I Want to Be Happy

Don't we all? I most certainly know that I want to be happy. This phase of my life sucks because it seems so repetitive, boring and non eventful. Many people have told me that my 20s and 30s will be the most fun time of my life but the truth of the matter is that it has been anything but fun. Boring, depressing.. sad even but not "fun". Some days are better than others , then some days just drag on and this sadness that I feel inside doesn't seem to want to go away. I've tried just about everything but nothing has really seemed to work. I wish that I had a magic wand to twirl so that way I could make these feelings of despair go away. So to those that have found happiness.. what's the secret? What am I doing wrong?

True success is being with all the mundane stuff - WHY? 99% of life is mundane.

The best gift that you can give you - is to still the mind.
When a mind is still - then you are not trapped in - mulling over all the aspects of your life, that work or not. When we mull on stuff - we rob us of each moment as it is.

Your first true love is your self love. To build up your self worth is your job. These two life tools of self-love and self-worth are your anchor. Then no matter how others around you act and behave at you - you will be anchored in you.

On YouTube are many music healing meditations that you can begin with - I use Relax River or Vortex Success. Music heals and calms, it will help you silence your mind jibber jabber.

This quote will indicate your next step:

Whenever the internal dialogue stops, the world collapses and extraordinary facets of ourselves surface, as though they had been heavily guarded by our words. You are like you are, because you tell yourself that you are that way.
