Be happy for no reason like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you are in trouble because that reason can be taken from you.
Deepak Chopra
How true is that?
The answer to all our earthly problems may lay in this wisdom. If we could only remember what it was like to be a child and follow suit.
Do you remember what it was like:
- To be happy for no reason? To giggle and laugh at everything? To just be so content wherever you were?
- To see the world through those eyes when everything was worthy of your attention...fascinating...beautiful...amazing?
- To be so completely in the moment...never worrying about what tomorrow may bring or what happened yesterday....to just be enthralled by the now of your life?
- To be in a mind that was so simple and uncomplicated by ego things like needing more to be worthy, what others might think of you, recognition for successes, money?
- To be attached to nothing for long?
- To be faithful and trusting without doubt?
- To be so willing to have fun?
- To love so completely and unconditionally?
- To be so honest and open...so free of masks, costumes and performances?
- To be so close to where you came from...so close to the source of all life?
- To be so real, honest and authentic?
- To be so simply?
If we want to be truly enlightened we do not need more knowledge...we need less. We do not need to do more...we need to do less. We do not need to complicate...we need to simplify. We need to be less adult like...and more child like.
We need to be happy for no reason. The reasons we attach our happiness to as adults...are not real and will not last...but who we were as children still exists within ...and we just need to tap into that joy that is and always will be there. Remember what it was like to be a child and go there once again.
All is well in my world.
