Maybe we feel that we need to earn happiness and have a purpose for it. Maybe we feel guilty of being happy while many are seemingly unhappy. Maybe we know joy and happiness are temporary and we do not want to be disappointed when they are gone. Maybe we have unresolved emotions that need to be acknowledged and processed.

Be Now! 

I will be happy
when I find a solution.

Be happy now! 

I will be happy
when the weekend comes. 

Be happy now!

I will smile
when I find my partner.

Smile now!

I will take a deep breath
when I am ready to receive.

Breathe now!

I will feel sensation in my body
when I have time.

Feel now!

I will be happy
when my sadness is gone. 

Let it go now!

What are you holding on to?

How do you benefit from being miserable?
