I choose to be happy right now!
Prayer:
Divine Spirit,
Thank You for happiness. Thank You for joy. Thank You for all of the bright and beautiful things that you created just to make me smile.
And so it is.
Meditation:
When the time is right, child. When the time is right. How often
have we heard those words — from a friend, a sponsor, our Higher Power?
We want things so badly — that job, that check, a relationship, a possession. We want our life to change.
So we wait, sometimes patiently, sometimes anxiously, wondering all the while: When will the future bring me what I long for? Will I be happy then?
We try to predict, circling dates on the calendar, asking questions. We forget that we don’t hold the answers. The answers come from God. If we listen closely, we’ll hear them. When the time is right, child. When the time is right. Today, I will relax. I am being prepared. I can let go of timing. I can stop manipulating outcomes. Good things will happen when the time is right, and they will happen naturally.
Be happy now.
