Your Joy Comes From Within

"My joy doesn't depend upon the approval of others.
No effective guidance will ever be achieved by seeking the approval of others, for they all desire different things of you.
Constant, pure guidance from Source comes forth from within you. It is always there."

Say No to Fear

Is there really anything worse than fear? I don't think so. Fear is such a horrible emotion, it feels terrible and can really drag you down into the mud emotionally. Fear is like the polar opposite of positive visualization - it, along with worrying, is like negative visualization. It will send you down a road you really don't want to travel.

I have noticed so many using fear in advertising or campaigning to try to negatively motivate. The people that resort to fear, no matter the motive, are trying to manipulate with no regard to our well being or free choice.

One of the greatest things you can do for yourself is to develop your "fear radar" and to tune out anyone who is trying to motivate, control or manipulate you through fear. The greatest way to motivate, empower and inspire others is through a positive message or example.

If you want to improve your life in a big way, take every small step you can to focus on the positive. Be positive whenever you can and to turn the other cheek to fear. Here is a great Abraham-Hicks quote about fear and illness:

"People DO NOT die of illnesses. They die of FEAR of illnesses. The
illnesses literally SCARE them into the disallowance of wellness. And if
they could just find a little piece of something that could give them
just a little breathing room, just a little breathing room, just a
little breathing room- they could breath themselves right back into
wellness, every single time. We are not kidding you- without exception."

"There is no reason for you to ever live less than the radiant, abundant lives that you have come forth to live. But you've got to make the decision that you are going to follow the path of least resistance, or the path of most allowance."

Back again - Ready to go to the next level......

Wow - my little unconditional happiness blog has been on hiatus much longer than I anticipated. Over 16 months since I added a new post. Amazingly, people are still visiting every day.

So, where have I been and why am I back? When I started Unconditional Happiness, I was a widowed single Mom, trying to improve my life, especially my inner life. It worked wonderfully and my life is so different now than it was when I started this blog.

I look back and see that by focusing on unconditional happiness I made all of my dreams come true. I was widowed a few days after my 46th birthday, but my late husband had suffered a stroke 5 years before that and was severely disabled, so I actually lost my husband long before he passed away.

After he died, I thought a lot about what type of relationship I would like to have. I made lists of the type of mate I wanted and the type of relationship I wanted to have. I was crystal clear about what I wanted. Within one moth of deciding that I was ready for a new relationship, THE man of my dreams came into my life. It was love at first sight for both of us. It was like we both instantly recognized that "this is THE ONE". We got married within 6 months and have just recently celebrated our first wedding anniversary. I call him "my perfect man", because he is everything on my list and more, so much more. I tell people it was like I ordered him from a catalog and he showed up as my perfect mate.

Do I believe that I manifested this wonderful relationship? I know I did. It worked for me because I was crystal clear about what I wanted and I really had no resistance to allowing it to enter my life. Our first year has been wonderful and I know it will just get better and better.

Less than two months after we got married, I was thinking one Sunday morning about how badly I wanted for us to buy our own home. We were renting a very nice house, but I wanted to buy a house, that was very important to me. I was sitting outside alone and prayed for the "fastest, easiest way" to buy a house. THAT SAME EVENING our landlord called and said she needed to move back into the house and gave us two months to move out. We ended up buying our beautiful dream house, we got it at a wonderful price and everything just went so easy.

With my dream man and my dream house, that left one dream. The dream of self-employment. I am a Registered Nurse and had a wonderful job, but all I ever wanted to do was to work for myself from home, doing my own thing. About 2 1/2 years ago I started building websites to work towards this goal. I had set a financial target to be able to leave the job and work from home. I ended up leaving the job last month, although I hadn't met my financial targets.

So that is why I am here tonight. I am living my dream life, with my dream man, my dream home and my dream job, but I am allowing myself thoughts way too often that are not going to get me where I want to go. I know from years and years of experience that by concentrating on unconditional happiness, or feeling good, or positive thinking, that I can easily and effortlessly go where I want to go at lightening speed. I also know that is where I want to go now and I want to make it a priority. So what better way to focus on this area of my life again to come back here and focus on "good thinking" and deliberate creation?

One thing that happened as my dreams were coming true that I didn't think would happen to me is that I got "caught up". You know, caught up in the stress, the crap, the less than happy thoughts, stress, etc. I am ready to free myself from getting caught up!!

My dreams have come true. The "Big 3" that I had for so long are here - I am living them! I am so appreciative for that. Now I am ready to go to the next level. I need some new dreams and I intent to recommit to focus on my connection and how I feel. I am making a re-commitment to Unconditional Happiness, because I know IT IS the answer to making my dreams come true!!

What about you? What dreams can the joy of unconditional happiness deliver to your door step? (Mine was dressed up as a tall handsome dreamboat who thinks I am the most wonderful woman to ever walk on the planet.) I guess the bottom line is that I know it is time to turn back inside and allow the spiritual growth that will take me to the next level easily and effortlessly, always remembering the wise words of Abraham "nothing is more important than how I feel". And now that I have written this I FEEL WONDERFUL. Thanks for listening! I'll be back soon.
