There's Soul Happiness In Misery
"In the heart of misery, soul happiness whispers its truth: without the darkness, you'd never see how beautiful the light really is" - CJB
There's Soul Happiness In Misery:
Hello, it's me, CJB! 🌈
Life has a way of piling on the challenges, doesn't it? Sometimes, it feels like you're in a storm that just won't pass. You brace for the next wave, hoping for a break, for that happiness you've been chasing to finally catch up. But what if it doesn't? What if life keeps getting tougher, and the happiness you seek seems like a distant, unreachable star? Are you doomed to a lifetime of misery?
Spoiler alert—NO! (Sorry, I just couldn't leave you hanging in negativity too long!!)
Okay, let's dive into the whirlpool of questions your mind is spinning up, because here, at the decision point, we swim to the the truth about happiness and love.
When Life Gets Tougher and Tougher:
When the going gets tough, the tough get... 😳 well, creative!
Here's what you can do:
🌈 Reframe Your Perspective: Maybe happiness isn't about the absence of problems but how you deal with them. Think of each challenge as a chance to grow, to learn, to become more resilient.
🌈 Connect with Your Soul: In the midst of chaos, your soul can be your sanctuary. Connect with what truly matters to you, beyond the material or the immediate. This connection can be through meditation, art, nature, or even through the act of helping others.
What If The Happiness You Want Never Comes?
I am not being pessimistic—I am being real. This is where we often get stuck, waiting for happiness to arrive like a package we've ordered. But what if it's already here, just not in the form we expected?
Here's a few mindset points to help you see the happiness that you've probably been overlooking:
🌈 Redefine Happiness: Perhaps the happiness we seek is not about winning the lottery of life but about finding peace within ourselves. It's about both a realistic and spiritual soul happiness—the kind that persists even in the face of adversity—because of adversity!
Do You Want to Be Unhappy for the Rest of Your Days?
This is a profound statement! Seriously do not skip past this and rush off to your next X or Instagram post.
This question awakens you to the reality that something in your human-animal mind is telling you a lie. Happiness is not something you wait for. It is not based on one or more "perfect moments" alone. It is like a cacophony of sounds that when listened to with the soul, actually sounds like a philharmonic orchestra!
So please pay attention when I say:
🌈 Embrace the Misery: Here's the kicker: there's soul happiness in misery. How? Because through pain, we often find our deepest strengths, our most profound connections, and our truest loves. Misery can be a teacher, showing us what truly matters. How would you know the wonders of light if you never had dark times?
The Decision Point and Truth About Happiness and Love:
At this crossroads, you make a choice:
❤️ Understand That Everything Is Love: Remember, "EVERYTHING" is connected by love. Even your toughest moments are part of this love story, pushing you towards growth, towards awakening your soul.
❤️ Awaken Today: Don't wait for conditions to be perfect for happiness. Awaken to the love and happiness that can exist right now, in this moment, despite or because of your struggles.
Final words...
Whenever you face times when life seems to offer more misery than joy, remember, soul happiness isn't about avoiding the dark but about finding the light within it—or shining some on it! It's about realizing that even in your darkest moments, there's an opportunity to love, to grow, to find a deeper, more meaningful happiness. Artistic souls know all this!
You are not alone in this journey. We're all in this together, learning to dance with life's challenges while holding onto the truth that love, in all its forms, is the ultimate guide to soul happiness.
Stay loving, stay creative, and most importantly, LOVE—EVERYTHING—TODAY!
CJB ♥️
