Are you happy with your life? It's OK to say you are. But you probably can't or won't admit it, right? What is that? When did you decide that you couldn't be happy and had to be dissatisfied and complain about life? Would you like to more happiness in life? Will moaning and groaning create it? Or will choosing to be happy create it? If you'd like to find out, ask “What can I smile about today?” and then SMILE and smile some more. You may only find one thing to start with. A really great cup of coffee. A break in the traffic. A clear blue sky. So SMILE. You can also smile at the not-so-great stuff. Boss cranky? SMILE. Lost your keys? SMILE. Heartbroken? SMILE. After a while, like magic, your sense of happiness will expand and you'll see more and more great stuff in life. You may even infect others and wouldn't that be something to smile about?

They're up in the air of course. Or are they? If you're “standing” on your head, then wouldn't your feet be on your head? How many things in your life are like this? Beliefs based on assumptions? You've heard it from your family and friends a million times, or you saw it on TV, so of course it's true? What if some, many, or even all your assumptions about how the world functions were different to what you thought? What if everything was the opposite of what it appeared to be and nothing was the opposite of what it appeared to be? So next time you'd like clarity about something you have assumed must a certain way, ask “If I'm standing on my head, where are my feet here?” You may find they are indeed in the air. Or they may be on your head. Maybe you checked them into the cloakroom. Or perhaps you never had feet to begin with?
*** With thanks to John for the question. How often do you feel swept away by the stream of people's trauma and drama? Dragged over the rapids and smashed against the rocks? Or perhaps you're a salmon diligently struggling against the flow? What if instead you were a rock in the stream, allowing the water to pass one way and the salmon to pass the other? What if you could see it all, without being the effect of it, so you can choose what works for you? This is allowance and questions will get you there. Like to be the rock? Be the question.
