so without. The outer reality is a reflection of inner reality. And so my main reason for writing to you today is to remind you of this. Because with so much going on both in our personal lives and also in our world community 

it’s so easy to get distracted, to focus too much on the negative and in doing so drain our precious energy and consequently disconnect from the immense power we could use for manifesting our personal happiness and also happiness for all humanity. 

So if you feel inspired, dearest One, choose a positive thought today. And then another one and another one and let the magic unfold.

I look forward to meditating with you. 
Lots of love, 
Jana xx
