Choose Happiness

Posted on by

Blessings. We resume.

It may surprise you, but YOU choose the state of your own happiness—always! Happiness is your choice. Many do not grasp or understand this—looking rather to BLAME others or circumstances for their state of unhappiness.

The choice is ALWAYS yours. You do not want to acknowledge this, for that would mean that YOU are responsible for your emotional state. There would be no one to blame.

Why did you choose the emotion or feeling you are experiencing now?

Can you answer the question without placing any blame? Difficult. You would like to think your emotions/feelings were CAUSED by something or someone outside yourself, when in reality as you say, you have CHOSEN that feeling. Yes, it was your response to something outside yourself that occurred, however, you had a RANGE of responses you could have chosen rather than the one you are now feeling.

You have the freedom—the free will—to choose everything in life, including your feelings. But you have been “responding” for so long thinking another has caused them (feelings) that you have forgotten the great freedom you have. 

Why do you choose unhappiness when JOY is yours. Anger over peace? Worry over trust?

Do not allow others or situations dictate what or how you feel. You are free to choose. And each choice makes up your life.

Choose happiness. Choose hope in the midst of fear, and peace in the midst of chaos. Simply make the CHOICE and then you are FREE.

Guidance From Yusef: Freedom to Choose

Posted on by

Note: Yusef has many words for God, but one that I find myself using lately is “Godness.” To me it indicates the ALL that is God, and it removes the sense of gender so common to us. Universe, Source, Father, The Divine, ALL, Godness. Chose whatever term you are comfortable with as you read. 🙂

And for the first time in a long time Yusef offers us what he refers to as “Knowings.” These are short declarations of truth.

YUSEF:

There is a freedom in the “Godness,” as you say, that allows each person to experience what it chooses—to expand and grow based on the choices it makes.

Growing is not an option. All is growth/expansion, or it withers and dies. Thus the direction of growth has a thrust or determination based on the choices made.

We have spoken of choices and their importance. Perhaps it becoming clearer now.

KNOWINGS:

All are a part of ALL. There can be no other.

There is freedom in the ALLNESS [God].

All [God] continues to expand/grow/evolve.

As in all life, the rate of growth is flexible.

Freedom allows choice. Choice is the only way ALL [God] can experience the diversity of expression.

Vibration of the light within each one reflects the choices they have made.

Guidance From Yusef: We have Control

Posted on by

Yusuf speaks today of the power we have over our own lives. It is the conscious choices that we make each day that determine the direction of our lives.

But it is so easy to lose sight of that power and give over our choices and control to others, or to fear, or to the rules that others impose on us. It can be as simple as recognizing that in every moment of the day we are given the choice in how we respond–to the wonderful things, as well as the difficult things. And it’s in our choices and our responses that our life unfolds.

Do we choose to find fault, to blame, to follow rules that no longer apply, or to fear differences, for example? Or do we choose to accept what life brings and see all as opportunity from God to accomplish the purpose for which we came–to become our best selves?

YUSEF:

All the small things that consume your mind–the worries, the concerns, the plans–are distractions.

You have total control over your daily life, and I say YOUR life because it is the only one you can affect. At the same time most have abdicated that control to others or to the rules of family, society, culture or religion that you have chosen to follow. You have replaced control over your life with distractions and fears that often control you.

Become more aware that you do have control. It has always been yours to make the choices that direct your life. You need not hand over this control to others in your life, or the rules you follow, or the ego’s distractions.

You are capable of each movement, each choice in your life. You carry your purpose and truth within you. Your Spirit/Soul can see the way clearly.

It is the integration of your Spirit/Soul with the essence of your physical human nature, that assures control of your life on the Earth.

We are with you.

Guidance From Yusef: Purpose and Choice

Posted on by

Each of us has chosen this critical time in history to be born into the world.  We have an opportunity and responsibility to achieve our own Soul’s purpose, but we also have a special opportunity to help move our world from chaos to peace. It all depends on the choices we make each moment. It’s all about our choices…. And it’s nice to know that there are no “wrong” choices.  Takes the pressure off a little!  (I’ll bet you might have a question or two about that last idea!)

YUSEF:

Awareness is helpful and would be important to cultivate.  The power of the Universe is in each one.  Know this without doubt.  Do not resist this idea or try to understand or make sense of it.  Interactivity, not interdependence, is a key idea.  All paths interact, some at closer proximity.

It is not important that each knows the details of the choices made.  It is important that the choices have charted a path and each choice made creates the path set out.  Wilderness hikers experience this as each step moves them forward toward an unseen destination, each step creating a new energy in its interactions with the environment.

Each choice leads to the next.  What most do not yet realize is that there is light provided to determine the way.  Most are not aware of it.  There are many ways to see the light—all do not have the same experiences.

Any step taken becomes the “right” step.  There is no right or wrong.  Let go of the idea of “right and wrong”.  Options are presented which are accepted or not.  [But] when the step, or choice made, and it is congruent [aligned] with the STATE* of the person, then all is advantage and growth.  The state of the person, then, becomes a contributing factor to the growth, or evolution, experienced as a result of the choice.

(*The state of a person involves beliefs, ideals, values, principles, etc.  When the choices we make align with our beliefs and principles, then Yusef tells us there is opportunity for growth and living out our purpose.)
