Happy is a frame of mind…Joy a state of being.

Happy is a frame of mind…Joy a state of being.
When I “try” I am saying “a part of this doesn’t resonate with me.”
When I am “trying” I enter a space of potential failure, guilt, or shame.
Trying creates a river of resistance.
Instead, I think I will simply choose to “do” – do what feels right, do what I can do, do what resonates as what I am supposed to do.
Do without resistance.

Know that your kindness, your happiness, and your goodness are what sparkles and shines in this world…and that IS enough.

Compassion, peace, and calm cannot be forced. One cannot demand that someone be compassionate. One cannot command peace and calm. Rather, one must model it, live it, and know that the path to peace in ourselves and others is a steady process of balancing ego and replacing envy and judgment with love and inspiration. And that is the hard work that we must individually choose to do.

To know unconditionally is one thing.
To love unconditionally is another.
