3 Magic Steps to Practical Happiness

3 Magic Steps to Practical Happiness

Dreams are the seeds of change. Nothing ever grows without a seed and nothing ever changes without a dream.

There is no way we are ever going to chew on any subject in the old way, so straight off the bat, I want to ask you to remove the cobwebs gathered on your heart and listen closely to the subtle, but the distinctive voice of your soul. News flash: the reason you are reading this is that you have allowed and tuned into your inner guidance, and I lovingly encourage you to stick with it, as something magical will be revealed.

1. Reciprocate

I know that you mostly initiate and promote kindness on every level – feeling the benefit of being generous with your time and a genuine offer of your heart. Imagine if you were to go a step further and really notice the good intentions in other people’s kind actions, whether they are directed to you or not. Allow yourself to be moved and acknowledge them. When a graceful nod comes from an unexpected direction, you will not only touch their soul, but you will touch your own soul. I am not talking about reciprocating directly to an act of kindness towards you (surely, no one needs reminders about that!) - but reciprocate when it’s not your turn when it’s nothing to do with you – only the fact that you see and recognise the great gesture by making your own – that will take you deeper into your own capacity to love.

2. Radiate Light

There is no fear that you can ever run out of the love and light source inside you, so do your best until you align with its only purpose. It is available in such abundance that it would be unquestionably easy to naturally want to emanate it in every direction from your soul. Relax – breathe – and shine with the full beam, my friend. It’s safe to give it all because the more you give – the more it grows inside you. You are the being made of love and light. If you try to hold on to it, something very strange happens – and even though you can never change your nature, you distort and suffocate your light, which is painful for you and for every soul connected with you (yes, that would mean the collective of all the souls feels that pain you’re inflicting upon yourself, knowing that you’re the only one that has the power to relieve you of that pain)…. Free your soul to love everything and everyone.

3. Don’t Be Afraid to Kill

Need I remind you that your infinite and only power is over your own life? Yes, you have the choice, and also the duty and the pleasure to identify every part of you that is signed off your control over your happiness to someone or something else. Be willing (at long last) to no longer feed those parts of you and let them die. Annihilate all the thoughts that are sabotaging your capacity to shine your light in all its glory. Be ruthless to that part of you that doesn’t rise to the level where every human being has the same high value. And only stand for those rights.

Understand, and fully embrace, that we are not talking about beginner level happiness. Being a deliberate creator comes with the long-term rewards you have perhaps not experienced before, such as lasting, deeply grounding and uplifting peace, ever-present joy, and transcending light entertainment and mind manipulations that have kept you comfortably numb and conveniently (though not for you) delusional. Want next-level happiness? Be brave to believe that you are ready to take all the responsibility for your happiness today.

1.

Salvage yard research has begun. At this stage is more to gather information, see what’s there and to contemplate ideas. I love what I saw and read about these places. And I have literally just scratched the surface and began to make a file. Together with the vision and the mood board of images (colours and textures), it’s really helping me to imagine it all. I am grateful for the process of having more defined and crystalised goals – as it definitely makes it easier to figure out the steps one needs to take. Of course, the steps remain small and malleable as the ideas are best when they are allowed to remain free and unrestricted (which invites impatience and frustration, or inaction and waiting for the ideal scenario). Loving the process of thinking, visualising and figuring out what can I do to move closer to the intention and the dream - with each day.

2.

Today’s predominant feeling is creative joy. Several different creative processes unfolding in the space of one day is a blissful feeling. Both painting and writing are exciting to me, as well as baking (oh, there was some of that), gardening and sewing prep, too. :D I don’t think I have noted it here, but my son and I have moved my desk so that I now sit facing the garden (rather than the garden being to the left or to the right of me if I sit at the white desk). That has had a huge impact on the amount of light and the connection with the green trees, blossom, new foliage and birdsong just beyond my creative space.

3.

Every now and again I have to stop and pinch myself. It’s a nice feeling to do what you love all day long, and to no longer have to exchange time for a paycheck and literally wait for the day when I can hold my brushes and immerse myself in the creative process of my choosing. With that appreciation, I am happy not having to worry about keeping track of days of the week, as I am grateful and blessed in every single one to be present in each moment and offer my best self to everything I do.
