After much thought, meditation and debate with my self I have decided that what I want is happiness in life. I know that money will not buy happiness, however, I do believe happiness will buy money.I wonder if ever there were a time I can say I was really happy in my life. After thinking about it I think yes there was a time when I children were small and I thought that I was smarter than they were. It wasn't long before friends and acquaintances were telling me my children were a lot smarter than I would ever be. Looking back and looking at them now I have to say they were right. My children are awesome individuals and are the source of my Happiness now. Just seeing my daughter and grand daughter shows me what Happiness really is. Watching my son and doing my best not to live my life through him makes me happy knowing he is my best friend. I may not be his best friend for he has so many and makes them so easily by just being himself. I have found the way to happiness is actually easy for as with all things it starts with a decision to be happy. Then I begin to think happy thoughts and acknowledge my right to be happy. Then I allow happiness to be in my life for I know that the Universe wants only the very best for me. It is only when I allow my mind to get in the way and think to much and over analyze it or anything that I tend to get in my own way. I am an expert in messing up for there were times that if it could be messed up I would. Now I tend to realize prior to messing up allowing to clean things up before they become a mess. The whole secret was taking responsibility for my life and realizing it was me and not my family, spouse, friends or any one else's responsibility. My life was and is my responsibility to live it and enjoy it or not. When I am not enjoying life it is usually because I am living in the past or the future. As long as I allow myself to stay in the moment and enjoy each moment I find my live becoming easier and easier. I actually enjoy being me. There was a time in my life, in fact most of my life, I did not enjoy being me. Having discovered that I am actually a very good, intelligent person makes it a lot easier to live with myself. Yes, I lived many years not liking myself much less loving myself. Now I find out that all of those years were ok and It would have been ok to like or even to love me for I was failing I was only learning and each supposed failure was a valuable lesson bringing me to the person I am today. Yes, no matter what it is they are only lessons, acknowledge them, love them and release them for they have brought you to where you are today. If you aren't happy with them acknowledge them, love them let them go and decide to make a new life for your self. That intent alone will totally change your life. From me to you have a great life,I believe in YOU! Love, Peace and Light, Rev. Isaac Of wisaac3rd.com
