Now this is a very good question given the time of transition we are all in…how much happiness can you stand? Really? I found this article in Laura Bruno’s blog today and thought this was worth sharing with you. Being humans, we all want to be happy…but then find ways of being that eventually destroy that happiness. Think about it! When were you really happy and how did it last?
During this time of personal transition, we are learning to find and navigate the waters of 5D finding and developing the sense of being happy…or at least, that is what is happening for me. The following article is well worth thinking about, but puts a big damper on my climb into 5D and that is because this article focuses on humans losing happiness because we are, well…3D humans.
In my opinion, once I reach and remain in5D, my 3D human characteristics will subside meaning that the joyous vigor I feel will remain with me…not wander off due to my insecurity. What do you think? Please read this article (pardon some of the language), imagine how it would feel to be permanently happy, and…
Enjoy!
How much happiness can you take? In the world of self-improvement and therapy, the focus is on defeating unhelpful thoughts, living mindfully, and creating goals. Overcoming obstacles and facing fears is paramount in this new self-improvement age. There is a problem though, one that I struggle with. How do I cope with happiness? No one tells you how to navigate your life when things are going well. It’s simply a given that happiness shouldn’t be trigger. But it is. Falling in love is a trigger. Succeeding in a career is a trigger. Losing weight is a trigger. What the fuck is so triggering about that you ask? Nothing in life is more unpredictable than happiness. No one tells you that love is quiet, career is not an identity, or losing weight will give you more degrading attention than emotional appreciation from other people.
The amount of unpredictability I can tolerate is in direct correlation to the amount of happiness I’m willing to experience. Breaks down like this. When something good happens, let’s say I fall in love, I soon begin to demand that it become predictable. Sustainable. Promised devotion. I turn from my strongest attribute of intuition and emotion and try to make a logical, lawyer like, contract to make it locked in. In other cases, some people who are normally logical flip their mark and start making emotional decisions. Because happiness is so unrelenting with it’s need of constant hunger, other emotions soon follow suite. Focus turns into a complete lack of attention and anxiety ensues. Control turns into unchecked anger about the things beyond your control. Empowerment turns into helplessness or guilt. Energy fades and turns into depression. Sadness becomes familiar. Happiness is something we can’t script. The truth is discipline equals freedom and happiness involves risk.
So how much happiness can you take? How much can you stand? To witness this is in myself heartbreaking. Not going to college because I convinced myself that I was an artist at the time and wanted freedom. The times that I did fall in love, I either ran or suffocated the hell out of it. I decided to be alone or invest time with someone who I knew I would never have a future with. Simple. Not falling in love is predictable. Problem was, the relationship I was leaving was actually perfect. Happy. Running from careers because I didn’t want to loose my identity. So fucking stupid.
We’ve all been there. Continually testing a relationship (or anything else) for reassurance, envisioning a fantasy and dying when the fantasy does not survive the tests given. Not trusting our own happiness when it isn’t mapped to our fantasy of happiness or worse, subscribing to the fantasy despite the person in front of you for the sole reason of an ego boost or identity. I’m now willing to let go of the need to foretell my passion’s map.
My question is an invitation for you to tell us about something you’re sabotaging the potential of right now.
The quiet question to answer for yourself is this:
How much happiness are you willing to take before you jeopardize it for a sense of control?
Go.
