The eyes are the window to the soul as our spirit literally observes the world through that window. So have fun watching the world go by, enjoy people watching, appreciate the beauty, the sea view, the mountain tops, the forest, lakes, wild life, sky, moon, stars, light, colour and of course your nearest and dearest. Try looking at the dishes as you wash up, the clothes while you iron them, because that is what the eyes are for, to see, to be aware of your surroundings and focus on the task at hand. And if we could just be aware of the moment rather than disappear into a dream world the wrong thoughts that creep in to create our future would cease, and the things we really want and need would manifest. This is why hobbies are a good thing, because we focus on the intricate detail, feel good, happy and admire our craftsmanship. Hobbies bring inner peace.

Try washing a plate without thinking about what you watched on telly last night, try doing the ironing without drifting into what you need to do tomorrow, shopping, visit your parents or what you’ll cook for dinner later. You can look at all those things when they confront you, just as you can focus on the task in front of you in this instant. It takes practice as the mind tends to wander, but if you become aware of your thoughts drifting off into the void, then just keep bringing your awareness back to the task at hand, appreciate and enjoy it. Such as if you clean the toilet, then admire the process and great job you just did once finished, because the more we become aware of what we are doing, the less we are thinking of a bill we can’t pay, or some other fear that keeps happening in your world.

Happiness is a choice, if we can manage to smile when terminally ill, and laugh at funerals along side sadness, which we often do when reminiscing about the antics of passed loved ones, then we chose to find joy in that moment, we can choose joy in many moments. So instead of putting our joy on hold, saying, I’ll be happy when I find a partner, I will be happy when I get my degree, be happy when I get my new car, have a baby or move home, etc. Then we push those goals further away because we must be happy first to receive those things. Because it is our good feeling, positivity, high vibration and frequency that attracts all the things we want in a smooth, effortless transition. But when you are not happy, then to force a house sale, to move home just to make ourself happy, obstacles appear, contracts take longer, delays happen, things go wrong and adds to our frustration, and what we thought would take 6 weeks takes 6 months.

And that is simply because you were chasing joy, peace, excitement, etc when joy is a natural state you can access at anytime, as it already exists within. It is your thought and belief that stops you accessing this perfect peaceful, contented state of satisfaction. Stop trying, stop chasing and forcing, just relax, observe the world around you, have patience, enjoy your day then everything you want will flow with ease. And there is far more joy in manifesting with such ease through joy, than the fleeting lift you feel for a day when you seek joy in a temporary fix. Those are just tools to observe, use and enjoy, not the creation of joy itself! We are like an ocean spray seeking water, when we are the ocean, we are the stars searching for the universe when we are the universe itself. We are spirit seeking our spiritual side when we are spirit! How do we not know this?

We don’t know it because we let our mind and thoughts, that are mostly untruths rule our lives, which create the wrong things in our reality by default, but we can also use thought to create the right things, the things we love. And if you don’t think joy manifests the things you want, just think of when you lose a lover, you are so unhappy and want to feel loved again, we want that grief to stop and believe the only way to stop the pain is to fall for someone new. But no matter what no one new appears, and those we do like show no interest and we feel we will never love again.

But as time passes and as our heart slowly begins to heal we forget the pain, don’t feel so needy, decide we’re quite happy on our own and enjoy a social life with friends again. Then someone new appears in our life because we are happy, and it’s our joy that attracted them, as joy will attract everything with ease if we could be happy every day. And if we were, as well as transform our own lives we would change the world, because true joy is powerful, magnetic and infectious… so have fun!
