What does freedom mean to you?
If you feel healthy and your mind is happy and peaceful, with the emphasis on the happy, what more could you possibly want?
You may be thinking ‘enough money to pay my bills’ or ‘everyone I love to be the same and they’re not’, that includes pets of course. If you are thinking that or a hundred similar things you would be right.
Obviously I’m not happy if someone or a pet I love is in trouble, I’ve just had a three month nightmare with our dear little cat (daughter) and we lost. However, even to the last hour of her life there were things that made me deeply happy, not the least of which was that in that moment she was here.
I was devastated for her, we tried so hard to save her, but I also knew what I had in that moment and I milked it for everything I could get, and absorbed her through my skin.
It was a difference created by my life training that actually took the edge off what was happening just a little bit. I suffered for her but knew to just take every precious moment I had with her and store it. I’m hurting like hell, but that did make a difference.
She’s Cat Angel number 9, plus childhood pets. So I felt that difference.
Any happiness you can find does help.
Life can be very hard, but every little bit of happiness you can find should be focused on forcefully, the memories stored for the rainy days, and make sure you feel every ounce of the gratitude for that moment.
In an odd way, or not so odd if you follow this thinking, or not odd at all if you follow the latest discoveries in science and the mind body connection, happiness is key to everything.
It’s also like anything else in life, the more you practice it the more opportunities you see, the more happiness you create, and it becomes a habit. An automatic programme.
It changes how you look at the world; what you will tolerate; the decisions you make. It gives you an awareness of what will and won’t make you happy.
I stayed with my ex for 17 years, if I’d followed this thinking he’d have been gone in week 6.
Happiness is freedom from so much faulty modern thinking.
To as much happiness as we can create in life.
