Happiness is yours. I give it to you. It is the rug you stand on, the floor you walk on, the chair you sit in. You are the happiness you carry. That has to be so because I exist in your heart, and I am your happiness. I am your happiness of count.

When fear enters your heart, unhappiness gets its foot in the door. Fear and trembling dance a little jig in your heart, and you call this unhappiness. You name a state of affairs as unhappiness. Unhappiness seems very real to you, yet it is not the state of affairs. Unhappiness is an idea you carry. Fear gets a hold on you and makes you fearful, and your heart sinks.

You may think that the present is unhappy. You may feel unhappy, yet unhappiness is an idea that you carry around. You tell yourself that you are stuck in the mud and can never truly be happy, or happy for long. On Earth, life moves on irrespective of anything.

A decision you make for happiness is moving yourself forward, dear ones. A decision for unhappiness holds your back. Both happiness and unhappiness are conclusions you draw. A conclusion can be anything at all. A conclusion may be like a cloak you put on with many moth holes in it. Such conclusions are not of much use to you. Certainly, the conclusions you make color your day. If you like color, then color your day with the colors you like. The conclusions you draw are optional. Opt to use the colors you like.

Who dares to tell you otherwise? Who dares to tell you that you can’t be happy in a world of splendor? If life is what you make of it, make of it what you will. You are the advocate of your life. You may be convinced that no man or woman can dictate to you that you are happy. By the same token, no human being can assert that you are unhappy, yet you are a human being who calls yourself happy or unhappy. You are a good convincer. Jump onto another track of thought. The scale you range regarding happiness or unhappiness holds no certainty. When you proclaim unhappiness, you bet against yourself. You are being false to yourself.

Neither need you declare yourself as happy because happiness is not in question. I will be your happiness. You are never without Me. I am yours.

Your happiness is not dependent upon what is going on around you. You are far greater than whatever is going on around you. You are made up of far more than whatever may be dancing around you at a particular moment. You have say over yourself.

Happiness or unhappiness are relative. Today you may be unhappy about one thing. Tomorrow you may be happy about another. Be happy today anyway. Even as today you could be feeling unhappy and focusing on your unhappiness, still, today you run free. You have full use of your arms and legs and your mind. I can guarantee, that if you were to lose the full use of your arms and legs and your mind, you would look back at today as a happy day. This is what is meant by relative. You decide how to look at your life. Happiness and unhappiness are choices you make. Start looking at your life from a place of happiness. What do you possibly have to gain otherwise?

Are you your own friend or not? If you have been negating yourself, stop this moment. Be a cheerleader. Put an end to predicting what you don’t want and expanding on it. If you don’t desire unhappiness, then cease declaring it now and forever.
