Desire vrs Happiness ... Do You Know the Difference?
When you Desire something, is your Joy based upon that desire?
Is your belief of happiness based on the things you think you need that will make you happy?
Does getting what you desire rule your sense of well being and inner contentment?
"I'd be happy if .... " "I'll be happy when .... "
Once you get what you desire, your focus is once more switched and on to the next object it desires that will theoretically make it happy. If what you desire is taken away, then you can become sad or even miserable, losing your balance and inner peace, feeling depressed until the next *fix* comes along.
Desires are not a good measurement for happiness, joy or feeling content.
Desires bring momentary joy but should never be responsible for building your foundation of happiness, for what is given can be easily taken away and happiness deserves a much greater foundation.
Happiness deserves a foundation built upon itself, dependent only upon itself.
Happiness begins within you.
No objects.
No other person.
No desires.
Only a self made inner peace built on self love, confidence and being in love with life.
It is strictly an inside job. Anything else is only a temporary illusion that will disappear should the illusion ever fails or disappoint you.
Everything you need is within yourself.
Take time to find it and in the process, you will discover a stronger, happier and healthier you.
Maybe it's time to practice 'Self-Forgiveness' and embrace the power of 'Self-Love.'
Mistakes are bound to happen on our journey's through life. It's inevitable and a part of our learning process from the time we take our first misstep learning to walk, fall and skin our knees.
As we grow older, sometimes we make bigger mistakes. Sometimes we take risks that don't pay off. Sometimes we choose partners that are bad for us, or sometimes we are even bad to or for other people. There are countless ways filled with dishonesty & deceit, large and small misjudgments, insecurities, gossip, grudges, resentments, anger, betrayal and plain old fashion honest mistakes that can be made.
And now, perhaps it's time you forgive whatever your mistakes are.
Let go of the guilt or burden your mistakes may carry within you. Let go of any self-abusive behavior or ways you may be punishing yourself for making mistakes. It doesn't matter how BIG or how small the mistake may be, every mistake is forgivable if you are TRULY Sorry. Everyone makes mistakes and feeling regret is normal.
What is of most importance, however, is how you handle your mistakes.
Forgive them. Step up to the plate and OWN them so you can correct your choices or behavior, then let them go. Rather than spend your time feeling guilty, which will only pull you down, switch your focus to your positive attributes, allowing your self esteem to pick itself up and giving your stress levels an opportunity to drop.
Guilt is the opposite of love. Your guilt will not help anyone or anything, but your Divine Love will help everyone, everywhere!
Should you find yourself needing guidance past a mistake or having questions about a situation in your life you don't understand,
Do you feel the need to be rescued or like you need to rescue someone (or others)?
Do you feel like you can't get where you need to be or where you want to go in life without someone helping you or carving out the path for you? Do you chronically have the need or desire to step in and take care of someone? Or, are you waiting for someone to sweep you off your feet, carry you away (or be with you) to live forever and ever in mad passionate love with a bottomless bank account and an idle life paved with love, success and prosperity?
And THEN everything in your life would be ok? And THEN you would be successful? And THEN you would be happy?
And Then, and THEN, and THEN ....
And THEN, do you REALLY believe that?
Could it be you rely too much on others to give you answers or do things for you so that you don't have to look within or learn to trust yourself? Could it be that you rely too much on others to make you feel better about yourself? Or could it be that you jump into battle to take care of others so you can avoid major parts of taking care of you?
You CAN have the fairytale, but NOT without working on yourself and your own issues FIRST so that your life has a comfortable sense of balance and is anxiety, need(y), fearful, low self esteem, and/or control issue free. If Prince Charming or Princess Charming sweeps you off your feet to rescue and set you up in an idle life of love, success and prosperity, how long do you think that's going to last before the issues that kept you stuck on your own crop up? That's not even mentioning Prince & Princess' Charming's possible control issues and the lack of balance needing to rescue can bring up.
While the feeling of being rescued can be an awesome fantasy, it's important to remember that fantasy's seldom last beyond the honeymoon stage if both people aren't working on themselves as individuals. If you don't deal with any insecurities, fears, or emotional issues that are anchored within you, they can create unwelcome baggage in all your relationships.
Getting advice from trusted or reliable sources can be helpful or confusing. Make sure to take the time to sift through that advice so you can see what actually fits and doesn't fit your situation. If you're being told what you want to hear, how helpful is that? It's more like advice for the ego rather than healing of the soul. If you're afraid of what you'll hear how open is your heart to the truth and having a healthy relationship? What are you hiding from? Is denial keeping you company? At times your fears can create deeper wounds than are necessary and block you from the happiness, love and success you deserve.
Take the time to learn how to find balance in your life so you can enjoy everything good life has to offer. Everyone deserves a fairytale.
First you have to learn how to rescue yourself.

I've been trying to decide what my next message would be and the Angels decided it for me. I've had the Beatles song, "All You Need is Love" playing in my head for weeks. Since my life has been extremely busy, I was just a little slow picking up on the obvious theme for the Valentines Fairie message until they began BLARING that song in my sleep and waking me with it.♫"Love, Love, Love ... Love is all you need ...♫"
Valentines Day seems to have become a Love-Hate adventure in so many peoples lives. It's become an unnecessary emotional war. I feel like the whole point of the day is being missed out on and I'm wondering how such massively smart people have ended up being sheep to the media.
Do you remember when you were a little kid? Was Valentines REALLY about having a boyfriend or a girlfriend? Because if it was I want to smack your teacher or who ever let you believe that! While the creation of Valentine's Day was about intimate love, Valentine's has NEVER been limited to Romantic love and you do NOT need a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a husband, wife, a significant other or same sex partner to make today special.
Today IS Special because it is about LOVE. Love. The Universal language that united the WORLD, Friends, Family and Strangers.
It is this wonderful, happy day about LOVE. Being Kind. Giving. Sharing. Being Happy. Being at PEACE withint yourself and in the lives of others.
Don't make it about having somebody love you, it's about how you can SHOW YOUR LOVE. Stop trying to count who's giving Valentines to You and get out there and GIVE.
Give Joy, Give Happiness, Give LOVE.
Share with a stranger (simply by smiling and saying "Have a Happy Day!"), share with your friends, family and someone you've been holding a grudge against. Let today be Little Kid FUN.
It's an awesome day and ONLY limited by your self pity, if that's what you're choosing. Today is all about what you've chosen to do with your brain for the entire length of the day. Are you going to be Happy and enjoy the day for everything fun and special there is, or are you going to pull the covers over your head and have a little pity party? The choice is yours!
Truly, if you have to choose between self pity and having fun, 'what ya gonna choose?'
If you look at Valentines with *Healthy Eyes* rather than sheep-like, media tainted eyes, you will see that Valentines is truly a selfless day to appreciate LOVE. You don't have to spend a cent to take a little extra time and tell someone "I Love You" "Thank You" "You're Awesome" "Happy Valentines Day" Ride the Love Wave rather than drown yourself in sorrow over what you feel is missing in your life.
Today is about FUN and all the ways you can create fun in it!
There are so many layers and levels of Love and life is not ALL about Romantic Love. Don't limit the ways and opportunity's you have to enjoy today and please, above all, don't limit the spreading and sharing of LOVE. Make it an EVERYDAY thing, not just a Valentines Day thing.
Pick up some cupcakes and hand them out to friends ~ or just let them know you think they're awesome!
Have a fun filled day today. Simply because it's your choice and you can!
Happy Valentines Day!!
♫ Love, Love, Love ...
