Are you Happy ???

We wish everyone to be Happy on Birthdays, festivals, new year and so on.

Have you ever wondered why is it that so many people just aren't happy? Doesn't it seem strange that so many of us are putting off being happy until something happens ?

We listen to people talk and say things like; wow, when I get that new job, car, home, lover, more money and clothes, I will be so happy. I am asking what's wrong with being happy right now in this moment ?

Why is it that most of us just can't seem to feel joy without something happening ? It is like we are addicted to happenings and have forsaken joy for joy's sake. We watch little babies and toddlers, aren't we amazed at how joyful they are. For the most part they are in an almost constant state of joy. They smile without reason, and giggle with delight over the light fixture hanging overhead.

Babies remind us of a basic wisdom, joy just in being. Some people say; what do I have to be happy about ? After that question they go on to communicate a long list of what is wrong in their lives.

The key difference between those who are joyful and those who are not, depends on what are you focused on in your life ? Do you fill your day with gratitude for all that you already have rather than moaning over what you don't ? Do you go about aches and pain, bills, relationships or lack thereof ?

Knowing that the law of attraction works to attract more of what we are focused on, it  only makes sense that we practice being happy. This is a simple process of shifting gears and changing thoughts. Line your thoughts and statements with what do you want. Spend a few moments throughout the day with thought shifter statements.

A few of the thought shifter statements we can use are - I am so happy and joyful to be alive. I am so happy and grateful for this wonderful mind and body that allows to enjoy touch, taste, sound and movements. I am so happy and grateful for my family and friends and the love we share. I am so happy and grateful for my computer, my internet, my ability to type and share with friends all over the world. I am so happy and grateful for love, prosperity, abundance, joy, laughter, giggles and all the smiles shared with others. Taking time and attention to be in now, this present moment and saying thank you for all these little things open us up to bigger blessings.

The idea is, don't put off being happy, go ahead, be happy right now. It's a new day, new week, new year and of course a new Sunday. Fill yourself up with joy. Take time each day to focus on all the beauty in your life and you will find yourself surrounded by more and more beauty. The act of gratitude opens floodgate to blessings and joy.

I am so HAPPY and Grateful for you reading this, :-)
