LIve happy or live unhappy

Dear Friends,

Yes, you get to choose. You get to choose to live unhappily or to live happily. The other day, I listened calmly as an adult complained about the rising taxes he/she is paying. Well, we're all paying high taxes. Aren't you? I am.

We can't avoid taxes. But we can avoid making ourselves unhappy over them. Our unhappiness only clouds our ability to live creatively with what we are given. When we spend our time unhappily, we limit our responses to life, and we limit our own ability to see clearly.

Our anger, our resentments, whatever is keeping us unhappy needs to be taken out into the sunlight and looked at clearly, once and for all, and then allowed to drift away, so that we can be happy.

And from that place we will live as free, adult human beings.

Warmly,
meb
