Are you smiling yet?

True happiness comes from being alive and no special circumstances are required for your happiness in a true state of bliss. This is the state of allowing, and is written about in this new age medium more times that we can mention. Obviously this task is something that will require a bit of work but no actions will be able to help you. This is an inward journey of forgiveness and honesty which is only achieved when you show yourself the compassion that you deserve. In my case it was not until I shifted my mental direction that I could accomplish this.

Imagine yourself on a winding road full of road blocks obstacles and traps.  If you look ahead you see no way to get across those obstacles. The road blocks are too high to climb, the obstacles are immovable and the traps are hidden well and are seemingly everywhere. There is no way to go forward, right? Did you think to turn around yet? There is nothing that blocks your journey in that direction because that path leads with-in; walking that path and you will eventually come to that same path full of all the challenges life has to offer. Except this time your simply walk right over it as your size and strength has increased a billion fold and those obstacles are  nothing more than a tickle on your proverbial foot of life.  This is the state of allowing!

Allowing is a term used to describe the mind set for blessings to be abundant in your life. It is easier to go with the current and allow nature to take you to your destination rather than fight against the current which leads you nowhere but to more struggles.  This is the eternal metaphor of life; you can easily allow everything you want in your life by going with the flow. As you are in charge of your own specific Universe and can control the way in which you live.

This is a choice and whether you accept this or not, “It Is”. Try this simple experiment; loose all your worries for one day, make a list of everything you are grateful for and take a vacation from negativity. See what that brings you, and then after this experiment is implemented in your life try it again for a week and then a month and eventually it will become effortless. Every journey always starts with one step, are you willing to take that step today?
