Or where will I find it?”My answer is, “But you already have it-as it is within you!” The last place in the world you may think to look for it. Yes, having abundant money, a rewarding career and that special person in your life does ADD to your happiness, but real, true happiness comes from deep within you.I’ve got a secret for you - It is an inside job!As my mother used to tell us, “You have a choice when you get up in the morning to be either happy or unhappy. Make the choice to be happy.” Also I am sure you have heard the phrase “Fake it until you make it.” Well I don’t say to fake it, I say put on a happy face and soon you will find that you really do feel happier.A great affirmation to say, think and feel with passion every day several times a day is,“I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy and you will be!Also forgiveness is a big part of being unhappy. Is there someone or something in your life that you need to forgive? Remember that forgiveness benefits mostly the person doing the forgiving. Forgiveness heals even the deepest of wounds. You can be angry with a former lover and your whole being is consumed with that anger, while he or she is a movie picture, with his or her arm around another person, eating an ice-cream cone, not the least bit concerned about you or how angry you are. (And this could also be an “inside job’). Don’t waste you time on holding grudges and thoughts of getting even. Instead allow the Universe to take care of it through the Law of Karma or “what goes around comes around,’ etc.A Word About AffirmationsJust what is an affirmation, you may ask? An affirmation is simply a positive sentence stating exactly what you desire. To affirm is to state that it is so and maintain this attitude regardless of what is happening all around you-and the answer will come.Just know that any idea that is accepted by your brain is automatically transferred into an action of some kind. It may take seconds, minutes, or longer, but ideas always produce a reaction of some kind. Say to your subconscious mind, “Hey wonderful mind you know how to assist me in becoming radiantly healthy and I now ask for your help, for which I give thanks,” Then do an affirmation as set out below.The power of creation is always present in the now and you are always creating and re-creating. If you have a problem, you created it and you can uncreate it.Always affirm in the present time. Saying and decreeing, “I deserve and now have” makes it present tense. If you say, “I deserve and will have,” you are putting the manifestation off into the future-perhaps some future lifetime. Your subconscious mind will honour the postponement inherent in this statement. You cannot live in the past, present, and future at the same time. This is humanly impossible. So don’t try to live in all three time zones. If you do you just set yourself up for a fall.
