Do What You Want To

posted in: Blog, channeling, happiness | 2

Humans have been searching for happiness forever. Yet, for many, it seems an impossible dream.

Spirit says happiness is our birthright. And, they say, it’s as simple as choosing to be happy. But is it really that simple?

John Kitchin M.D. thinks it is. He might just have the real secret to a long life of happiness and peace: Do what you want to.

Dr. John has created a short movie on the subject. It’s a bit longer than the videos we typically use in our weekly posts.Read more

Hard Work

I recently read an interview with a millennial worker. (The millennial generation were born in the last two decades of the 20th century.)

The worker talked about how she put all she had, all she was, into her work. In her words, “I am so obsessed  with reaching…success…that I’ve forgotten how to actually enjoy life.” (Emphasis added)

Her work had become her God.

In your modern world, particularly in Western society, you have replaced the real God with a false god.Read more

Darkness And Light

Some folks I know get depressed as our days grow darker in December with the approaching winter solstice. (In the northern hemisphere.) Ironically, this time of year is actually my favorite, which leads some to think there’s something wrong with me. 🙂

So why do so many suffer through this annual misery?Read more

I have a little sign on my desk, “Get happy!”

When some folks see it, they ask “How?”

The answer is “Happiness is a choice. So choose to be happy.”

Again, the response is “How?”

I know some folks will disagree with me. But, from my observations over the years, I’d say older folks are generally happier than younger ones.

And my own personal experience of growing older supports that idea.Read more

Well, perhaps beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We all probably know at least one someone who is blind to the beauty of our world. Someone who focuses on the ugliness, which is not hard to find (if that’s what they’re looking for) in people, places, politics, etc.

Spirit

But beauty also exists quite apart from how humans see the world.Read more

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. ~ Og Mandino
