Whether you have realised it or not, to a considerable degree, being happy is a choice. However, it does not necessarily mean that you need to apply effort in order to do so.

True happiness can be elusive when you are actively pursuing it, to ‘make yourself happy’. And thanks to the Law of Reversed Effort, the more you try, the more elusive it can become.

The trick, therefore, is to be ‘open to happiness’. This openness can be achieved by operating from a more relaxed state, by filling your heart with love and gratitude, and by being present moment to moment.

It is really when you are NOT actively pursuing happiness, but instead are creating the conditions for you to be happy that, almost without you noticing, you may suddenly realise that you are happy. When it happens, it is a beautiful thing.

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!
