Unless you are happy with yourself, you will not be happy.
Happiness does not have to be deserved, earned, worked for or paid for; it simply has to be accepted.
People will treat you the way YOU treat you.
First you believe, and then you see the Light. Next you go towards the Light. Soon you are IN the Light. Now you ARE the Light.
Happiness doesn't come and go, what comes and goes is your attunement to happiness.
The difference between happiness is no-where and happiness is now-here has something to do with the event, and everything to do with how you see the event. Your perception is key.
