Happiness is the ultimate goal. All of us want to be happy; it’s our first search in this life. However, do we really know what being happy is?
Many of us think happiness is being content and satisfied with events present in our lives, like getting a new car, obtaining a new job or a promotion, falling in love, or traveling to a new place. But, the effects of these experiences pass and we keep looking for that elusive state.
Over the years and practicing my spiritual instruction, I have discovered that happiness is not a passing state or an illusion; it’s really a permanent state of fulfillment. Happiness for me is waking up every morning rested, it’s hearing the birds singing, it’s admiring the green beauty of my little garden, it’s enjoying a nice cup of coffee, it’s the simple things in life.
What I am trying to say is that my state of being is constantly a happy one and the best part of this is that everywhere I go I radiate my state of fulfillment to others around. I go to buy groceries, for example, and I get an extra apple for free, because I have been smiling and happily chatting to the cashier. Or somebody offers me their full bottle of mineral water in a restaurant before leaving. Or people just smile at me and talk to me.
It wasn’t like this before. I used to be a bit moody and bad tempered. However, by practicing meditation and spiritual exercises, little by little, my mood changed and my way of “being” changed, so much so that it caught my family’’ attention and they encouraged me to keep going, to keep practicing. I myself was amazed at my new way of enjoying my very own existence in this physical plane.
What about bad days, you may be wondering? Well, of course they appear from time to time, however they don’t last for long and if they do, I go deep into myself and quickly find my peace again.
Spirituality has given me the tools to achieve calmness, balance and inspiration to live my life like the happy energy being that I am. Happiness is a choice, and you can be happy, too.
Many times before I have said that our major proof is our own experience. Happiness is in my experience, not as a passing asset, but as a permanent one.
Go and make the necessary changes to allow happiness into your life.

I am a self-taught artist who picked up my first brush in lockdown, August 2020. I just felt an instant peace as I brushed the paint in different directions. I have taken elements of my life and principles and applied them to acrylics on canvas.
The frequency of Love controls all the high frequency feelings. We could say that Love is the mother-father of all high frequency feelings. When we are connected to the love vibration coming from Source, we can co-create the manifestation of such perfection in the physical field.
During this lockdown time when going out for a walk, I have observed that we participate in some sort of “avoiding dance”. Waiting for people to pass, crossing the street, walking on the street, lining up on the sidewalk, is a way of walking that we never experience before. However, this dance has an energetic feeling, it feels a little bit out of place, but at the same time it feels good to know that people actually care about others, although there is a bit of sadness and fear in the air. I try to smile at people from the distance and say thank you when someone stops to allow us to pass. Smiling and gratitude are high vibration feelings that take us far.
Our brain is always active and it is certainly a good idea to nourish it. We can maximise its potential with simple practices.
Many countries in the world have been going through lockdown and quarantine. In some places this has been the norm for almost a year now. During this period, I have been reflecting on the good and bad things about it.
To believe that things that happen to us come from outside, alien to our intervention, shows how easily we fall into a comfortable area of thinking that we are powerless against those circumstances.
Fear and love are opposites because when we live in fear we are not loving — and when we don’t love, the word hate comes into play. Why do people hate something? Because they feel fear. Therefore, to really experience love, we have to erase the fears that right now are controlling our life. How? By having the courage to tackle them, one by one, until they disappear.
