I was just reading about happiness and how we all have a skewed vision of what happiness is. We tend to see it as the moments of ecstasy that come oh so briefly and then flit away rather than the background acceptance and embracing of whatever is. Moments of ecstasy are often tainted with the feeling of grasping onto this moment or trying to recreate it in the future. Either way, we don't truly enjoy these fleeting moments anyway. The article also talked about positivity and how much positive thought, speech and action can affect your ability to be with a unshakeable sense of happiness.
So I am making the commitment to stop my habits of complaining, self-degrading, and mean or rude thought, speech and action. I plan to start with stopping saying negative things as that is one of the easiest to see/hear. I will make a commitment to notice when I complain or bitch and to make a conscious effort to be more positive and optimistic.
I feel optimism and positivity go hand in hand with unconditional love. Dropping the conditions and embracing myself and others as I am and as they are. Right now, in this moment, without stipulation.
