Happy, or What?

DAY ELEVEN: TAKING STEPS TO HEAVEN

Studying Happiness


Sometimes we are happy.

Sometimes we aren’t.

What if happiness were more or less our birthright, and when we are unhappy, we have a grand and glorious chance to learn just how we take away ourselves from our birthright?
How we throw away our happiness?


So today, make a study: when are you happy?
When are you unhappy?

Notice three things:
1. What kind of thoughts you are having when happy and unhappy.

And:
2. What is going on in your body in times of happiness and times of unhappiness.

And:
3. Are you present when you are happy and are you present when you are unhappy.

Actually, notice four things: when you discover yourself unhappy, do you get more unhappy about this, or do you get curious?
