“Today I choose to be Happy” is a lousy quote in my vocabulary. I find it shallow and really has no meaning.
Happiness can not be obtain in one day because you say so. I believe whoever is saying this is fooling themselves and I will explain why.
What I know and believe is, we can be happy here and now. In order to do that we need to grasp this fact by seeing that happiness is a state of non illusions, of seeing things as they are, not as we are.
In order to be happy most of the time we need to have a “Self Awareness” which is a powerful principle that most people do not understand.
Also, in order to be happy most of the time we must need to familiarized with our daily emotion.
We must see our feelings as they actually are, not as we assume they are.
Keep in mind our imagination projects all sorts of false ideas about happiness (for example the one that comes through wealth or power).
That is not real happiness. That is excitement because that feeling sooner or later will disappear.
DO NOT TRY TO FEEL A FACT UNTIL IT IS PERSONALLY UNDERSTOOD.
An emotion based on reality is permanent as it never fluctuates with exterior changes.
I feel good not because the world is right, but my world is right because I feel good. Do not hesitate to challenge any negative feelings you discover within yourself.
That is a giant step toward their dismissal. Most people afraid to question their negative condition.
We must dare to ask anything and everything especially when we are doubting that the answer may be clashing to our present opinion.
This is gradually awakens our intuitive side which explains everything to us.
