Positive power of happiness

It is simple and easy to be happy. The hard part is

Convincing yourself, and getting past your own resistance to

Happiness.

You might assume that just because things are one way or

Another, there is no possibility of happiness. Yet that

Assumption is entirely mistaken.

You know precisely how to be happy, how to create the

Feeling of happiness within yourself and how to express it

Within any context. You've done it many times in a whole lot

Of different situations.

Your happiness does not come from the moment, or the

Surroundings, or even from the people around you. It comes

From you, and from your decision to feel its positive power.

Go ahead and skip right over all those reasons why you can't

Be happy. Instead, think of the times when you have been

Happy and recall the strategy you've always used to bring

That happiness to life.

Activate that very same strategy right now. And bring the

Positive power of your own happiness to this very moment.
