Happy moments

It has been a long time since I sat down and wrote a blog. I have had the idea for this particular blog on my mind for a few weeks now, I just wanted to make sure I gave it enough thought before I sat down and put it into words. This blog is about, what my wife and I call "Happy moments". Have you ever had a moment in your day when you feel an over whelming sense of Happiness or joy, and your not really sure why you feel it? For my wife and I they usually happen when we are just sitting around watching television or just spending time with our kids. But they can happen almost anywhere or anytime. You never know when or where it's gonna happen, it just does.

It's as if all the troubles, aggravation or worrying you have in your life just goes away for a short time. You feel only Happiness, you live only in the moment. You are not worried about the future and do not dwell on the past. This, in my opinion, is like having a moment of awareness. A real moment of enlightenment. You have unconsciously awaken to your inner-peace. You are no longer bogged down with negative emotions, like anger, fear, resentment or worry. You have let it all go, you have seen what it feels like to be truly Happy. The only problem with this is, it only lasts for a short time. But if we are mindful, if we can remember how these feelings make us feel, we can decide that we want to feel that way all the time. It is possible.

Waking up to your inner-peace, feeling that Happy for the rest of your life is a possibility for each and everyone of us. For many people, meditation is the path to feeling that way every minute of every day. We must train our minds not to place emphasis on the negativity of the world, but to really embrace all the positivity that we have surrounding us every day. Meditation doesn't have to be something that takes an hour or two every day. You could start out slowly, by when you are feeling negative, you just close your eyes and be mindful of your breathing, just a few moments of this will put you in a more relaxed frame of mind. And when your mind is relaxed, you can handle life's little troubles a lot better.

Negativity and anger clouds our judgments. It pollutes the way we see the world, the way we perceive others, even the way we experience our lives. But Happiness on the other hand, makes every thing better. The world is a much more beautiful place, our food tastes better and our relationships are more meaningful. I am pretty sure if anyone of you reading this have ever felt this kind of happy moment, you have the desire to feel that way all of the time. The first step is understanding that the power to have this ever lasting feeling is inside each and everyone of you. It will not be an easy or over night accomplishment, but with a little work each day, it will become more accessible. We all deserve life long Happiness. Good luck on your journey and know that I wish you many more Happy moments in your lives. Blessings and Love to you all.
