SELF HAPPINESS
As we are part of the flow, and part of trust, we have to focus on our own internal flow. Not only may disruptions affect our own path, but the loss of a smooth, predictable pattern may cause other planets to lose theirs. The trust that “everything will work out” sometimes means controlling the disruptions, or at least understanding them enough to limit their impact on other planets. Perhaps the disruption is necessary, but we study other planets that have gone through similar experiences to gain better certainty about the outcome. Maybe those planets can help us by providing a barrier from galaxy debris, so we can go through our transformations. Maybe in the canyons and craters, we can see clues about what to expect.
Fear is only of the unknowns. We know what our fate is — that part is known, so we don’t fear it anymore. We often hear, “What would you do on your deathbed?” What guilt would you have, and what can you do now to bring a smile not only to your face, but to the faces of your loved ones? Would you worry about what might happen to your daughter, or would you be peaceful knowing she will be happy? Would you regret not spending enough time with your parents, and are there things you wish you had told them?
We often get lost in the turbulence and challenges of life. We forget to live in the present. We put times on our celebrations, and we ignore the important messages from our body. Pain — a gift we have — is our precious body highlighting that something is wrong. We ignore it because we are caught up in the turbulence. Sadness, frustration, jealousy — these are messages from our body and subconscious mind that we have unresolved issues. It’s like a child asking for help but being ignored. He is given distractions to occupy his mind. The message is still there; we just need to listen.
“When you succeed, you party. When you fail, you ponder. Greatness only comes out of pondering.”
Why are we sad? Why are we frustrated? Why are we jealous? Do we have as many alerts for happiness? Or is happiness the flow, and negative emotions the turbulences? If we don’t address our turbulences, how will we get back into the flow and ensure we don’t end up in the same place again?
Though there are other forces — negative or positive — we are responsible for our own world. And although we can influence other life forms, we must realize they are responsible for their own world. All we can do is share our experiences. All we can do is influence, not control.
We often say: “Love your neighbor,” “listen,” “trust,” but we forget to do the same for ourselves. All of us have our own universe — a unique outcome of various experiences. We may see glimpses of similarities in other worlds, and there is a theoretical possibility that you may have a replica. But do you want to ignore the benefits of what the present has to offer? Would you want to be stuck in a pursuit that may not exist? Even offspring born of the same parents, at the same time, have unique personalities. Is the understanding you are seeking real?
To be in the flow with others, we must first make ourselves predictable. We need to be at peace with ourselves. We need to find our own unique rhythms — rhythms that only the study of our turbulences can explain. If we are frustrated, we should be open to the possibility that it might be because we are not able to express what we feel. Jealousy may be because a possible reality we imagined did not come true. Pain might be because we hurt ourselves, and sadness because something is no longer in the flow.
Solving each of these emotions requires effort, and to understand them, we need to let them flow naturally. Creating disruptions causes vortexes within, draining even more energy to escape. Letting emotions flow helps us understand the bigger picture — ourselves — instead of creating infinite unknowns and possibilities that may not be true. Just like we trust the universe, we need to trust ourselves. Take turbulences as learning opportunities. Address them so you can reduce the chances of them happening again, and return to the flow called life. To be in harmony, we need to be in harmony with ourselves — realizing our goals rather than setting them and fighting them, creating more turbulence.
Being in harmony with yourself can also be described as “being in the zone,” “being focused,” “being at peace,” “being able to pay attention,” or “seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.” That comes from being worry‑free, having a guilt‑free conscience, and being assured that your loved ones are happy.
“The day you will be happy to die will be the day you will be happy to live.”
