Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Happiness
One more topic to discuss… Happiness….
Happiness, noun
2. Good fortune; pleasure; contentment; joy
The state of being happy….
How many can say when I wake up in the morning regardless of the day I had I am happy, and when I go to bed I close my
eyes I am in that state of happiness? Not many. And let me add that that
place of pure happiness in your mind and heart is a great place to be at…
Regardless of any issue that is going on around you, you are able to still be
in that mental state.
I always ask people are you
happy, like really happy and if you’re not why not. Because in all actuality if
you’re not happy you can change that. We all have that power to change and
become a better u. And that’s not saying go and change for someone else you
have to want that for you. You have to want to break that old thing and start
something new. We all are capable of finding pure happiness if we take the time
to understand ourselves. And when you do find it, there is nothing or no one that
will be able to take it from you.
I don’t know how many
people say I don’t know how to be happy… Smh… What they really are saying is
that I am content in where I am and I am going to settle for this state right
now because what reason do I have to change. And when you see that in a person
you usually see that in all in that social circle. Because the term birds of a
feather flock together is very much true… When you surround yourself around people
and situations that aren’t happy it gets harder to see that that is not a
healthy state to be at. It becomes normal for you…
Let me just say this, just
because those people you associate with might be family doesn’t mean it is
always the healthy… * I’ll wait*…
Let me say it one more
time, just because those people you associate with might be family doesn’t mean
it is always healthy…
Yes that is where things
can get a little shaky because everyone is raised in saying blood is thicker than
water. The way I look at it is you can’t pick your family so make sure you pick
your friends wisely. That is not saying you don’t love your family it’s just saying
you don’t have to deal with and surround yourself by the negative that might
come from some family members. Because one bad apple will ruin the bunch… It’s
natural… It only takes one person to say something negative that can either
bring the group into a negative mindset. And that is a continuous cycle until
you know for yourself that that is not what life is about…
There is nothing wrong with
walking away. Walking away is the first step to you becoming a better you and
finding that happiness that we all have in our hearts if you’re ready to have
that peace in your mind and heart…
So now my question is for
people, Are you happy within your life and if you’re not how are going to
change it?
Living Your Past in Your Present
I
want to touch on the subject of people living their past in their present for a second….
We all have moments in our life where we have been faced
with the fact of taking a stand and making a change or just throwing up your
hands and agreeing to circumstances. And when I say agree I mean making excuses
for another. In no way does making excuses benefit you in no such way. It holds
you back… It’s kind of like putting a leash around your neck and following your
owner…
When inside do you tell yourself you are tired and can’t
do it anymore? When do you put an end to the possessiveness of another whether
it physical or mental… The real question is what allows a person to become that
obedient person? At what stage in their life did the rode veer to the left and
was not able to make it back to the straight path?? Whether it is intentional
or non-intentional. When do we as individuals find understanding from the past
to have a better future?
We have to understand that when not dealing with those
stages in life and healing from it we are not able to move forward in a
positive mind… In no way can that be possible… I have listened too many and
found out they are scared to visit that past... To open that chapter of their
life and address it head on… if issues go unaddressed in your life how are you
able to move forward in a positive light… Your past will always have a hold
over your present and future. It will find its way to halt you in your steps of
mental progression if left unaddressed.
I have also come
to see that many believe they will be judged by their past. In no way can
anyone judge another that is a form of negativity… if there was less negativity
coming out of our mouths there would be less issues coming up… The term so many
use, ‘”think before you speak”, but not many do. Not many step out of the box
and think first before they react to someone else’s actions or words. Because 9
times out of 10 those words that you are speaking is the truth for your own
life your living. You live those negative words every day. So of course it
becomes easy for you to say it because it is second nature… hmmm… And yes that
is a horrible place to be at. Not being able to stop think and change your
negative mindset because you have been living it so long.
It takes less energy to be happy then to always have a
negative comment being directed at people. Look inside yourself and see what
really is causing you to think the way your thinking and make that change in
your life to become a better you…
