Of late my positive polly crown has been a little crooked. Sure I use humour to lighten the mood here and there, but thats just a smoke screen; a ruse to disguise how I'm really feeling; albeit a poor excuse of such. In addition to my crooked crown, my face has been adorned with a crooked smile, or more to the point a 'smirk'; yes even the mask I usually wear to disguise the truth is not polishing up so well. In other words, I have been a negative nelly and the things that would usually not get to me, or that I would just easily roll with; you know, like water off a ducks back, has really been ruffling my feathers.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you can't keep it real. Hell, I'm a big advocate of not shitting in someone's back pocket, or my own for that matter. Plus, I believe that you've gotta meet the dark to truly know the light, you know the duality of life! In addition to that, there's a saying that goes along the lines of "too much of anything isn't good for anyone", whichs aligns with Chinese medicines philosophy of too much of one emotion causes imbalance which in turn leads to dis-ease; therefore, balance is the key to achieving and maintaining optimum health.
So, what I am trying to say in my totally long winded arse about way, is this...
Even though my life situation at present is not picture perfect, I would rather count my blessings and be thankful for each and every one of them, than to focus on my problems and allow them to darken, depress and destroy me. Happiness and Positivity is quite simply a choice....you either choose 'to be' or choose 'not to be'!
Given that this is something I am deeply passionate about, why the frig have I been such a sad sack for so long!?! Regardless of the current imperfections and the dysfunction within my life I CHOOSE to be happy!
Now, as much as I would love for it to be a case of, 'I have said it and so it shall be'! Truth is, whilst happiness is indeed a way of life and not a destination, you still need to work at it.
So, I ask!
What do I need to do in my life RIGHT NOW in order to be HAPPY on all levels, and as such ALIGNED WITH MY SOUL PURPOSE?
As I have spoken of in previous blogs where I've listed my happiness goals (Here & Here), all levels refers to mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and essential needs; my overall WELLBEING!
