Be happy now

Today, I want to share a concept with you. This concept while possibly percieved as radical or crazy is be happy now. I know many of you are probably shaking your head and asking how does he expect me to do that when so many things in my life make me unhappy. The answer is simple, choose to be happy. If I were to walk up to any one of you and ask what is keeping you from being happy, many of you would parrot off one of these reasons. Too much stress in my life. Not enough money. Bad job. Too many bills and so on.
Something to keep in mind is that you have chosen this life for you. Another thing to keep in mind is that when you choose to be happy, you are instantly happy. Now I want you to travel through time with me for a second or two. Go back to the last time you felt blissfully happy. Chances are it was a day like your birthday or a day when someone took the time to make you feel special. Now read the last part of that sentence again. Make you feel special. Now I want you to ask yourself why you should have to wait for someone else to do something for you to be happy. Do you feel a little irritated that your happiness lies in someone's hands? Well stop. Your life and your happiness depends only on you. You believe that you can't be happy unless certain things happen like having a better job, making more money, having a bigger house, or having the perfect family. Let me share a secret with you.... You can be happy right now.
Visualize what your life would be like if it was perfect and instead of coming back to reality being sad that you aren't living that life right now, I want you to go about your day acting as though you already have all of the things you want. Work like you make millions. Drive like you have the nicest car on the block. Clean your house like you own a mansion that just needs to be picked up a little bit. Treat your family like they can do no wrong and eventually you will be right.
You will find that you have total control of your life. Now I want you to think over everything in your life that you have to be thankful for. Once you acknowledge that you have things in your life that make you happy and you start being thankful for them, God will start giving you more to be grateful for. Be happy now and you will attract more things to make you happy. Until next time, Sterling out.
