Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length. - Robert Frost

Happiness is that brief sigh of a moment that delivers a glow of peace and serenity. Happiness is that tiny point of a feeling in our chest that radiates itself a million times throughout our being. Happiness is that "pause" that refreshes our spirit.

 Don't knock the brevity of happiness. Rejoice in its existence.

Having enough means that somewhere deep inside of us we have an awareness of the abundance around us. Enough stems from an awareness of valuing what we have. It does not focus on what we don't have. Having enough is knowing that we ourselves are enough and

we can live well with what we have each moment of our lives.

Life is meant to be lived from a Center . . . There is a divine Abyss within us all, a holy Infinite Center, a Heart, a Life who speaks in us and through us to the world. We have all heard this holy Whisper at times. At times we have followed the Whisper, an amazing equilibrium of life, amazing effectiveness of living set in.

But too many of us have heeded the Voice only at times . . . We have not counted this Holy Thing within us to be the most precious thing in the world.

- Thomas R. Kelly

We can live in balance only when we are committed to listening to the whisper of this "Holy Thing" within us. Let it guide you.

A busy mind is like a blindfold, keeping the sights and sounds of the world from penetrating your awareness. When you're distracted, you miss the opportunities

 to enjoy the sweetness of your surroundings - and yourself.

Stop, breathe, notice the moment you are in, and experience joy.

What will happen as we grow into our spiritual magnitude? In each of our lives, it will look different. Every moment holds infinite possibilities, and how much magnificence we allow to move into us and through us is determined by our willingness and receptivity. To whatever extent the blocks are removed to the awareness of our divine nature, that is how much we are magnetized to the events and situations - and they are magnetized to us -

that resonate with our grandeur.

From 'A Course In Miracles', "Infinite patience produces immediate results."

It sounds like a paradox. Infinite patience implies an absolute certainty that what you'd like to manifest will indeed show up, in perfect order, and exactly on time.

Walt Whitman wrote, "To me, every cubic inch of space is a miracle."

Should you decide to have a mind that's open to everything, then you'll act upon that inner energy, and you'll be the creator as well as the recipient of miracles wherever you are.

Awakened doing is the alignment of your outer purpose - what you do - with your inner purpose - awakening and staying awake. Through awakened doing, you become one with the outgoing purpose of the Universe. Consciousness flows through you into this world. It flows into your thoughts and inspires them. It flows into what you do and guides and empowers it.

The peace you create within yourself has a residual effect on everyone you come into contact with. It vibrates through the web (how we are connected to others in the Universe),

 inspiring peace in other people and other places.

Who we choose to be from this moment onward will affect the world.

Each thought that develops into a helping, purposeful, loving act is your contribution. If harmony and peace reside because that is how you have chosen to think, then that is what you have to give away. In that moment you have made a difference.

You have manifested a miracle into the world.

For where your treasure is, there  will your heart be also. (Matt. 6:21).

Our wishes for the future, our hopes, our dreams, and our aspirations are our truest treasures.  Guard yours in the sanctuary of your heart.  We must remember that the greatest secret to living a happy and fulfulled life is the realization that everything is created in our minds before it manifests itself in the outer world.

When we're rooted in the present, we know our part in the scheme of things;

we sense our oneness, feel the flow of spirit up the spine and down,

into the heart and out. We feel the grace of awareness,

the presence of the other, the calling of the many to whom we are connected.

- Jan Phillips, "Divining the Body"

Something wonderful begins to happen with the simple realization that life,

like an automobile, is driven from the inside out, not the other way around.

As you focus on becoming more peaceful with where you are,

rather than focusing on where you think you should be,

you begin to find peace right now, in the present.

Vow to seek a calm inner response to the circumstances of your life. In the midst of any kind of unrest, make the immediate decision that you will find the calm center of yourself.

You have the innate ability to choose calmness in the face of any situation.

Stay in touch with your root.
