On Happiness

[Little bit of actual journalling from yesterday] - this is about not holding on to happiness.

To be this happy this much of the time and to want to hold on.

To see it as them making me happy, when it’s me pulling the happy in.

Something I will always be able to do.

Something that’ll always be out there for me.

It’s the ultimate assurance that happiness will always return to you, if you can have happiness and let it go.

Be willing to release your grip on it.

So when you write your morning gratitudes

don’t just be grateful for what you want more of, even though that is how it works

be grateful and let go of what you’re being grateful for.

Be grateful for the things you may never experience again.

Be grateful without looking to the future.

Greater happinesses await you.
