Hey You! Yes, I’m Talking to You!

Hey You!

Yes, I’m talking to you!

Snap your fingers now…

Have you done it?

You could be happy just like that.

This is it! That’s how easy it is.

No tricks. No super powers. No gimmicks! No secrets!

Great news, right?

Happiness is there even if you don’t see it. Your life is filled with happiness. It doesn’t disappear just because you can’t or maybe don’t want to notice it. Isn’t that amazing? It is almost like your entire life is designed just for you.

Perfectly there, ready and waiting for you.

Whenever you are ready…

Even if you have to take baby steps…. it’s a gentle and positive process. It’s never loud.

Do you still think you need to discover some secret you don’t know just yet?

Here is the truth.

It’s doesn’t work like that. If you continue to wait for more, it will never happen!

Some say “Find happiness” but you never receive instructions. Where should you look and, for crying out loud, how long does it take?

And we think that it takes forever, that we need some super powers or at least a few boxes ticked: money, success (your definition), family, career or whatever else we make our happiness dependant on.

Snap your fingers again…

That’s it! Right there in that moment you can be happy.

It’s not about what you possess and how much of it. Happiness is how you see it and what your interpretation of life is. It is how you see and define yourself. It’s the thoughts you believe and the story that you tell yourself about life…

Your happy story… not just the happy ending!

It’s easier than you think.

It’s in kindness and being grateful for every new day. There are clouds and skies; there is the sun that you see every morning (well, in Ireland not every morning but you still know it’s there) Do you notice? You’ve got air coming to your lungs. Breathe. Can you feel your heart beat?

There is no secret. There is you and your reality and the beauty of it and the beauty of you. You could spend your entire life embracing that.

And you spend your life waiting.

What are you waiting for?  A revelation, a prince charming or a princess, a lotto win, a golden platter, a trophy? Ok, let’s wait a little longer.

The time staaaarts… NOW!

Tick – tock, tick –tock, tick –tock…

Nothing here!

Has anything happened at your end?

Do you want to wait for a bit longer? How long have you been waiting anyway?

Just asking!

How serious are you about it? How serious are you about you?!

You have no idea how fantastic you are, have you?

You have no idea how much potential you have!

You have been granted a mission of being awesome. Yes, you! Can you hear me?

You are the best you can be right now! And it’s not about someone else’s confirmation of your amazing qualities.

What are you waiting for? A Diploma in Super Powers?

Whatever it is that you think you need to be happy, it’s there already! You got it!

Happiness is everywhere and if you are willing to see it, your reality will change but in reality it will stay the same. Why? Because it’s already fantastic. You just have to see it. That’s all.

Do you need scientific evidence?

Ok, here it comes – Research confirmed that no matter what we possess eventually it does nothing to our sense of happiness and joy in life.

Yes, that’s right. That’s how it works. You don’t find happiness, you are not given it and you don’t win it. It’s there if you want to see it.

Where can you see it now? In children’s laughter, in a quiet Sunday evening, under a Christmas tree, in a taste of your favourite ice-cream?

So what is your favourite ice-cream?

Snap your fingers now…

You could be happy just like that. This is it! That’s how easy it is.

But do you want it?

Do you really, really want it?

No more talking, no more excuses “As soon as I have more, do more, get more… I’ll be happy”. What makes you think that if you don’t appreciate all that you have right now, you will appreciate when you have more of it?

You are amazing and your time is NOW. Not yesterday and not tomorrow. NOW!

Keep going, keep looking and keep seeing all that’s out there. Let yourself be inspired by the smallest detail. There is nothing else. This day, this minute, this moment. Joy!

Stop your busy mind and make plenty of room for the tiniest detail. Move the clutter in your head out of the way.

Let the light in, let the fresh air in. Let yourself be happy!

Yes, you!

Get out of your own way!

Let yourself be happy!
