We all can choose to learn to be happy with ourselves. Now, this may seem like a trite thing to say. Yet this happiness, which we can elect to live in daily through our Higher Self, is very important, because when we are happy with ourselves—first with our God Self and then with the totality of our being—we can emanate that happiness unto everyone and everything. And it really helps life all around us to be in this state of being.

What brings us true happiness? Not outer achievement, not doing things, not making other people happy and making them smile or laugh. What brings us happiness is our connection with our Source and feeling God’s love and light from deep within us, and then breathing within that, sustaining that through our breath and mindfully considering God, God, God within us throughout our day. And when that connection is there, then we can manifest all of the other beautiful little things that bring us joy in our daily life experience and which can help to sustain that outer happiness. And when people seek to bring us joy or happiness, we will recognize it, appreciate it, and value it as a part of the greater aura of happiness that we, as sons and daughters of God, deserve to live within. It really is our natural state.
