How do I see the world around me?

I mostly see people plagued by negativity.

Sad, it seems that they (we all) continually be resigned to,

JUST TAKE IT! To endure : Struggles, pain...

Needless shame, Endless worries & fears.

Always hold back the tears. Fruitless endeavors,

For countless years. Bending to the social pressures of our peers.

~~~ ~~~

I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY? This shouldn't be ALL , we are living for...

WHY AREN'T YOU LIVING FOR YOUR OWN HAPPINESS?

The dreams you hold inside of you, giving you light inside your heart. They are there to be your salvation from all the darkness that surrounds. Dreams are there to give meaning, give reason for an existence otherwise empty & shrouded in despair. Happiness is there, a guide to LEAD you AWAY from darkness. Yet, choose to sit in darkness consumed -While happiness waits to be your compass. Your insight - The soul must take flight!

~~~ ~~~

So think about it! Do you honestly find the news media on tv, in papers or online to be Soothing to your soul? Violent scenes, the hallmark in probably 90% of what's aired on television? Sometimes, it's just gross! I can't wait to click off... 'THE NEGATIVITY BOX".

Do you delight in seeing floods, tornados, hurricane - force winds? Blizzards, fires out of control?

Does seeing natural disasters strike daily: Give you a sense of stability in your life? REALLY, of course not!

How do you feel wondering. "It could happen to me at any time. Could I survive any of these similar, horrifying catastrophes?"

Would you honestly want to? Me: For certain, NO!

~~~ ~~~

Is it NECESSARY to you, to keep feeding your mind & soul,

THESE TERRIBLE IMAGES OF DARKNESS??

No, Surely not as I see it. We find this negative side ENOUGH.

Too much as it is...happening in our everyday lives.

We don't need to consume triple helpings from tv dramas.

8 hours of news coverage---REPEATING the same stories. DAY,AFTER DAY, AFTER DAY! Aren't we sick of seeing the same dismal scenes?

These things are predominately beyond our control.

Help IF You can; When you feel called.

But we all know we can't solve all the problems in the world.

~~~ ~~~

We can't make people do the right things, but WE CAN CHOOSE TO DO RIGHT OURSELVES!

CHOOSE kindness & love over hate. Choose to accept people AS THEY ARE, over violence & hate crimes. Toss it aside; Ego's pride which only blinds- seeking to divide. Choose to see the love that unites us instead. Choose the things that make us feel alive.

That should be the centerpiece, for how we see our world in our daily lives. Sadly we always focus on: Managing stressful situations, or bracing ourselves to face perpetual state of pending doom.

WE LEAVE NO ROOM , NO TIME for embracing, for DEMANDING we live basking in the, Light- of -Happiness abound.

But we don't HAVE TO KEEP FEEDING our minds with this steady diet chaotic mess, DO WE? NO, NO, NO! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH NOW!!!

I implore to all to see, IT IS TIME THAT WE CHOOSE HAPPINESS ONCE AND FOR ALL!! AFTER ALL , WE CAME HERE TO HEAL OUR SOULS ... That is our one true goal in this life. IT IS TIME TO GET THIS RIGHT.

~~~ ~~~

Could we let go of the constant threats, fear filled drama? LOOSE THIS DREADFUL INTAGLEMENT WITH THE NEWS! PLEASE ,PLEASE TURN IT OFF!!! PLEASE WALK AWAY!! RUN!! LEAVE DRAMA BEHIND: instead do something fun! Dance , sing , go for a swim. Whatever, it is ... bail out on the negative things. Replace it all with things that bring comfort & joy to EACH DAY!!

TIME TO START LIVING YOUR LIFE ASWERING ONLY TO THE CALL OF OUR SOULS! SEEKING LIGHT & NOURISHING OURSELVES.

BE TRULY FREE!

JOY WE FIND IN OUR HEARTS must guide our every life decision.

Give ourselves EVERY PERMISSION TO PUT HAPPINESS IN CHARGE.

NOW!!! Let us STOP Starving for LOVE , JOY & PEACE ... PLEASE!

GIVE YOUR SOUL WHAT IT CRAVES TO SHINE ,FLOURISH.

GIVE IT YOUR HAPPY HEART, YOUR EYES THAT SPARKLE BRIGHT!

GIVE IT ALL THE TREASURES THAT ARE YOURS: What ever you may find. If it brings that sense of peace: IF IT MAKES YOU SMILE...Do whatever it takes to find it. TAKE IT! CHERISH IT! USE IT! IT IS YOURS!

IT IS FOR YOUR SOUL'S SAKE! YOUR SAKE BECAUSE YOU ARE YOUR SOUL! Let it be in charge, go & do the things it requires....

It requires that attention be placed in chasing after all the things we love: People we have in our lives; All the things given, for which we are blessed.

Let's PAY CLOSER ATTENTION TO THE SOUL, IT ONLY WANTS WHAT'S FOR OUR BEST!

MIND IT! OBLIGE IT BY REQUEST... Listen to your heart, FOLLOW YOUR BLISS more. Put that first & ABOVE ALL THE REST!

Do all you do, with HAPPINESS AS YOUR GUIDE.

EXPLORE, DISCOVER SOMETHING NEW! Do THINGS FOR YOUR GOOD. It is my wish for you!

Go off now in this pursuit .... IT IS TIME TO SEEK & FIND, more treasures as blessings - gifts to you!

Do this and be blessed! What dreams will come you way. come true?

When you CHOOSE to embark on your own HAPPINESS QUEST!

Peace, LOVE ,LIGHT & HAPPINESS for all!
