“Happiness is when you are equally able to embrace the times when you’re unhappy and the times when you’re happy.”
- Amir Zoghi –
It’s easy to be in acceptance of life when life is bringing you happiness. It’s even easier to then think to yourself that what is causing you to be happy “is meant to be”. But what about the times that life is causing you to frown instead of smile, what are your thoughts about life then, my dearest? Do you then think to yourself that what is causing you pain was “not meant to be”? Do you then have difficulty finding acceptance of what life is serving you? You know the answer to those questions better than anyone.
The thing about life is that it will always be serving you both highs and lows, both positive and negative energy. The real question is not why life has served you what it has served you; the real question is how you choose to respond to what life has served you. The difference between those who have mastered life and those who have not is all in the way they choose to respond to what life has served them. Some fight the challenges but others choose to dance with the challenges instead. Some embrace the moment of happiness while others become attached to the moment of happiness. Some resist the moment of unhappiness while others embrace the unhappiness and gain strength in who they are.
It’s not that everything in your reality is not real; it’s just that everything in your reality is either reflecting your Love or the parts of yourself that you have not yet loved. The Truth is that Love is trying to show you who you Truly are by allowing you to experience the parts of yourself that you have not yet loved. By loving the parts of yourself that you had been in judgment of, you are becoming the whole Truth of who you are, Love. This means that Love is all there is and when that is not your experience, this is because you are experiencing the parts of yourself that you have not yet loved.
You are experiencing yourself in a world of duality, a world of black and white, night and day, hot and cold. Whatever experience you are having, you can find its opposite.
Here is my message for you, stop only searching in your world of duality, your external world. You need to connect deeper than that to a place where everything that is becomes One with all that is. A place where True happiness is experienced, where True Joy and True Love becomes your natural state. Not a state that needs to be developed or found. This is the place where your external world will no longer be influencing your level of happiness or unhappiness; this is where “you are Happiness itself”.
How do you find this place, how do you find this wonderland? You have to go down the rabbit hole and there is only one way down the rabbit hole. You have to embrace and accept everything that is presenting itself to you right now in your life. You can’t just be embracing what makes you happy and resisting what does not. You have to be in acceptance of ALL that is presenting itself in your life right now, not just the things you think are “meant to be”. Everything is meant to be, otherwise how would you explain it coming into your existence? Do you really think the “Universe” will manifest anything into your reality that was “not meant to be” manifested? Maybe you should really get to know the “Universe” before you answer that question. How do you get to know the “Universe”? By getting to “Know Yourself”.
