Be Happy - or not

Be Happy

Or Not Your choice!

A very simple guide.

A meditation in words and photos

By Todd Vogel

It’s very simple.

(That’s why we find it so hard.)

None of this is new.

Much you already know.

Three statements.

Misery is optional.

Why do we insist on purchasing this add-on when life can be challenging enough as it is?

You can be happy.

Think with your heart.

Unlearn the actions which make you miserable.

You are enough.

Accept this, then you can allow love to enter.

This book has lots of pictures.

Too many words would get in your way.

Chances are, they already do.

Misery is optional. I Life is good.

Not hard.

Doesn’t suck.

Blame is a cornerstone to unhappiness especially blaming yourself

Misery is optional. II Go with the flow.

Stop fighting everything and everyone. (You can’t possibly win.)

Don’t make life complicated.

You know you do.

Take time to enjoy.

Misery is optional. III Entertain the possibility that you can be loved.

Discover who you are when not diverted by anger, hurt or fear.

You can be happy. I What is the matter with you?

Nothing. ...nothing you can’t fix pretty easily.

Anger is not your friend.

Negativity blocks connecting to your inner self, keeps your spirituality hidden in a dark, damp place.

Find the positive - build on it.

A hint: You are the first positive.

You can be happy. II Let go.

Forgive - others and yourself.

Move on, unless you really enjoy being unhappy.

If this applies, you might consider trying a new form of happiness.

Your choice!

You can be happy. III Know that you can be loved.

Find something inside yourself to love and nurture it.

This is the path which will take you to joy.

Take a deep breath.

Eat a piece of fruit.

Turn the page.

You are enough. I It’s that simple.

Don’t complicate it.

When you replace anger with love there is nothing to be afraid of. (including yourself) Your inner self expands exponentially when you feed it.

You are enough. II Letting go is easier than being dragged.

Forgiveness is lighter than resentments.

Which would you carry?

You are moving on.

Faster than you might ever have imagined.

You

are enough. III Your spirituality, in what ever form it appears, will give you strength never imagined.

Knowing you are worthy of love endows an ability to love without conditions or reservations.

The journey begins.
