Choose happiness

As I went walking after a workout, I came upon this hibiscus. It was beaming with happiness. While that description may sound unfamiliar to you, that is the way I identify a flower or plant that is bursting with vitality and vibrancy.

If this had been a female, she would’ve been wearing colorful clothing and smiling brilliantly as she stood the in the sun soaking in the rays and being happy about everything, including herself. This is more of a deeply felt and exuded joy from the inside.

This feeling of complete abandon and joy can be seen in children, too. They usually don’t choose their clothing but their utter belief of just being themselves and being loved radiates from them. Men don’t express their joy in the same way, but they would be confident in themselves and fully in the moment.

Happiness is not the same as confidence but they are usually intertwined. Someone can be confident but not happy. This would be like knowing something bad is imminent but not being happy about it. This confidence is a knowing. This leads to confidence being defined as knowing or trusting in oneself and one’s abilities. I will be writing a future book or creating a future training/healing on this topic.

Returning back to happiness. Happiness is an emotion that one can experience because of something wherein you felt good. Too often, humans rely too heavily on the frequency of positive experiences to be happy. This causes an unpredictable mismatch of emotions. Instead of allowing circumstances to dictate your mood, can you choose to be happy? I say this is the better habit to maintain. Choosing to be happy is not about requiring everything to be just as you would want it to be all the time. It is more about selecting the compass that you want to lead your life by. In choosing to be happy or a positive emotion, you raise your vibrational energy. Your lows come but they aren’t as dramatic as before because your compass is happiness. When you raise your vibrations, your vibrational energy affects those positively around you even if subtly. What you draw to you will also be through a higher vibrational filter. 

Have you ever encountered someone who just seems to be lucky all of the time? Whether consciously or subconsciously, that person was drawing forth and exuding that energy. This is the same with happiness. If you choose to be, you are. Be happy because you choose it and that is the person you want to be.
