HAPPYNESS

IT COMES FROM WITHIN

After "LISTENING" this past year, were you amazed at what you heard or didn't hear? Did it make you HAPPY? Where do you find HAPPYNESS? What makes you truly HAPPY? Abraham Lincoln said "Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." A very interesting statement.

Our natural state of being is to be happy. I read that "Happiness is born from the internal workings of our own minds." How you judge a situation determines whether you will be happy or unhappy. Happyness is a belief about yourself and the outside world.

There are so many things in life that can make you happy. Some people see happyness as excitement, passion, fulfillment, feeling alive with inspiration and joy. Others find it in peace, contentment, being hopeful and satisfied. I have, up until recently found happyness in the excitement and passion of living a life surrounded by inspiration and joy. As I began a new decade in my life I have found times of peace and contentment bring me the most happyness. That is not to say that I still don't like the excitement of my life. I have just learned to treasure those times of peace that at one time in my life left me restless and yearning for something more.

Take a smile for instance. Have you ever experienced the happyness that a smile can bring? Whether it is initiated by you or a response to someone smiling at you when it is genuine – crinkly eyes an all – it has the power to attract people to you, give you a more positive feeling about yourself and the world, boost the happyness that you feel, make other people happy to be around you and it is a great health booster by increasing your internal state of mind.

This year, I invite you to cultivate your inner happyness. Live in the HEART. SMILE more. Take a more childlike view of life. Don't let your critical mind get in the way of any situation. Do more of what ignites your soul and less of what dims your spirit. Throughout the year I will share with you inspiring quotes and stories to help you cultivate your inner happyness with the help of Sharon Chumash and her website TheColorOfHappiness.com.

Wishing you a year filled with finding the joy in EVERYTHING, SAVORING the joy of simple pleasures, making the time to REFLECT on that joy, and expressing your GRATITUDE for that joy – all things that will help cultivate your inner happyness!
