Hi Sherry,

Yay for the Magic 5. Let me know how it goes!

I love those start-your-day questions. Those are so awesome.

I agree with you that starting the day with those and ending with the Magic 5 – your happiness and joy will be unstoppable!!! 🙂

Hi Kat,

I LOVE that Pharrell Williams song. One of my friends from ministerial school posted it on my wall as an encouragement to get through senior exams. It worked. I’ve watched it a bunch of times and it never fails to make me, well, happy! I love that you point out that kids are getting these kinds of messages too. What a difference that makes – to them and the world they are shaping.

Thank you for your comment! 🙂

Hi River,

Yeah, your Divine Self is a bad ass – rockin’ out around the clock! I agree with you that gratitude is a wonderful way to get to happiness. Having a regular gratitude practice has amped up my happiness to rockin’ out levels as well.

Love and hugs back atcha!

Hi Karen,

Yes, I love it when they do fancy scientific studies and prove what the metaphysicians have been saying all along – consciousness is creative! Think happy thoughts, have a happy life. I like this phrase of yours: “the open valves of happiness.” Yes!! What a wonderful way to live.

Thanks for your comment! 🙂

Yay!!! 🙂

The happier we are feeling, the more lined-up we are with our every joyful Inner Being, who sees everything through intensely-tinted, rose-colored glasses. And when we’re lined-up, we have access to the wisdom and love of that Inner Being and the power that creates worlds. Not too shabby.

Abraham has been encouraging us to live by the motto, “Nothing is more important than that I feel [emotionally] good” and then keep ever adjusting and fine-tuning our thoughts to make it so.

Everything we’ve ever wanted comes to us through the open valves of happiness, and happiness comes one thought at a time.

Thanks, Z, for another thought-provoking post.

Being happy does indeed rock!

I love the quote you gave us in this message. I have added it to my google calendar, so I can be reminded about happiness a couple of times each day.

Listening to Pharrell Williams’ ‘Happy’ song brings me immediately into a space of happiness…the song is upbeat and asks us to “clap along if happiness is your ‘truth’.” I know it’s my truth when I hear that song, and find myself singing it to myself throughout the day.

What I love most about it is that it’s from a childrens movie, which means kids are being exposed to the concept of happiness as a healthy, positive way to feel!

Bountiful Blessings,
Kat

There was a recent Tiny Buddha post that I really like. It’s titled “How to Wake up Every Morning on Top of the World.” Written by Srinivas Rao. It’s all about setting up your day as soon as you awake. Srinivas says that whether we say it out loud or to ourselves or not – we are asking ourselves questions – such as “Why didn’t I go to bed earlier?” “What am I going to eat?” Stuff like that.

Instead, we should be asking quesitons such as these as soon as we wake up:

“What do I have to look forward to today?”
“What’s absolutely perfect about my life?”
“How can I make today absolutely awesome?”
“What’s the best thing that could happen today?”

I believe -by using questions such as these first thing in the morning and then using the Magic 5 at night will Rock my Day!

Thanks, Z!
