“When you decide to be happy, the creative process of Mind moves into instant action upon your decision…Do you actually believe you have a right to be happy?”

Raymond Charles Barker from The Power of Decision

I choose to be happy! I choose to be happy! I choose to be happy!

It is a choice! To be happy or unhappy! I know you are thinking…”yea, but what if a have a flat tire, a divorce, an illness, family death, no money.” We often justify our unhappiness and let ourselves off the hook for being upset, depressed or angry. And, majority of society would agree we do indeed have valid reasons for feeling these emotions.

But, do we really want to be upset, depressed or angry!?! And, then justify it by using outside circumstances as excuses to why we feel these emotions!?! I know I don’t. I want to be empowerd and I want to be able to live from the place where nothing in the outside world affects my inner peace and happiness!

And, honestly today hasn’t been a natural happy day for me. I just feel poopy and crabby! It is times like this that I need to keep affirming, “I choose to be happy. I am happy. I am so blessed. I am grateful My life is getting better and better.”. This is when my true spiritual growth and commitment is tested! I could say, “you know what screw it I am having a lousy day I have a headache I am just going to feel bad and then have a bad, crabby day end of story.”

That isn’t the end of the story. From the outside it might not look like the end of the world to have a bad day… But if we look deeper we can see that every moment of our lives is imprinted in our brain, in our consciousness. With every thought and emotion we are planting seeds. And, if we allow negative thoughts and emotions to consume us we are planting negative seeds. I do not want to grow any of those seeds, so why plant them? I want to grow only happy seeds!

It takes discipline, commitment, persistence and desire to do the work and to have a strong mind. But, I know that in the end the fruits that I am growing are going to be beautiful, amazing, powerful, and abundant! :)

Today I breathe, I relax and hold the intention of pure bliss, and joy!! I have a right to be happy!! And I choose happiness now! :)

I feel better already, how about you?
