Consciously, this song permeates through your eyes. Your mind sings out loud as if you know all the workings to this song. You are transformed and your life has been changed. In whatever moment you are in, you are now under the influence of four words. These four words changes your perception and you become inspired. It may be tiny but it may move mountains.

You hear the whistling of the tune. The corners of your mouth begin to reach for your ears and your eyes glisten as if the sun just breached past the clouds in a glorious victory over darkness. You wander for an instance, captivated by its brilliance. You are Happy.

Simple and true, that is all.

Don’t Worry, Be Happy. Worry is one measure of your state-of-being. The act of worrying is to fear for something that has not yet occurred. Isn’t that odd? If it did not happen why be afraid? If it did not happen wouldn’t that mean you have a choice to change and prevent it from happening? If it’s un-preventable and it is going to happen could you not accept it and not be worried? Your state-of-being is in fear when you worry. We are constantly moving towards and away from life and to worry is to be afraid, which is to move away from life.

We have in every breathe a chance to make ourselves come alive. If we want to live happy, if we want to live inspired, we have to be it.

So the question is, how do we Be Happy?

It starts with your thoughts. Become aware, know, and accept happiness. Ask yourselves questions and develop answers for yourself. What is happiness to me? How can I find happiness in the things I do? What can I do to be happy? The ability to consciously affect the quality of your life is the most under-estimated ability of mankind. Your thoughts are what creates your reality. As Peter Pan has done it, so will you.

Your thoughts are what creates your reality and can be the cause of your actions. What you do and how you do it must reflect your thoughts. These thoughts you create, write down and affirm must come alive with your actions. If you are what you say you are, then do what you say. In this moment, people may trip up and think themselves out of the good, happy, thing they have created for themselves. Remember every act and every thing you do in this world is based upon the principle of faith. To trust in something that you have or have not experienced for hopes of what could be. You are endowed an unlimited amount of faith and you can choose to use it or not. Have faith in your thoughts and your actions will not fail you.

So Think happy and Do happy things. Happy is whatever you paint it as. Take the perceptions that create your reality and artfully unravel a beautiful life. It’s monday and you may be going to work. Your perception might be a mundane monday going to a job full of uselessness and negativity. You are given a choice to take that perception that creates your reality and artfully unravel a beautiful life. If Happy Gilmore can do it, so will you.

There is a question you must address as time unfolds your thoughts into actions. Do you want this to continue in your life? If so, how long? It’s a simple question that people rarely ask, How long do I want to be happy? If your answer is forever or some length of time while you are alive then you must know this: In all things, comes our ability to maintain and adapt. The greatest of things is in its ability to adapt and it’s ability to maintain it’s true form. Happiness can be found in everything and in your journey of thinking it and doing it, this will evoke new ways of being happy. You can continue by adapting the new ways of being happy and maintain your happiness or you can choose not to. Always remember that everything takes 1% of inspiration and 99% perseverance. Lance Armstrong is one man with one inspiration and a whole lot of of perseverance. In fact, the examples are endless because it only takes one thought with the will to never give up.

Now the recipe is in place for you to be happy. Think it, do it, have faith and never give up. But what if…..? …. Don’t worry, be happy.

Wow I’ve never had one in awhile :) The last thing I remember I wanted was a trumpet in 7th grade. I think after that I realized everything I wanted I could get it if I worked hard enough for it. Somewhere along my way someone showed me that you can have whatever you want in life as long as you do the work to have it.

So I stopped asking others to serve me and started fulfilling my wishes through my own actions. That’s interesting in itself. In this time of giving, people ask others “what do you want?” Some people have a list of things, some want nothing at all, some don’t mind what they get as long as they get something, and some don’t mind if they get anything.

Which makes me ask the question, Is there anything that you desire that you can’t produce yourself?

Yes? Or could it be possible that everything you have is a result of a collaboration of what you do and what goes on around you [direct and indirect]? I could say everything I have is a result of my actions and at the same time everything I have is a result of things I did not have control of.

It seems to be apparent that as much as we want to take ownership of things, that the idea of ‘the cause of certain things is solely up to one’s self’, is untrue. You can begin at the inspiration of having or doing something being caused by some other thing other than yourself, interacting with your self.

So why have a wish list? Well it seems at this moment we have this ability to create the reality that we know. And the only way we can be part of that creation is for us to ask for what we desire. We must ‘wish upon a star’, ‘hope for that something’, have a ‘wish list’. It’s our opportunity to participate in what seems to be one giant relationship of all things. Where one thing is because the other exists. In essence, I am because we are. Or I have because we have.

I keep seeing this saying “Be, Do, HAVE”. It’s quite a formula and applies to every desire in life. Create that wish list, be what you desire, do what you desire and you will have what you desire.

While creating this wish list and in deciding to use this formula —> I don’t know about you but I end up writing things that I truly desire. All the superficial, top-of-the-skin, glitter stuff goes away.

There is a simple, small, wish list that everyone in this world desires. I find myself always looking towards unity, harmony, balance. I wonder what would happen if every human being puts out their simple, small wish list once a day? Be, Do, and have. I wonder what the impact of that would be?

The beauty of it all is that what you desire, once acquired you are capable of giving it to others. That’s truly beautiful. Our ability to be inspired, become, and give it others may be one of the greatest gifts of all.

Which brings us to a full circle between where we look for the cause and effect. Where we were once inspired to be, do and have our own wish list. And in turn, inspire others to be, do, and have what we’ve become.

Wish List:

Love
Power
Balance
