Be
HAPPY.
We all
want it.
We're
always chasin' it, buyin' it or spendin' it.
So HOW
do we get it? I mean...how do we get the real
deal, not that overnight stuff?
I LOVE
HAPPY! Don't you? And golly, as I think about it,
I reckon that's what you and I have in common with
everyone else on this planet...we all want HAPPY!
And so our lives seem to be little more than a great
big HAPPY HUNT in motion.
"My
Happiness is over
there."
"Happiness
is something that I
do."
"I
gotta earn it!"
"Happiness
is in her or him or it."
Here's
my simple rules for happiness...
-
Happiness is only found HERE. Right now. Not
there. "There" doesn't exist and only
keeps me waiting and waiting. And "back
then" no longer exists and keeps me
living in another time zone.
- Happiness isn't found
in them or her
or him or it.
I thought it was...and then they went
away! I just knew that mine was going
to be found in having a family with a mate and
3.2 kids and a dog. Hmm...maybe I just had the
wrong dog!
Yikes!
It's a trap! An illusion! "Then's" and
"Over There's" never really get here and
"They's" change or die or go away...and
they take my happiness with them!
My believing
that then's and there's & they's hold my happiness
only keeps me living out disappointment after disappointment
until I either 
crack,
settle for less or run away and become a Monk in
the mountains!
HAPPY IS:
- Now;
- Free;
- Yours for the havin'.
The UpsideDown-ness of
it all is... "something" won't make you
happy (maybe in short spurts, but we want more,
right?). But...the absense of "something"
will leave on the table HAPPY!
"What! Is this
guy nutzo!"
Yep. Yep I am thank you
very much. And...I have some good news for you about
happiness.
