Daily Inspiration: October 27. Experiencing More Happiness in Your Everyday Life

God is Love, and happiness is one of Love’s many expressions. Happiness becomes our companion when we recognize that, having co-created our journey with Love, all of it is sacred. Each moment is here to help us awaken to who we truly are. Today, let us let go of a false narrative that says that there are things, events and people that are not part of this sacred process. Today, when we are not in the state of joy, let us not put ourself or others down for this. Instead, let us use these moments to practice increasing our trust in God and in the journey we have co-designed with the Divine. Today, let us trust that, because God is Love and All, everything is here to assist us in moving in the direction of our happiness. Indeed, all things, events and people, when properly perceived, are here to help move us in the direction of our joy. Even those ‘things’ that the ego has programmed us to judge about ourselves and others are showing us which direction our happiness is not. This is actually helpful, for the more roads we get to cross off the ego’s map the clearer our destination to the state of joy becomes. When we understand this, gratitude not judgment, becomes our response to being able to cross those roads off our maps. Keep your head up, do not despair for little by little you are awakening to the blessing that each and every moment has to offer.

Think about how many times in our lives we experienced so-called ‘difficult’ times, yet through the gift of time we were able to reinterpret their usefulness. We were able to see the gifts, life lessons and wisdom, that they brought us. Now, we can see how the past helped us develop into more compassionate and wiser beings.  Understanding this, is it not possible that all of our difficult and dark times, when properly perceived, are just gifts that we have yet to uncover?

How many times have we cursed life and those in it with our judgment, frustration, anger, resentment, hate and thoughts of revenge? If we understood how each moment is here to help us move closer to a joyful state would we ever choose such energies, emotions and expressions? Imagine if all that separated us from a joyful life was a shift in our understanding of why certain experiences come into our life. If God is Love and All, couldn’t every experience be, in some way, shape or form, an expression of God’s love for us? Today, no matter how much judgment and confusion the ego demands, let us rejoice. We rejoice knowing that all we need to do to reach a peaceful and joyful state is to change our minds about the purpose of what we are experiencing. Let us rejoice because it is we who can reinterpret our experience and thus undo what we have done. It was simply our misperceptions that brought about our pain, suffering and confusion. Now, it will be our understanding and trust, that will bring about peace, clarity and joy. What a relief it will be when you start to realize it is not the outside world that is fueling your despair. In fact, the outer world cannot do anything to fuel or end your despair. It is only you who has control over the thoughts you think and thus over your experience. It is you who is in control of your thoughts and thus of your experience. When you understand this you will begin to take greater personal responsibility for your joy. Do you not desire your children be joyous? Do you not think that God is, at the very least, as kind and generous as you?  Each day practice developing a greater trust in the Divine plan. This sacred plan will take you from darkness to light, from a place of sadness and pain, to a place of joy and peace.

Imagine being able to share with others how to go from darkness to light, from a place of sadness and pain to a place of joy and peace. Would that not bring you a great sense of satisfaction and happiness? Today, let us recall every experience we are presented with, because God is Love and All, will be use for our good, for our growth, healing and awakening. Let us recall that all things when properly perceived are moving us in joy’s direction.

What makes us unhappy is never our experience but our interpretation of our experience. Because the misinterpretation resides within it is within where the shift and healing must take place. Today, let us practice seeing the useful nature of each moment. Let us practice not darkening the moment with our misperceptions. Instead let us reverse the ego’s programming and fuel those same moments with our understanding, peace, trust and gratitude. By being grateful for all those things that currently do not make us happy we reduce their illusionary power and control over us.  Now we see each challenging moments as helping us avoid getting lost in the ego’s mindset. Each of these moments is reminding us to around and move in the joy’s direction. Let us today allow ourselves the opportunity to look at our past and note what the ego programmed us to see as useless, bad, sad, negative and depressing. Now, with the gift of time let us realize how much knowledge, wisdom, life experience and lessons, we received from such experiences. Let this understanding build your trust in God and in your sacred journey. Then become an example to others of this truth. Now they too can begin to see past the ego’s fog and encounter their God-given right to be happy.

Today, if you find yourself feeling down, do not despair. Instead remember the life lessons and wisdom you have accumulated due to your dark or difficult times. Were they not actually blessings in disguise? Today, recall that having co-designed your journey with the Divine, all steps along your journey are here to unite you with Love and to share this Love with others. Today, drop the ego’s false narrative, the one that has made you feel bad, down, sad, negative, angry and resentful. What do you have to lose by trusting that God truly loves you? How much more time do you need to sacrifice when you know that every moment is here as a gift from the Divine to you? What more could sadden you when you remember that all Love desires for you is your peace and joy?
