Ponderings

Happiness is simple…..when you change an emotional expectation or ‘have to’ into a mild preference, and acceptance of what is…

Think of something, someone, or a situation that is preventing you from being happy at the moment.  A need to have things a certain way is a control game, and a resistance to and fear of….(fill in the blank yourself- think about it). How better would the situation have been it it were just a mild reference with no expectation??

We cannot control others, only ourselves, we need only to trust ourselves. Is the need to be able to trust others just another expectation fraught with disappointment?! In the situations that you can control, are the outcomes joyous or exhausting?

Intend happiness, and just be.
