Inasmuch as happiness bursts from within you, it can burst at any time. Happiness does not have to wait. Happiness is dependent upon you. Why wait?

Signal yourself to be happy. Don't wait another day for something to happen before you grant yourself happiness. I say you are worthy to be happy now, so what is the delay?

Perhaps you have defined happiness in a certain way. Perhaps you have taken away its inalienable rights. Perhaps you have held it on a short leash. Perhaps happiness is already yours. Perhaps you hold the Kohinoor diamond in your hand, and know it not.

You were made for happiness. Isn't that an astounding thought? If you believed you were meant to be happy, wouldn't you be? You don't really think I made you to grumble, do you? What do you think I would choose for you? Throw out those faces with the mouth turned down. Remember the smiley face.

Do not feel that you have to smile despite your life. Smile because of your life. Smile because you are alive on Earth and vibrant in My Kingdom. Enter the field of happiness. Why not live in happiness?

Choose happiness every day. Choose happiness every moment. Let go of whatever dissatisfaction keeps you back from happiness. Don't pout. Be happy.

Be happy for the possibility. Happiness may not be offered to you on a silver platter, yet happiness is offered to you. I hold it out to you now like a greeting card. Open it up, and smile. It is for you. It has your name on it. You don't have to sign for it. Just take it. Acknowledge that happiness is yours. Just have it.

Happiness does not have to hinge on something else. You may have thought it does. You may have thought something has to happen before happiness is yours.

You don't have to grab happiness as if it would run away. Happiness is yours now. Just keep it in front of you. Don't put it aside. Keep happiness right with you. Make it your buddy now. Happiness avails itself to you. Now avail yourself of it.

Claim your happiness. Make it your own. Take it into your own heart.

Happiness is not an add-on. It is not frill. It is your birthright. Do not give it away or put it aside. Even though happiness is not something you wear, try it on. Do not leave it on the window sill as you might a diamond ring when you wash dishes. Keep it with you. Do not take happiness off even for a moment. You have the power to be happy.

To be happy is a fine thing to be. It is benevolent. It's a funny thing about happiness. When you have it, you are giving it to the world at the same time as you keep it. Happiness is yours, and yet you sprinkle it on everyone. It is impossible not to.

What is the greatest thing you can do for the world? Live your happiness. In rain or shine, live your happiness.

Happiness is not like a tan that you can get only in the bright sun. Happiness is available always, and I want you to partake of it. Fill up your plate with happiness. No tiny portions when it comes to happiness. If you are on diet of happiness, you are on a diet to gain it. The sign on the buffet table says: "Take all you want. You can't take too much."

Happiness multiplies. You don't have to know how to multiply it. Happiness will multiply of its own accord. Just know that happiness is yours, and it will multiply until the world is filled with happiness, overflowing happiness, happiness every which way, happiness everywhere, happiness rampant, happiness everywhere because you choose it.
