Know Yourself as Happiness

You may love solitude because, with just you and Me, you have a break. With Me, you don’t have to talk. When you and I talk together, you know what you mean to say and become clearer. We just are. We speak in Oneness. You may love just to be, just to be One with Me, which is to say, One with your Self. It is simplicity itself, Our being together and out of the parade that passes by that you don’t always want to march in. With Me, you are in My Light, yet you are, so to speak, away from the betting tables.

There are some of My children who love the stimulus of the world, and they love to roam in it. They drink in every flavor of life in the world, and they excel in it all. They may be riotous in it. And, of course, there are many betwixts and betweens.

I say to enjoy all directions. Enjoy being quiet when you love quiet. Enjoy being the life of the party when you enjoy being the life of the party. You know what? Simply enjoy, and don’t bother yourself with self-itemization. Just be what you are at the moment you are. Let go of before and after. Enjoy the moments with Me, and enter into all the other moments when you think of Me and when you don’t, and enjoy them as well. Enjoy the plateaus and enjoy the wild rides. Enjoy whatever you enjoy, and be glad.

Enjoy being good to one another. Everyone knows what this means. Hearten one another with the life of your spirit. Be happy, and the world is a happy place.

There is no need to search for happiness, for happiness is here, right here, right now. It is said that happiness is where you find it. Beloveds, happiness is where you are. Be happy where you are. Happiness is called for. Be good at it. And, yet, happiness is not something you do.

Often, when you think about happiness, happiness gets lost. With effort, happiness loses its place in the Universe and doesn’t find itself. Happiness does not have to be pursued. Happiness links itself with Being without examination of your state of happiness.

There can be a focus you seek that when you find it evokes Eureka! There is more to happiness than something eventful and new, yet every moment of happiness is new, for happiness itself is ever new.

The more you insist on happiness may be the more that happiness escapes you. Happiness just doesn’t want to be the star of the show. Happiness just wants to be present and not stared at. Happiness just doesn’t require medals pinned on it. When happiness is self-conscious, it is uncomfortable, as if happiness were a commodity. Happiness is more of a quality of Being left alone to find its own way. Happiness can be elusive when it is chased.

Happiness isn’t an action. It is a State of Being. You might bite into a juicy apple and call that happiness. Appreciation accompanies happiness. Come to think of it, appreciation is good at happiness. Gladness is happiness. Happiness doesn’t have to be a great moment in your life. It doesn’t have to be a milestone. Happiness comes along in life, in being alive, in appreciation of your partaking in life, yes, this life on Earth.

Happiness is not meant to be separate from life. It goes hand in hand with life. Happiness, small or large, is a flavor you endow to life as you live it. Fast or slow, happiness is something you bestow upon life. It is you yourself who ennoble your life with happiness. You bestow happiness. Bestow it generously. Happiness will follow you. Welcome it. May happiness be your silent partner and go everywhere with you, something like your name. Know your very self as Happiness.
