Commit to Happiness

My thoughts are turning to winter here in Canada and soon the ground will be covered in snow. The summer is behind me now. As usual I tend to get a little sad about the loss of the plants, leaves and greenery as we settle in for the bland months. This year however I have committed myself to just being happy.

I know that sounds simple enough, but it really is. If you are living your life in integrity, happiness is easy to find. When one is living their life without worrying about the past and is more present centered then its really easy to be happy. A lot of unhappy people are still letting there past dictate their present. They are always reverting back to those unhappy memories, wishing they could change something or feeling guilty for something that happened a long time ago.

A while back I read in a book, I can't remember where,the writer defined every day a new day as long as his feet hit the ground. I remember at that time thinking that I could be reborn everyday and that I would from then on forgive myself for the things I did yesterday and live this day like it was my last.

The cool thing about that is, my outlook changed almost immediately. I felt happy and carefree just like a kid again, when summers lasted forever and days seemed like eternity. At that time I committed to trying to experience every day in the present. Once in the present I could change my way of thinking and commit to being happier. In fact without working too hard at it I found myself singing, smiling, being open with everyone I met and generally being more accepting to everything and everyone.

I now make it a point to smile at everyone I meet and say " how's your day going". It's interesting to see the response. In the coffee bar the other day, the women serving a lineup of people, stopped, looked up and said with a smile on her face, really good thanks. Here she was at 7:30 in the morning looking tired from starting at 4:00 am and she took the time to smile and reinforce my own day.

So today, try to commit to sharing more of your day with others. If your questing or re-questing for something, the piece of the puzzle may come from the people you meet. Open yourself to being happier, let the universe shine its light on you and remember -- it all will be given, you just need to notice.

Commit to Manifesting What it is You Want

I have been reading a lot of things about manifesting recently. Manifesting is getting what it is you want and why. I realized however that manifesting is a major commitment. If one really wants something to happen in the world, then one needs to become clear with the creator, get connected and really commit to believing that it will happen.

Manifesting is a simple process. It takes commitment however, as you need to truly understand and believe that whatever you want to have happen in your life, is truly possible. The power of the commitment is to have enough faith in knowing that you will get what it is you want, when you want it even if it is something that you think is totally out of your grasp.

Manifesting is also a significant focusing technique. The individual just needs to learn to follow through and stay focused on the outcome and not give up. Another tip for manifesting is to remember the universe's time for delivering may be different from your timing.

The key here is to give your dreams a time line that is broad based. Another tip I have learned is not to ask for money. For example; if it is money that you need, then abundance is what you want. The key to everything is to be committed to the asking and then recognizing the opportunities that are presented that start to lead you to your manifested outcome.

Here's an example. A number of years ago, I wrote down five things I wanted in my life on a piece of paper and put it in a drawer. Five years after that exercise I was moving into my new log house in the country and found this piece of paper. All five things that were written down on the piece of paper had been achieved without me really knowing it. I had forgotten that I even wrote them down and one of things was living in a log house in the country.

I believe now that I set the path then for the universe to help me by committing and writing down what is was I wanted and since I did not cancel my request, everything happened as it was supposed to.

So, if you just commit to manifesting what it is you want, then good things can
happen. You just need to become more aware them when they do. Also be careful for what you ask for as it will always show up. Its all about attitude and commitment.
