it truly is all about you

I swear, I'm not trying to be preachy.....
read at the risk of happiness......

Here's you.
You (and all other people) are living in a moment called NOW. And NOW. And NOW. (You get the picture.) So this is directly related to the absence of time as an actual reality (it's just a 'rule' we follow on earth.) From your standpoint, you can look out at any given possibility (path) for your life. Directions for your life to take are ALL within your grasp, it's just a matter of tuning into them. Like the TV- Roseanne, MASH, and 90210 are all on at 12:00, say, and you can pick which one to watch. (However-- That's not to say you can't have them all at once. That's a different example than the TV, though, and i'm not even going to explain...i talk too much as it is!!)
It's as if, say, working as a nurse in Zimbabwe is a channel, and having 50 kids is a channel, and being a crazy cat lady is a channel, and your life as it is now is a channel, but add like a million more channels, anything you can imagine is something you could have (did you get that?)...
And so your life right now is the channel you perceive, but if you are quiet for a moment, you may sense others that are just a flick of the switch away...
...meaning some channels are easier to pick up than others, if your life right now is channel 12, then channel 13 might be another path that you could more easily feel the vibration from than, for example, channel 108. (Although, like i said, they could all be perceived.)

So. The main thing is: for the channel you wish to be watching to come through, you need to clear the "air", so to speak, to get good "reception". What gets in the majority of people's way here is the mental, yet very real debris cluttering the path. People are used to waiting for the world to make them happy. "What did I do to deserve this?" we say. "I'm miserable because life hands me crap. If I just had ______, I could finally be happy." And then we go on acting pouty and miserable, waiting for goodness to happen, and when it does happen, we cling to it as if happiness would dissolve without it, which it ends up doing, and so goes this loser lap....There's too much going on. You can't pick up other channels, much less watch Roseanne, when the TV blows up. And it will. (Midlife crisis? Heart attack? Life threatening illness? Etc...)

Here's another thing: Everything around you (your physical surroundings) is reflecting your inside world. You either get that, or you don't. Consider it.
And, what you focus on expands. (Think about a timbit, you'll get a donut...or even a cake!)

NOW:
If you start allowing yourself to accept happiness as a whole being, you are allowing whichever "channel" you desire to appear.
Here's the little problem: We find it difficult to feel happiness inside before the outside is willing to show "happy" things to us. The trouble with that, is that you need to access your whole true happy self before your surroundings can reflect that. But, if you focus on wanting to be happy, you will get more focussing on wanting to be happy, not actually being happy. If you start to allow happiness to appear withIN you, magic will happen. We find it too easy or comfortable to wait for the world's affirmations of our happiness.
Without even knowing it we "need" (and not really need, but that's how we think we feel) other things and people and events to fill us with worth, love, and a reason to be happy, when the whole freakin' time, all we have to do is allow ourselves to feel the natural state of happiness from within, and all the things we wanted to happen, DO....we just don't NEED them anymore! but we sure will enjoy them, and a lot more now!!
It's simple, it's just so damn hard at the same time! Access your personal stash of happiness. It sounds SO freakin' hokey and will feel that way too, but no matter how stupid or impossible or hopeless it feels, give it an honest shot....ask your higher self to help you find your true inner wealth of happy energy anytime you are finding it hard to do it, you will be surprised, i PROMISE!!
Literally, say to yourself, when you are hanging by your last thread: "True self, help me find the feeling of being happy just for the sake of being happy..."
Get excited about your life, it's kinda like distracting yourself, but not really... If you feel whole and loving inside, you attract what you want....if you feel like you need something in order to be whole, you will just push it away.

And ONE MORE IMPORTANT PART: DON'T DWELL ON OUTCOMES. Don't even let yourself consider dwelling! It's about trusting the process. Don't pull at the shoots two days after planting them. You know that stupid saying? I probably said it wrong. But you know what I mean. Seriously, throw those thoughts right out. Don't Allow Yourself To Think "Oh God, This Isn't Gonna/Will It/What If It Doesn't/How Is It Gonna Work". Because it WILL as long as you trust that it will. Just allow yourself to be happy at any given time. It will be worked out!

I know! Half this shit sounds ridiculous. I don't say I'm the neo-hippie high priestess of metaphysical crap for nothin'. 'Love, peace, and harmony, man...' ( I don't even smoke dope!) Seriously, though.
DO IT ANYWAYS. Even though I sound crazy. Whatcha got to lose?
