Daily Inspiration: December 22. Creating the Habit of Happiness – Condensed Version

Today, let us use the gift of free will to make a conscious decision to move in the direction of our happiness. Let us do this by shifting our time, focus and energy toward thoughts, words and actions that bring us joy. Do not allow the ego to convince you that this is a selfish act. Being all One, what helps one person align with their happy, loving nature, helps serve as an example to others of what is also possible for them. When you focus on your own joy, you then become a beacon of joy for others. Even if you just consciously choose to focus on feeling joy one more time or five more minutes each day, you will see your life begin to shift in the direction of your happiness. What makes you happy? Take your direction from the answers to that question and each day move toward your goal.

Today, recall that you are Love’s creation and that joy is one of Love’s numerous expressions. When you are being asked to focus on joy, you are simply being asked to be who you already are. It is not hard to be who you were created by God to be. What is hard is to try to not be who you were created by God to be. Free will offers you the opportunity to choose and align with joy in every thought, word and action. Joy, as one of God’s/Love’s numerous treasures, is your inheritance and birthright. You, as Love’s creation, are forever worthy of God’s inheritance. Today, accept and enjoy your inheritance by sharing it with all those God sends your way. Offer joy to others and experience this energy flowing through you and throughout your day. Today, simply choose to support the thoughts, words and actions that move you in the direction of joy, and forgive and let go of those that try to move you away from joy. Do so and today you’ll make joy your constant companion.
