Discovering True Happiness

Live each moment
Being open to all
Responding in the best way you can

Allow all thoughts and feelings
Receive each as a gift
Acknowledge the unwanted ones
The presents that you, would rather not have been given
Express your truth about them
And then let them pass

When fully accepted
All experiences offer growth
Be thankful for this growth
It means that when a similar circumstance
Comes around again, as it will
You will experience it from a different place
A new knowing

Do not rush, sit with things
Answers appear when you are ready to hear them
Allow these cycles of learning
To return as often as they need to
And each time
Receive, Feel, Accept, Give thanks, Let go

Happiness is found in being able to experience and hold all things
Without the need to label, keep or contain anything
When we try to keep something
It festers inside us
Releasing poison into our lives

Even good experiences when held on to
Will spoil or lose their sparkle
If we allow things to go
They will return again
Each time fresh and new
Still pleasurable, still exciting

If we hold on to everything
We will not have space for any thing new
So even with good things
Receive, Enjoy, Give thanks, Let go

Live each moment
And you will find that as you
Experience, accept and transform all that is painful
As you enjoy what is good without clinging
The ability to be happy
Truely Happy, is just there.
