If you knew…

...how harmful something was for you out, would you stop? 

How toxic that person is, would you leave?

How your actions are hurting someone, would you change?

How negative your thinking is, would you be more positive? 

How inauthentically you are displaying yourself, would you want to be more authentic?

How your comfort brings you pain, would you choose discomfort?

How much potential you really have, would you reach for more?

How your life was going to pan out, would you live differently? 

How amazing you are, would you own it?

How free you are, would you act like it?

Would you?

SM🌹

And one day...

 ...it will click.

It will feel perfect, comfort will embrace you;

but not a worry comfort, a peaceful comfort.

And one day it will make sense, the lows will disappear and make sense.

Your whys will be answered by 'This' day.

You'll understand like you have never ever before.

And one day you will be everything you want.

You will smell your favourite fragrance and it will fill your body with pleasure.

Nothing will seem out of reach.

And today could be that one day.

Be ready. 

Don't resist like you did that other day. Embrace yourself...

...today, now, right now,

and in this very moment; so that one day will feel normal.

So that one day can be felt today.

Congratulations! 🙌

Are you lonely or alone?

I'm angry, I'm upset, I'm frustrated. 

I'm at peace, I'm happy, I'm fulfilled.

I feel discouraged by what I see.

I feel encouraged through what I see.

I just want to be left alone and cry.

I just want to be with myself and breathe.

My heart is heavy.

My heart is full.

I want to be happier.

I am happy.

I am lonely.

I am alone.

What's the point of life?

What's the point of life?

How does it feel?

One cannot claim to have unshakeable faith and be realistic at the same time. Choose faith, it is an unrealistic path to others, yet so real to you... Follow the happy feeling and you'll create your own reality.
- Quote by Simone Momplé


What is the point of your life? 
For me, the point is to have fun, to enjoy our lives, to relax and feel the ease of life...to be happy all round.

I've experienced how people on social media and in public are so focussed on 'acquiring' that they forget the feeling.  Grinding is great and I support all those who are working to achieve their success...but don't forget the feeling!  When you reach each goal, don't forget to feel the happiness and simply experience the joy of it. 

Feel your way through life, don't think your way through it.  A statement I am learning to apply daily in my life.  When you get an invite to go somewhere and something doesn't feel fun or good about it, don't go.  If someone recommends a movie for you to watch and you feel you don't want to watch it, don't.  When you are part of a meeting and something doesn't feel right with the plans being presented, leave.  Life is that simple.  Feel your way through your life.

Once you start thinking your way through, you begin to analyse, you overthink, you apply strategies that have failed other with people - to your life and you second and third guess yourself and your intentions! Stop!  Don't beat yourself up about anything, EVER!  You live in a world where you get to choose daily, you get to decide what you like and what you don't. Everyday you have contrasting experiences that help you to realise this, so don't worry.  I believe that nothing bad ever happens to me, only situations which make me aware of a change I need to make or a alternative path I should take.  This excites me!  When I hit a wall, I laugh, and search for the easiest path out...focusing on the feeling.

Goal setting is great, but remember that you can feel the feeling before you achieve the goal.  Imagine we made 'the feeling' the goal...and the actual goal simply occurs.  You get to feel your way to success, feel your way to manifestation.  Most of us wait for the manifestation of that car we really want and delay our happiness until then.  Feel happy now and when you get that car, you get to truly enjoy the physical experience of it.  Because, if you rely on the conditions in your life to bring you happiness, your feelings will fluctuate like the petrol price. 
  Allow yourself to create the feeling...this brings such a great change to your life.  People will want to know what has got you so happy and excited about life, and you can tell them that you chose the feeling above the condition, that you desire to feel greatness before any manifestation you desire. 

Everything you ever want already exists...you simply have to ready yourself to receive it and you cannot receive it if you are not in a good feeling place.

So, how are you feeling?

Reality (Part 2): Is your happiness real?

Happiness is incomplete without you.

Is your happiness real?

What makes you happy?
Is it your job? Your partner? Your friends/family? A hobby?
What makes you truly happy?
I am sure you have been asked this question before. Did you notice the follow up questions all relate to your external reality, therefore I am leading your thinking in a certain direction? Was that purposeful? Maybe...maybe not. It would be great to know what your answers were though.  In Reality Part 1 I addressed what you considered to be your reality, and so you would probably answer these questions based on your perception of reality...External manifestations or an internal feeling (such as happiness linked to purpose).

What determines whether you are happy or not?
Let's begin by addressing what happiness is to you. I have experienced people who place their happiness in a person, an object or an activity. The tricky part with doing that is when that person/object/activity is not in your physical, immediate existence, they are unhappy. And then what? Sometimes we place our happiness in obtaining something:
 "Once I achieve this goal, then I'll be happy."
If this is how your ‘reality’ works, then please tell me, how long did your happiness last once you achieved that goal; or once you obtained that item? Our human existence has us searching for happiness in things and in others. I believe we have it twisted…why should the happiness only come after the 'thing'? Once you have the latest phone, you’ll be happy.  Once you get that job you’ve been waiting for, you’ll be happy.  Once you earn a certain amount every month, you’ll be happy. Once you get married to that special person, you’ll be happy.
What if I told you that you could be happy regardless of your external reality? Would you believe it is possible? Would you believe that you don’t need a single thing on this planet to make you happy (besides you)?

This is how our ‘reality’ works.
Thought > vibration/energy > feeling > manifestation.  We have a thought > it sends out a vibration > we then feel a certain way and then something > manifests. For example, you think about coffee. A vibration is sent out and you feel a desire to have coffee and know that having coffee will make you happy. So you imagine it, breathe deep and smile. A short while later, someone offers you a cup of coffee…it has manifested! Notice how you felt the feeling before you had the coffee?! Imagine applying that to everything in your life? 

But I’m currently going through a rough patch.
So something is currently making you feel bad in your human existence. How does this concept of making 'happiness a reality' fit this situation? Simple, you ignore it. Ignore what is and any aspect in your physical reality that doesn’t please you, because ‘what is’, is old news. NOW, this moment, is all that is real. Whether you think about your past – you are doing it NOW, whether you imagine your future – you are doing it NOW. This very moment is the only thing you can control and it is the only thing that is real! NOW is where it is at, this is the only place that satisfaction can occur. So breathe deep, let go of the feeling holding you hostage and release yourself into the happy feeling place… no matter what your situation or circumstance, you can feel good! No matter what, don’t ever feel bad about feeling good! You have a right to feel good…always. 

Do you set goals for yourself?
Great! Do you allow yourself to be happy before they manifest? Here’s something many are not ready or open to hear:

Everything you’ve ever wanted, do want or will ever want, already exists…all you need to do is call it into your existence.

How? The very first time you think about something and it follows with a feeling…DONE! That is how it is created! All you need to do now is to continue feeling good and it will manifest. Yes, that’s it, feel good FIRST and then everything you want will flow to you in abundance! Our society has made us believe that we must obtain what we want first, and then the happiness will follow. Why wait to be happy, when you can feel it now?

Do you ever feel stuck?
Sometimes I feel stuck at certain points in my life. I am not sure which step I should be taking next. I then ask myself: "What am I doing with my life?!" This leads to frustration. I realise that this happens when I run ahead of myself to obtain happiness found in situations/things/goals. At these times I need to slow down to allow myself to catch up to myself. I do this by doing less and being more. As soon as I do this and I am whole again, I am happy, instantly! I no longer feel stuck, I feel at peace with my life. I. FEEL. HAPPY. 

Society: “What do you want?”
ME: “I want to be happy.”
Society: “What makes you happy?”
ME: “Being happy makes me happy.”
Society: “You must be crazy!.”
ME: “The crazier I am, the happier I am.”

I. AM. HAPPY. Under all conditions, I choose to feel happy. I am unconditionally happy! And no, this does not mean I bounce off the walls with energy all the time because I am filled with so much happiness!
Happiness is peace. Happiness is deep breathing. Happiness is satisfaction. Happiness is gratitude. Happiness is letting all the barricades down and letting yourself radiate who you truly are, because who you truly are IS happy!

Your life is supposed to feel good to you!
Does it?
