Happiness is an "internal matter." It is a decision to be Happy, regardless of external conditions. Self-Love is optimal. The Universal Life Force, God, Love and Happiness are all ONE. "I AM HAPPINESS" is an affirmation of the truth. Our real SELF is inherently Happy. Do you want to be Happy independent of the external conditions? Your Happiness is the Life Force that can accomplish anything. It is a Powerful State of Mind. The more you want to be here the more grounded and happier you will be. Gratitude cultivates your awareness of Happiness.
