It Starts! My passion to increase happiness in the world
I made this website because it feels right to me. Talking and thinking about these topics fills me with happiness and calm. Sharing my thoughts helps me grow as a person and seems to help others too.
I'm not pretending to be some wise guru or an enlightened being. I think when we start talking about enlightenment, it sounds like something far away, and something we need to work on to accomplish. The reality is this: it’s a way of experiencing the world, and it's closer than we think.
Every day, I try to understand myself better—what I do, think, and feel. I read a lot, write a lot, and spend a lot of time reflecting. I'm always learning and growing, and most importantly, unlearning which is an important part of improving our happiness.
One thing I struggle with is not feeling happy all the time. I often feel sad, angry, anxious, jealous, scared, or not good enough. It really gets to me. After a tough day, I try to figure out why it went that way.
Most times, it's because of negative thoughts and feelings. It's like having a bad song stuck in your head or tossing and turning all night with worries. These thoughts lead to bad feelings—about me, others, work, the world, my relationships, my kids. Negative thoughts and feelings can mess up a lot.
So, what's the deal? Why do I think and feel this way? Why can't I have the life I want? Why do bad things keep happening? Why can't I just feel love, happiness, and joy all the time? Why take myself so seriously every day.
Why can’t I just be happy, joyous, in touch with divinity…..all while I go about my day in modern society?
These are the big questions I want to explore here.
We've all had times when we felt super happy and connected. My goal is to help us all feel that way more often.
I hope that these writings help increase the joy in your life. I hope they point you to the light within you that is always there, waiting for you to attend to it so it may grow into a powerful realization of how divine you are.
