This will take a shift for a lot of you. This is the moment in time you have to stop saying you are not happy. It doesn’t help you to believe you are unhappy. You are not. You ARE happy.
The difference is that you want to be happier.
The first step is to remember there are moments in life which can cause us to be mad, sad, hurt, disappointed etc. There are not times in our lives that will ever make us unhappy. We won’t let them.
The second step is to accept that we want to be happier. That part of our life journey is to want more. We want to be happier and we can be. We have to work on it and we have to be clear on what we want, but we can be happier than we are now.
The last step is letting go of happiness. There isn’t going to be a place you will arrive where you are perfectly happy. Life is a journey and it comes going and going. That means you have so many opportunities and possibilities to be happier and happier and even happier.
Right now, you can think of at least one time when you could have done something which would have made you happier but you didn’t for some reason.
Remember these moments and allow them to be the fuel that keeps you focused on moving forward and working to be happier. That is your guide.
What will make you happier in this moment and how can YOU make it happen?

I loved this article. It seems like so much common sense. Especially because most of us give up our own happiness to make someone else happy. I find myself doing that often, and then finding out that those people don’t care if I gave up my happiness for them. I needed that article. Thank you Michael!!

Sam,
You are so welcome. We forget that people want us to be happy. Sometimes by making ourselves happy, it makes others happy. Besides when we are happy it is easier for us to make others happy as well.
Make your happiness number 1!
