“There is sunshine in my soul today,
It is glorious and bright . . .

“O there’s sunshine, blessed sunshine,
As the peaceful, happy moments roll;
For I behold the Christ in every face
And there’s sunshine in my soul.”

So go the words of a long-time Unity joy song.

Yes, there is sunshine in your soul today, and all you have to do is tap into it and express it in your life. Let the sunshine radiate out from your smile and bless all whom you meet.

Jesus said, “You will know the Truth and the Truth will make you free.” (John 8:32) He is speaking of that which is eternally true; he is talking about a revelation of the depths within, giving rise to a perception that evokes a spirit of joy. Again, he said, “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” (John 15:11)

One of the great discoveries of human unfoldment is that happiness is not an effect . . . but a cause, and that a person is happy, not because of what did or did not happen, but because he or she is a happy person. Unity minister Eric Butterworth was fond of saying, “Within every person is the unborn possibility of limitless joy . . . and ours is the privilege of giving birth to it.” And it was Charles Fillmore, co-founder of the Unity movement, who said, “Life for every person should be a journey in jubilance.”

Certainly everyone wants to be happy, for it is the “summum bonum of existence.” But we have been deluded into thinking that it is to be found in things, experiences, and relationships. Indeed, that viewpoint is reflected in another sunshine song which goes something like this:

“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine;
You make me happy when skies are gray.
You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you;
Please don’t take my sunshine away.”

A woman who was sick, burdened with financial crises, and troubled with discouragement, ran across these words in a Truth publication: “Until you are happy you will be neither healthy nor free.” “How can I be happy,” she thought, “when I have so much pain and trouble?” The words would not let her be. So she decided to test the idea.

Looking honestly at herself, she found that there were glaring defects in her disposition that needed correction. With effort, she began to live more calmly, to see life more clearly. She found other Truth ideas that suggested that God had implanted the spark of joy within each person, and that she had only to express joy to experience it.

The woman then discovered she could start the spirit of joy by simply “acting as if she were happy.” Now, this “act as if” practice can become a lure into sham and artificiality. It is valid only if it deals with the releasement of an inner power that is constant. You may act as if you are a child, or an expression, of God, for that is what you are. And you may act as if you are happy, for there is a bubbling fire of joy at the heart of you awaiting your commitment to express it.

The woman discovered an amazing thing. As she began to act as if she were happy, she began to feel happy, and the happier she felt, the stronger and healthier she felt . . . and thus the greater became her reasons for happiness. Before long her disposition improved, her affairs harmonized, and she was back in the fullness of life. And it all started the moment she realized that “until you are happy you will be neither healthy nor free.”

There is an important principle involved in this. We live in a world of rhythm and harmony which is limitless in potential, and each of us is limitless in the capacity to demonstrate a personal experience of that limitlessness. But we must become synchronized, and an important key is the bubbling forth of a jubilant spirit.

Begin every day with the insistent affirmation, “This is the day which the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it.” When you start your day in a happy spirit, with joy in your heart and a smile on your face, people respond. You leave a “mile of smiles” as you walk along, and all your business and social contacts are influenced by this contagion. Your day will be a day you can be happy about, because it is a day that you are happy in.

Here are some words from another Unity joy song to adopt as your own:

I let my light shine and the obstacles vanish,
I let my light shine and the light casts out fear,
I let my light shine and the radiance heals me,
I let my light shine and my way is made clear.
Son light is the Truth of my nature,
Son light is God shining through me,
I let my light shine, and my world is illumined,
I let my light shine and the light sets me free!

Remember, God is Blessing You Right Now!

There is an ancient scriptural Truth that should be pasted on the medicine cabinet of every home: “Thou dost keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee.” (Isa. 26:3) This could be altered to read: “Thou dost keep her in perfect health whose mind is stayed on the idea that God is the healing power of nature, that God is ever with her and in her as the limitless healing and sustaining influence.” You see, LIFE is the gift of the infinite to you. You can’t get away from it. It has hold of you and it will never let you go.

Life itself is whole, complete, perfect. Life never gets sick or tired. But you can mobilize and use this gift of life in the way you choose. If you think you are weak and sickly, then that is the way you will draw upon, and use, life. You live in a world of your own making. Much depends upon what you give your mind to think about. Paul said, and I paraphrase, “Whatever is good and pure and lovely, think on these things.” (Phil. 4:8)

It requires a lot of real discipline and self-control to meet the challenges of life with peace and poise and with a positive attitude of mind. But you have no other choice. A healthy mind is essential if you would have a healthy body. It may well be more important what you give your mind for breakfast than what you give your body. Interestingly, I just received an email from fellow Unity ministers Lauren and John Mclaughlin to say that, for the past 90 days, both of them have been experiencing what John calls “opportunities to heal.” They said they accepted many of those opportunities as they worked their way through their challenges.

It’s good to remember that you have a built-in capacity for health and for the healing of the ills that have intruded their way into your system. But you must cooperate with God and also with the physical body. There are certain built-in control mechanisms that determine the needs of the body, either the need for rest or for nutrients. When functioning properly, this mechanism will lead us to desire sleep or this or that good through which the needs may be filled.

It is well to have faith in the innate perfection of the body, perhaps even to declare that the body is the temple of the living God, and then to let the inner spirit guide us in the right and wise use of mind and body. There is a wisdom within that will keep us balanced in wise action, if we believe in it and act upn the belief.

There is probably nothing more effective than the healing therapy of joy. Happiness is something too many people take for granted. Either you are happy or you’re not, and there is nothing you can do about it – so the thinking goes. But there is so much more involved. Joy is an instrument we can learn to play, like the violin or the piano. If we studied happiness and delved into it the way we do the various disease symptoms that are in vogue today, we would have less discontent – and we would find it easy to release the free flow of life.

A happy heart, a cheerful countenance, and a smiling face – all are concomitants of health. We need to have the liberating, harmonizing currents of love and  joy awakened within us. The key is to get the mind lifted up on a new level of consciousness. Start the day with a song – even when you don’t feel much like singing. Make joy your way of life.

Did you ever notice that when a person does something that is relaxing and enjoyable, he or she may say, “Ah, this is the life!” Remember, the potential for abundant life is always within you. You must express it. So, every day of your life, no matter what lies before you, declare with enthusiasm, “AH, THIS IS THE LIFE!” And feel good about it.

Begin every day with a song. Know that the body is the temple of the living God. Give thanks with joy that an Infinite intelligence within you guides you in what you eat, how you exercise, and in the complete and whole expression of life itself.

Remember, God is Blessing You Right Now!

It is within our very nature that we are always longing to excel, to rise higher, to overcome. Most of us never cease to long for a better life, for greater freedom, for more abundance.

This is as it should be, and we can be sure that happiness and all the good things that the earth has to offer can be ours when we affirm them with faith and are persistent in working towards them. If you long for something that will bring fulfillment or betterment into your life, that will make your life richer or more beautiful, then certainly follow your desire. Look for and seize the better possibility.

Every person is endowed with the gifts and the powers to enable him or her to seek for oneself a trouble-free, happy life. Everyone can rise from the worries of experience; everybody can live better. One only needs to realize that in every situation in life there are only two possibilities, a negative one and a positive one. It is very important which possibility we consider and accept.

Should we meet with opposition and hostility, obstacles and adversities, the negative possibility leads only to despair and failure. The positive possibility on the other hand leads to the mastery of life. All we have to do is to choose the best possibility each time, and make use of it.

We always have that choice. There are always two possibilities. One is to search history books and biographies for the elements that brought great persons to success. Such data is often full of minor details that can easily lead one into imitating such people instead of learning to unfold or to develop one’s own powers and abilities to become a real person.

The other, the better possibility, is to get only the essential fundamental principles, to learn from the experiences of these people the success method for the art of living, the insights, the thoughts, the decisions which are helpful not only to them but to all, to know the mind-principles by which they succeeded. Because the implication is, “What God has done, God can do; what man has done, man can do.” And this means you can do too.

You know you can’t walk two roads at the same time. And yet, while walking on the one, you may still be wondering whether you should have taken the other one. Haven’t you had this experience? You make a choice, but yet you keep wondering all the time if it was the right choice, wondering what the other choice would have brought?

We can become free of such inner conflicts when we consider that there are two sides to everything, and that our happiness or unhappiness depends on the side to which we turn our thoughts, our eyes, and our steps. Every situation in life is like a door which offers two possibilities. It is either open or it is closed. If it is open, we can stop in front of it or go through; if it is closed, we can accept it with resignation, or we can knock and open it.

Life always puts before us two possibilities: the poor one is to look for things which are unpleasant, negative, sinister, disarming, and to turn our steps as well as our thoughts despondently in that direction; on the other hand, the better possibility is to look at all that happens for the good, to look for the encouraging, the bright, and the unlimited. This is the road that leads higher, and the one on which things and circumstances will turn out to be sources of happiness.

Eric Kasner once wrote, “If somebody is unhappy, he has two possibilities of change. He may either improve the situation, or improve his opinion about it.” The first one he can’t always do, but the latter choice is always open to every person.

You always have that choice. We can always improve our opinion about things. We can improve our attitude, the level at which we see things, view them, deal with them. The important point is that change of perspective, change of attitude, brings with it great changes in the situation also. It is vital that we consciously choose the better of the two possibilities.

The art of living happily and successfully consists in taking each situation and making the better choice the first time, in other words by acting under guidance. Every situation offers two possibilities. When you learn to look at yourself and your environment from a higher and brighter viewpoint, you will discover new possibilities, find better solutions for your problems, dare to venture into new experiences, and to exchange the old life for the new one.

We have at each moment the possibility of beginning a new life. It begins with the transformation of our thoughts from the hidden obstacles to the friendly helpers with our seeing, affirming, and choosing the best of every situation, the positive possibility.

As soon as we set the law of mind-action into motion consciously in a positive way by affirming our strength, ability, joy, happiness, success, and then by immediately acting according to our new and positive outlook, we enter a whole new life which leads us higher and higher and which is happier and happier, and more successful in every way.

Remember, God is Blessing You, Right Now!

In the book, Trust in the Goodness of God, author and Unity minister Mary Kupferle says, “Your good is here now! There is a suppplying presence of good that includes light, life, peace, order, courage, faith, joy, wholeness, and well-being with you and within you now. This good is ever-present and unlimited – exactly what you need, when you need it, and where you need it. . . . Affirm for yuorself: ‘My good is here now! I have within me a reservoir of faith, patience, peace, strength, wisdom, courage, love, and happiness that is ready to uplift me and heal any difficulty of mind, soul, body, or life.’”

Yes, your good is here now. Your happiness is here now.  The “pursuit of happiness” is said to be one of your inalienable rights. Can you accept it for yourself now any without reservation?

The following article by Bradley Thompson, a best-selling self-development author, is one I heartily agree with, so I decided to share it with you since the “Word for the Week” is on happiness. Enjoy!

Do you ever catch yourself saying, `I’ll be happy when … I’ve moved house, changed jobs, fallen in love, achieved x,y,z?’
This moment is really all we have. If happiness isn’t in you now, then when will it be?

You see, happiness is a choice. It’s really that simple!

If you keep putting off your happiness until tomorrow, then consider this:

Don’t pin your right to happiness on external factors, circumstances, other people or future possibilities. Be happy now!

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that buying the latest gadget, car, or material luxuries will make you happy. They may give you fleeting moments of satisfaction but they won’t make you truly happy.

Search inside yourself. You know, there’s a lot to be happy about. You’re alive! You have choices! Embrace the natural joy within.

Don’t know how to find your happiness?

Okay, well try a laughing meditation! Take some time out, let go of the day’s thoughts. Smile, and start laughing.

Feel the laughter as if it’s a bubbling pool of joy deep inside you, and let those happy vibrations surface.

Make time for laughter each day. When you’re laughing, you’re truly in the moment. Life’s challenges simply melt away and you’re left with a feeling of lightness and a sense of well-being that money really can’t buy.

And, if you’re on a journey, aiming to achieve your life’s goals, remember this nugget of wisdom by Albert Schweitzer:

 “Success is not the key to happiness.
Happiness is the key to success.
If you love what you are doing,
you will be successful.”

So, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing right now, be happy. It really is your choice!

Dear Friend,

Everyone is looking for happiness.

Aristotle said: “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.”

But how happy are YOU?

Do you still feel as though you’re SEEKING something else? As though you aren’t QUITE in the right place?

The potential for true happiness and freedom exists within you right now.

But most people don’t see it. Instead, they focus on the problematic grey clouds. They never realize the beautiful blue sky that always exists just behind them.

Have you heard of the “Happiness Now” technique? It’s said to be the only technique that helps you uncover your true happiness and freedom – in the most natural and simple way possible!

Let go of fears. Enjoy higher self-esteem. Embrace fantastic relationships. Uncover the real you. And much, much more – all when you ask yourself a few simple questions, using the simple Happiness Now technique.

You won’t believe how powerful this course is – and how it can change your life.

So, if you find yourself still “seeking” in any way, make the decision to explore this one final key.

Click on this link and enjoy Happiness Now – for yourself:

You’ll surprise yourself.

Remember, God is Blessing You, Right Now!

Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful, and is also good for your health. Being happy actually protects you from the stresses of life. And we know that stress has been linked to top causes of death such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke.

Just about everyone has heard the hit single Don’t Worry; Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin. The song has a very catchy way of conveying to everyone its message of being happy. Bobby McFerrin’s simple message surely made a lot of people happy by telling them not to worry.

One of the better things ever said is, “The only thing in life that will always remain the same is change.” And we have the power to make necessary changes in our lives if we want to. Even if we find ourselves in an unbearable situation we can always find solace in the knowledge that it too can change.

Social networks or relationships are essential to happiness. People are different, so accept people for whom or what they are, avoid clashes, constant arguments, and let go of all kinds of resentments. If arguments seem unavoidable you can still try to make an effort to understand the situation and you might just get along well.

Happiness is actually found within everyone; increasing it is a way to make a life more wonderful and also healthier.

To be happy is relatively easy; just decide to be a happy person. Abraham Lincoln observed that most people for most of the time can choose how happy or stressed, how relaxed or troubled, how bright or dull their outlook will be. The choice is simple really; choose to be happy.

There are several ways by which you can do this.

Being grateful is a great attitude. We have so much to be thankful for. Thank the driver for bringing you home safely, thank the cook for a wonderful dinner, and thank the person who cleans your windows. Thank the person who brings you your mail, thank the policeman for making your place safe, and thank God for being alive. You may want to start a gratitude journal, and every day write down something you are grateful for. You will find more and more things to be grateful for.

News is stressful; get less of it. Some people just can’t start their day without their daily dose of news. Think about it, ninety-nine percent of the news we hear or read is bad news. Starting the day with bad news does not seem to be a sensible thing to do.

A spiritual connection is also recommended. Being part of a spiritual or religious group with its singing, sacraments, chanting, prayers and meditations foster inner peace.

Manage your time. Time is invaluable and too important to waste. Time management can be viewed as a list of rules that involves scheduling, setting goals, planning, creating lists of things to do and prioritizing. These are the core basics of time management that need to be understood in order to develop an effective personal time management skill. These basic skills can be fine-tuned further to include the finer points of each skill to give you that extra reserve in bringing about the results you desire.

Laugh and laugh heartily each day. Yesterday my wife and I watched the movie, Mrs. Doubtfire. I recommend that you rent that movie if you want a good belly laugh. It’s a good practice to watch funny movies on a regular basis. Heard a good joke? Tell your friends or family members about it. As they say, “Laughter is the best medicine.”

Express your feelings, your affections, friendship and passion to people around you. They will most like reciprocate your actions. Try not to keep pent-up anger or frustrations; this is bad for your health. Instead, find ways of expressing them in a way that will not cause more injury or hurt to anyone.

Working hard brings tremendous personal satisfaction. It gives a feeling of being competent in finishing our tasks. Accomplishments are necessary for all of us; they give us a sense of value. Work on things that you feel are worthy of your time.

Learning is a joyful exercise. Try to learn something new every day. Learning makes us expand and broaden our horizons, and could also give us more opportunities in the future.

Run, jog, walk, swim, and do other things that your body was made for. Feel alive.

Avoid exposure to negative elements like loud noises, toxins and hazardous places.

These are the few simple things you can do every day to be happy.

Always remember the quote by Abraham Lincoln when he said, “Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

And always keep this in mind:

God is Blessing You, Right Now!

These ideas on genuine happiness come from a friend of mine. Enjoy!

Sometimes, when I feel like the world is just too heavy, I look around and find happy people who continue to live fascinating and wonderful lives. Then thoughts come popping into my mind like bubbles from nowhere – “How did their life become so sweet? How come they still can manage to laugh and play despite a busy stressful life?”  Then I pause and observe for a while… I figured out that maybe, they start to work on a place called ‘self’.

So, how does one become genuinely happy?

Step 1 is to love yourself.

My theology professor once said that “loving means accepting.”  To love oneself means to accept that you are not a perfect being, but behind the imperfection is the courage to discover ways on how to improve oneself and recover from mistakes.

Genuine happiness is also linked to contentment. When you are contented with the job you have, the way you look, with your family, your friends, the place you live in, your car, and all the things you now have – truly, you know the answer to the question “how to be genuinely happy.”

When we discover a small start somewhere from within, that small start will eventually lead to something else, and to something else. But if you keep questioning life like it has never done you any good, you will never be able to find genuine happiness.

Someone has said that life is about finding out about right and wrong, trying and failing, winning and losing. These are things that happen as often as you inhale and exhale. Failure in a person’s life has become as abundant and necessary as air. But this should not hinder you from becoming happy.

How to be genuinely happy in spite all these? I tell you… every time you exert effort to improve the quality of life and your being, whether it is cleaning up your room, helping a friend, taking care of your sick dog, fail on board exams and trying again, life gives you equivalent points for that.

Imagine life as a big score board like those which are used in the NFL. Every time you take a step forward, you make scoring points. Wouldn’t it be nice to look at that board at the end of each game and think to yourself “Whew! I got a point today. I’m glad I gave it a shot.” instead of looking at it and murmuring “Geez, I didn’t even hit a score today. I wish I had the guts to try out. We could have won!”

Genuine happiness isn’t about driving the hottest Formula 1 car, nor getting the employee of the year award, earning the highest 13th month pay, or beating the sales quota. Sometimes, the most sought after prizes in life doesn’t always go to the fastest, the strongest, the bravest or not even the best.

So, how do you become genuinely happy?  Every one has his own definition of ‘happiness’. Happiness for a writer may mean launching as much best selling books as possible. Happiness for a basketball rookie may mean getting the rookie of the year award. Happiness for a beggar may mean a lot of money. Happiness for a business man may mean success.

So, really now, how do we become genuinely happy? Simple. You don’t have to have the best things in this world. It’s about doing and making the best out of every single thing. When you find yourself smiling at your own mistake and telling yourself “Oh, I’ll do better next time”, you carry with you a flame of power to persevere that may spread out like a brush fire. You possess a willingness to stand up again and try – that will make you a genuinely happy person.

When you learn to accept yourself and your own faults you pass step 1 in the project “how to become genuinely happy”. For as long as you know how to accept others, you will also be accepted. For as long as you love and know how to love, you will receive love back tenfold.

Again, throw me that same question “how to become genuinely happy?” and I’ll refer you to a friend of mine who strongly quoted: “Most of us know that laughter is the best medicine to life’s aches and pain. But most of us don’t know that the best kind of laughter is laughter over self. Because then you don’t just become happy… you become free.”

God is Blessing You, right Now!

(Enjoy another great post by Karl, from www.karlblog.com)

Are you feeling happy right now?

If so, hurrah!

Spread some of that happiness into the world around you. Smile and lighten up those dark corners in the world.

If you’re not happy, then ask yourself why.

What is stealing you from happiness and what can you do to be happy again? Maybe you can just decide… to be happy?

Remember, happiness is quite simply a choice.

You can choose to be happy at any point.

Happiness isn’t conditional. It isn’t attached to anyone or anything. It’s free and represents the joy of living.

Your natural state is happiness, so seize it right this moment.

And do what makes you happy … live fully; fill each moment with beauty; love; and offer kindness.

HH the Dalai Lama said…

“When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.”

No matter what else is going on in your life right now, you can still have happiness at your heart’s core.

You can use the positive energy of your inner joy to resolve other feelings.

So, embrace happiness.

Live your life with happiness.

Be the happy, beautiful being you were born to be.

God is Blessing You, Right Now!

The Rev. Alan A. Rowbotham

I hope everything is beautiful in your world today.

After all, your thoughts have created your reality.

You can choose to see that beautiful, exciting, fun world that’s out there.

Or, you can choose to harbor thoughts that are limiting and which hold you back.

When we go to school, we are given a wide introduction to the subjects that make up the world around us – science, art, geography, math, languages and so forth, yet we are not taught just how our thoughts are responsible for our actions.

If Personal Growth was on the school curriculum, just imagine what the potential would be for well-rounded, loving, peaceful individuals.

We would learn the value of setting good intentions and right action from an early age.

Still, it’s never too late to realize that our thoughts do create our reality.

What’s more, we have a choice about what thoughts to keep and which ones to eliminate.

Set good intentions from the moment you wake up and greet the day.

Believe that your life just gets better and better.

Look for the beauty in everything around you and start creating that beautiful world you so richly deserve.

Become a poet – view life through a poet’s eyes.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge once said: “The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions – the little soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the countless other infinitesimals of pleasurable thought and genial feeling.”

There is beauty in everymoment, every single day.

Choose to live with beauty in your life – with Coleridge’s infinitesimals of pleasurable thought and genial feeling – and your life will be so much more!
