Peace & Happiness

All that you seek you already are.

Peace and happiness are not elusive external elements foraged, found, and favored by only a select few. On the contrary, the entire Universe is comprised of it, and we, created in its likeness by the almighty creator, are its recipients.

To “find peace and happiness,” you need only choose to see its inherent presence in all things, including yourself. They may each feel somehow elusive, foreign, or downright nonexistent until you choose to connect with their presence, their joy. Like a flat mate you didn’t know you had, they reside at the center of your being.

Easily called upon and ever ready to serve, both peace and happiness are always there, we need only call upon them. When they feel far away, bring your focus to your overall feelings, thoughts, choices, and behavior. These are the culprits most responsible for keeping them at bay.

A shift in one or all these elements paves the way for peace and happiness to appear and/or reappear. Grasp a glimmer of this truth, this knowing, and immediately build upon it.

Open your eyes to the wonder that is just outside your window or in the simplest moment, act, or passing or in the verdant splendor within your surroundings. Open your heart and fill it with gratitude…practice gratitude.

Open yourself to life again.

This is where love, peace, and happiness reside.

Finding your way back is one founded upon recognizing the conflict the ego-mind-personality creates in opposition to the soul. This division creates division, anxiety, anger, resentment, fear, loneliness, unhappiness, distrust. It colors perception which in turn obscures love, peace, and happiness.

Surrender fully your ego-mind-personality in service to your soul and watch as peace and happiness are delivered unto you. Every shadow is formed by the presence of light; thus, light is more powerful.

To gain ever greater quantities of light, choose to see its innate presence in every aspect of creation. It is ever-present and most importantly, it is not based on external achievements, belongings, or the like, but rather it is a state of choice, a state of being.

Even darkness bears witness to this truth as contained within it is the other and thus the impetus for us to reclaim that which we were created: love, light, peace, joy, and happiness.

Begin each day with firm intentions to be and experience peace and happiness, and surely it will be.
