“Practice experiencing your feelings directly and completely by observing them as they move through your mind and body and then letting them go.”

What would our lives be like if we could all be happy no matter what?

Researchers tell us that we have about sixty thousand thoughts a day.

When people are deeply happy they bring a sense of purpose with them wherever they go, whatever circumstances they are in. So if they’re changing the oil in the car, they bring a sense of joyful purpose even to that.

Put your attention on happiness by practicing the Happiness Habits each day.

The second doorway has to do with vitality. It’s about feeling alive, vital, and feeling the life-force flow through us. This doorway is also known as the creativity center and it houses a great sense of aliveness in it.

I wanted to know if we could live in that state of love, not just every so often, but as an ongoing reality. The answer is YES. There are people who are doing just that, and I wanted to share with the world how they’re consistently living in a state of love.

Gratitude is absolutely the way to bring more into your life.

I’ve come to see that I have two choices in how I approach change: I can either resist change or be open to what’s ahead and feel the peace that “all is well in the universe.” When I lean into the latter, I feel excited about the future.

Go for the sense of inner joy, of inner peace, of inner vision first and then all the other things from the outside appear.

Once you begin to understand and truly master your thoughts and feelings, that’s when you see how you create your own reality.

Love is your job description – no matter what you do for a living. If you ever feel unsure of what you’re supposed to do in a situation, here’s a good rule of thumb: always do what leads to greater love.

So if you have over-indulged during the holidays, for example, please don’t beat yourself up, but rather have compassion and forgiveness and perhaps, even try the Ho’oponono technique.

The first doorway (or chakra) is what I call in the book, the Doorway of Safety. This doorway relates to feeling safe in life and being present in the here and now. It’s only when we are really grounded and safe that we’re able to relax and open up our hearts.

We’re all here to live a fabulous life… a life of love, truth, and joy.We have the power to wake up to that. We have the power to say “I’m not just here to survive, I’m here to live the greatest life that can be lived”.

When you’re happy for no reason, you’re unconditionally happy. It’s not that your life always looks perfect – it’s just that however it looks, you’ll still be happy.

When you forgive, you heal your own anger and hurt and are able to let love lead again. It’s like spring cleaning for your heart.
