Choose to BE Happy :O)

BEing Happy is a CHOICE,
YOUr Choice!!!

Watching television the other night, the show, “Cold Case”, a most brutally vicious episode, illustrated my exact ponderings of late.
In the episode, they had a serial killer in their custody, and were on the hunt for one of his victims, whose where about were unknown. The victim of course, the cold case they were attempting to solve.
The murderer didn’t actually “kill” his victims, per se, though he did murder the life out of them.
He was a video editor, and he chose his victims from home movies he edited, always choosing female victims, always women who showed a LOVE and devotion for LIFE, or at least something within their lives, that gave them wonder lust for living.
One of his victims was a new mother, completely within the ecstasy of unconditional LOVE for her newborn baby, another, a devotee of god, and yet another, newly engaged to the man of her dreams.

He took each one, put them into a small enclosed room, cut off from all traces of the world outside and taunted them with their home videos, showcasing the very things in life they found meaning within. He watched them as they lost their will to live, and then, whether a month, year or years later, took off the door that locked them into their prison, waited a day to see if they would leave, and then enclosed them into that room with concrete bricks to die.

It was the thrill of watching the sparkle of love and life drain from their BEingnesses that excited him, stripping away the meaning they found in their lives, to prove to himself, that life in fact was nothing but illusory. He was overwhelmed by how so many found meaning in things, people, places, situations, that when removed from these, would prove just how meaningless life really was – funny how he found meaning in watching others lose their own!

Except his last victim- the “Cold Case”, that is.
After a year of being imprisoned, mentally tortured, raped of all that was dear and meaningful in her life, after all his efforts to break her, even enclosing her, finally within her concrete chamber of death, she held on, she did not surrender, for she KNEW the meaning of life, she had LOVE for her SELF.
Thankfully, the end of the gruesome episode was one of positivity as she, the last victim is found, alive and reunited with her mourning fiancé over a year later.

YEAH!!!!

And the message, the all important message, for which it would appear, we seem to be so horribly conditioned in so receiving, through such gruesome means, stands LOUD and CLEAR.

Life is meaningFULL because YOU ARE MEANINGFULL!!!
Yes, all that we experience in life provides the means by which we may reflect on just how wonderful life is, but sometimes, our experiences are not necessarily of the most positive in nature, like our Cold Case victim, and yet still within this desolate situation, one is able to find meaning, reason, purpose for BEing.

BEing Happy is a state of MIND, it is a Choice, YOUr choice, no matter what your situation.

I have met countless individuals, watched countless documentaries, experienced countless situations, within which one would easily assume, all hope had been lost, there was no point to be found in going on, except…..
Except, the very miracle of LIFE itself, the MIRACLE of WE.

From prisoners in concentration camps to individuals living on the street, always in every life situation, meaning, Happiness, CAN be found!!!

You awoke this morning with an awful migraine, the kids are whining about school work they don’t want to do, the house is a despicable mess, and you have to be at a very important meeting in less than 1 hour.
Life is feeling really shitty about now, if that is HOW YOU CHOOSE to see/perceive it.
You have beautiful children from whom you may receive whines, that you may placate, teach and enlighten, a home that you have the pleasure of decorating, having shelter from the outside elements, and cleaning. You have a meeting that could change your lifestyle for the better, and the sun is shining, not to mention the advil in the medicine cabinet.

Every minute detail of life is a CHOICE for YOU to seize upon in delighted appreciation and happiness.
Sure, there’s negatives, debt, wars, obesity, relationship issues, but for every side of the coin, there is a flip side, an alternative perspective from which to view your life.
Opinions exist because of this very CHOICE, our FREE WILL to CHOOSE from which side of the coin we see.

How lucky are YOU to BE able to be in debt, some don’t have a house over their heads, let alone a phone, from which to receive calls from credit collectors.
How lucky are YOU to BE safe in a war torn country, where countless are ripped to smitherines?
How lucky are YOU to have a body, 10 fingers, and 10 toes, 2 eyes, ears, a mouth and a nose?

How lucky are WE to BREATHE air, experience LIFE, and have the FREE WILL to CHOOSE how to so DO?

Is the glass half empty or half full?
The answer is of OUR CHOOSING.
Which do you CHOOSE?

Whatever situation we find ourselves within, the bottom line is that we are WITHIN IT. How we perceive it, how we choose to deal with it, is not a matter of quantum physics, but a simple choice of MIND.
It is a SIMPLE CHOICE of MIND.
A simple choice, that affects ALL aspects of your day, your week, YOUr LIFE, ALL of them.

From the moment you wake in the morning, how you choose to BE, your state of mind, will affect all other situations you encounter through out the rest of your day.
Every choice to feel negative will promote more negative perceptions, when in TRUTH, it is just as easy to choose to see things positively, and thus affect all else with such a harmonized vibration.
To be able to empower one’s Self, is merely a choice of how to view, think about, feel towards, YOUr SELF.

We tend to get caught up in the moment we are within, without allowing ourselves the objectivity to see beyond, to reflect upon the choices we made that brought us to the situation we are currently within, or the purpose for which we are within this situation, the pathway we are laying out for ourselves to reach in the future.

Here’s an example.
You choose to leave behind your lucrative corporate job, to dedicate yourself to that which you truly believe within and start your own company.
You know, when making this decision, that the likelihood is, there will be bumps in the road ahead, your pathway will take you upon many a curve and valley.
Fast forward two years down the road, you are making strides in establishing your business, but you are experiencing financial difficulties, your lifestyle is not quite as “high end” as once it was, and you are feeling unbelievable stress as a result.
You need to take a consulting position to be able to make ends meet, not something you had planned on.

Thing is, before you left the corporate job that was providing for your higher end lifestyle, you weren’t enjoying that lifestyle, because you were working 80+ hours a week, and were definitely not in any position, either professionally qualified or time permitting, to take on any consulting jobs. Not to mention, you didn’t have your own business, growing.

So now, you are here, you’ve got your business growing, you have more time with your family, friends, SELF, and the ability to enjoy the life you had so fully given over to another’s profit before, plus the experience and knowledge to be offering your services as a consultant, whilst still ensuring your business continues to grow.

Sure, you’re going through a difficult patch, but looking back at where you began, didn’t you know that this day might, would invariably come?

So really, you are right where you knew you would be, only now you are actually in it, experiencing it, one of those “bumps in the road”, and it’s exactly what you thought it would be, curvy, bumpy, not a very smooth, let alone, enjoyable place or experience to have.

YET, if you remember, YOU put yourself here, because of a higher purpose, that being here means you have done, are in the process of accomplishing that which you set out to do, suddenly it does not seem like such a horrible place to be. In fact, it is a reaffirmation that you are on the right path, YOUr CHOSEN path.
And after all, YOU ARE HERE NOW.

So, one must ask themselves, in this NOW, how do I WANT to feel, think, BE?
For in any now, whether you are actually on a mission to fulfill a purpose, or for that matter, in need of completely changing your direction for a new purpose, ALLways, YOUR Choice of BEingess, YOUr state of Mind, YOUr experience, is TRUEly of YOUR CHOOSING!!!!!

Happiness is a State of Mind
Choice the Engine of our Evolution
How shall YOU Choose to evolve in this NOW?

In YOUr every NOW, the Choice to BE Happy is YOUrs and YOUrs ALONE!!!

Choose to BE Happy, NOW!!!!

Blessedly BE
the
TRUTH
of
WE
