Welcome All to the latest edition of the Happiness meetings.

This edition is intended to be closely linked to our previous meeting: The Illumination of Understanding.

We take a big step forward, and this will be an elevating step upward! 

Our subject: The Context of our Lives.

Definition of Context:  1.  The parts of a discourse that surround a word or a passage and can throw light on its meaning.

2.  The interrelated conditions in which something exists or occurs: environment, setting, circumstances, conditions.

In the opening of the previous meeting on the Illumination of understanding, I shared that understanding is something that needs to come to us as we continue on our path.

This topic of context is something that we all operate from as this deals w/ our known conditions as they exist in our lives, in our environment.  

It is often said, "Everything happens for a reason." While that may sound cliché, it can still be a source of truth which does take time to come to the fullness of ones understanding, that each lesson is a contribution in our process of our growth and our in fortitude.

Our Happiness meeting are intended to meet us where ever us are, in our current conditions and to provide structural support and consistency from which each person can bring perspective, find meaning and can "sharpen your knife," by deepening your commitment to self care.

Happiness cannot be externally extracted and be interiorly transplanted. Happiness is an inside job and this meeting is going to be all inclusive!  That inclusion is unlimited, and the outcomes that one can create insitu are designed to be progressive and the work is self rewarding. 

Asking self questions and taking time to connect w/ the things that matter the most are going to point you to the area of your values and your passions, and thats desirable.

This meeting is designed to be empowering, so take as much liberty as you choose!

All acts of empowerment cause us to see and envision something that calls us forth, awakens our drive and our initiative, getting action started, taking ownership and taking leadership to a new level.

There are many things to look at, as we begin to look at tools to help us assess our current context.

In this meeting, we are going to be looking at the process of being centered on peace and in believing that we can achieve the experience that we can find standing in the process of using the Serenity prayer.

The Serenity prayer is very powerful and it has been used by millions of people. It was written by Reinhold Niebuhr in 1932, and it spread quickly through the churches and in 1940's it became a staple for Alcoholics Anonymous.

We can always be present to our understanding of our nature, that it is with our inner nature that we can create external change. 

We are all natural leaders, we are all natural creators, inventors, writers, musicians, astronomers, life coaches, healing artists and designers of our finest and our most fulfilled selves! 

We are generous, abundant and unyielding and we help souls to shine!

This meeting in now open to All.

Questions For Your Consideration

Context of life, this is a topic… Wow. Life is a beautiful thing even with things that happen which is beyond our comprehension. 

1) Let’s take a moment to discuss the context of our life with

an underlying sense of pure beauty.

What does the Serenity Prayer mean to you in the context of manageability,

Serenity and joy in your life?

2)Let’s take a moment

and share what  this idea means

in regard to the power in powerlessness.

3) How do you define and differentiate between gratitude and appreciation?

4) How do you define and differentiate between joy and happiness?

5) In terms of context, how do you allow for change in the context of your life? How are you ‘growing yourself’ these days

 

I EASILY EXPERIENCE HAPPINESS, JOY AND GOOD FEELINGS

Happiness starts as I open my eyes and acknowledge I have choice.

I release anything that is not for my higher good I allow Divine Timing to create my personal power.

Serenity

 

 

 

Live your happiest life by applying these takeaways from the Serenity Prayer to your life.

“Learning to sit with ambiguity can be a very important start at a life liberated from anxiety—and the way to do it is to resist the urge to chase answers to questions that may actually be unanswerable.”

Kelly G. Wilson in the book, Things Might Go Terribly, Horribly Wrong:

 

When there is love in your heart, everything outside of you also becomes lovable.  ~Veeresh

☼► Live With Love. Life is beautiful. And love greatly magnifies that beauty. Love has no reason. It is the reason.Give love, and you have even more. Live with love, and you live with all the richness life has to offer. Let yourself love sincerely, without expectation, just because that love flows naturally from who you are. Let go of the pretenses, fears and inhibitions, and live with the love that is at the center of you. Live with love, and it brings out the best in you. Think, speak and act from a perspective of real, authentic love, and the result is genuine and growing fulfillment. Live with love.

For love will carry you forward like nothing else can. …Ralph Marston

In response to ♡ ˚more Happiness please(:'s post:

saved for question 1:

Let’s take a moment to

(a)discuss the context of our life with

an underlying sense of pure beauty.

 

Pure beauty- I am glad this focus came to me, I believe at this stage of my life, the ‘lens of my camera’ needs to see thru the eyes of beauty in greater ways.

Whether it be an over-sized project or a major life event- seeing with a lens of beauty creates more of the joy /happiness I prefer

It is not a blind eye to what is not preferred. I believe we are always acknowledging things on many levels unconsciously and consciously.

It is a decision where to focus and to deal with the remnants as they do arise.

 

will return…

 

(b)What does the Serenity Prayer mean to you in the context of manageability,

Serenity and joy in your life?

I feel the Serenity Prayer is extremely powerful. I honestly believe it is more powerful than most realize… I don’t like assuming what others may feel … though … felt that way(: Anyway … when there is anything I feel irritated or frustrated about … I just say that prayer. It’s easy to get used to it as ‘ just words’ … though it is without a doubt a very powerful prayer.

It says 

to the God which exceeds my minuscule understanding,

to Grant ME 

the

SERENITY

to ACCEPT

the THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE 

the

COURAGE To CHANGE 

The Things I CAN

and 

the 
WISDOM 

to 

KNOW 

THE DIFFERENCE 

———

Wow! 

Serenity

Acceptance

Courage

Wisdom

What a complete gift

this is!

When frustrated

irritated

With daily upsets, 

What is it we are 
trying to experience?

1)Things that are

either not our responsibility

or

2) things it is not time to do as it is, or we are.

 

Its so good to get a complete wake up call

for the empowering go-ahead, 

the empowering help

&support

for ways of completeness

we could never

do alone.

It is awesome when you just can’t figure out why something is  just

not working and we surrender , let go of the reins of control

and give it to a Power that has the awesomeness to not fail

We may need to learn patience,

gain comfort with things for which there is no definitive answer …

We get help every time with surrendering

The Serenity Prayer excites me.

I especially find  

this comforting

in times of grief.

Sometimes…I feel I should be able to feel this way or that way…

The Serenity Prayer gives me peace and paves away for helping me change what I can and pray for help where I just cannot do it alone.

5) part of … the question asks:

How are you ‘growing yourself’ these days?

PRAYERFULLY

 COMPLETELY 

& HUMBLY

 

 I now have the ability to change anything

in my life that I choose to change.

I take complete responsibility for my life.

I AM what I need, and I come thru for me every time

because everything is something

I can and will

easily figure out
