Trudging the Road of Happy Destiny

Life is in the Moments

If I allow my happiness to be contingent upon the ups and downs of life it becomes an illusion that, much like an addictive drug, is chased but never caught. Life is in the moments and I have the opportunity to re commit to life with each breath. When I find that I am in the future or past coming back to the moment can be as simple (not easy) as following my breath. When I am disturbed, restless, irritable, or one of 1000 other forms of spun up about life I can Pause, Relax, and Take it Easy. Happiness is not tied to achievements or material gains and the word happiness is almost a judgment of each moment. The moments are life and if I can approach life with acceptance and gratitude and an attitude grounded in selflessness it seems that positive energy has room to flow in.

Today I make a commitment to Pause, Relax, and Take it Easy. Today I will be grateful for each breath and the gift that lies within.
