Sometimes when I am
teaching or taking a dance class, my mind starts to focus on upsetting
things. If there was something I could have done about these unsettling
mirages my mind makes up, I would have already remedied them. Mostly it’s
fretting about situations I can’t control. What then upsets me is that I have
only gone through the motions of the song without enjoying it – without fully
experiencing it. And then it’s gone. I have missed that particular
oasis-moment of happiness. That moment won’t come again.
This
reminds me that when I have an opportunity to be joyful, I have to be
in it.
Sometimes I
feel joy, but then the dark thought of “what comes next” interferes,
dampening my happiness.
From
now on, my mantra is “I am happy” – full stop. NOT “I am happy but.”
Better yet, “I am
happy AND…” because further goodness
awaits me. The more I feel joy, the more I will experience every day. The
more I am optimistic that love always prevails, the more I will see that
happening. I believe this.
Be
in your joy, Right now.
As always, sending
much joy and love to all of you.
