Billions of things could happen that you havent even thought of yet. The question is not whether they will happen. Things are going to happen. The real question is whether you want to be happy regardless of what happens. The purpose of your life is to enjoy and learn from your experiences. You were not put on Earth to suffer. Youre not helping anybody by being miserable. Regardless of your philosophical beliefs, the fact remains that you were born and you are going to die. During the time in between, you get to choose whether or not you want to enjoy the experience. Events dont determine whether or not youre going to be happy. Theyre just events. You determine whether or not youre going to be happy. You can be happy just to be alive. You can be happy having all these things happen to you, and then be happy to die. If you can live this way, your heart will be so open and your Spirit will be so free, that you will soar up to the heavens. This path leads you to absolute transcendence because any part of your being that would add a condition to your commitment to happiness has got to go. If you want to be happy you have to let go of the part of you that wants to create melodrama. This is the part that thinks theres a reason not to be happy. You have to transcend the personal, and as you do, you will naturally awaken to the higher aspects of your being. In the end, enjoying lifes experiences is the only rational thing to do. Youre sitting on a planet spinning around in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Go ahead, take a look at reality. Youre floating in empty space in a universe that goes on forever. If you have to be here, at least be happy and enjoy the experience. Youre going to die anyway. Things are going to happen anyway. Why shouldnt you be happy? You gain nothing by being bothered by lifes events. It doesnt change the world; you just suffer. Theres always going to be something that can bother you, if you let it. This choice to enjoy life will lead you through your spiritual journey. In truth, it is itself a spiritual teacher. Committing yourself to unconditional happiness will teach you every single thing there is to learn about yourself, about others, and about the nature of life. You will learn all about your mind, your heart, and your will. But you have to mean it when you say that youll be happy for the rest of your life. Every time a part of you begins to get unhappy, let it go. Work with it. Use affirmations, or do whatever you need to do to stay open. If you are committed, nothing can stop you. No matter what happens, you can choose to enjoy the experience. -Michael A. Singer from Untethered Soul
