Be Happy!

You may or you may not remember that uplifting song released way back in 1988 by a guy named Bobby McFerrin? It was called, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”. One couldn’t help but feel good when you heard it, either hearing it on the radio driving from “here to there”.

Spelling out the word “Happy” and see if we can find a deeper meaning within this letter of “H” which stands for might very well stand for Harmony. Is our life in balance? Is what we believe what we do? It’s hard to be happy if the things we believe in are different than the things we actually do.

Then there is that letter, “A”, perhaps just a thought it may very well stand for Appreciation.  Are we aware of the good things in our life including the things that keep us awake at night? Are we thankful for our blessings? When thinking of the letter “P”, for there lays Purpose.

I have always believed with a capital "B" that goals give us that drive, that motivation to set our goals and aid us. Forward we go overcoming what we so often we come to see as limitations but really are there such a thing as limits? “P” is for Participation. Are we a major player in our own life? Do we share the give and take and ups and downs of life with those closest to us? I would suppose within the human condition we do as best as we can pending the moments within life, which lead me to the letter, “Y” which stands for Yearn.

Are we still pushing ourselves to make our dreams come true, regardless of age? As we say welcome autumn, it’s good to keep in mind that we are the only ones who can make ourselves happy. No one person knows it all nor is life full of an array of things however:

The only way to Predict our Future is by way of Creating it.
