No Such Thing As Unhappierness

Posted on 29. Apr, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

I have set the intention to be honest with myself about my next steps in business and life. Everything from creating new products and that they will have value, to not drinking alcohol and eating better. Things are changing. But not really. I am just letting the true me come forward. It surprises me at times.

I am not sure what my diet will end up consisting of, but it is clearly shifting. I am a little worried about how it will appear to others. Again pre-judging others for me. I think eating consciously and not drinking alcohol will look all woo woo and superior and that others will not like me for it or not be able to relate to me, but that is just fear.

I will be an example of possibility. Not because I have all the answers, but because I am living in integrity with my truth. This opening myself to myself will allow me to be seen more clearly and draw to me the people who can really have the true me. Who can honor me as I honor them. Nothing to fear but happiness.

Everyone may not agree with me, but I believe there is no such thing as unhappierness. Being unhappy is kind of like being dead. You cannot be more dead and you cannot be more unhappy.

Sure there are different degrees of sadness, disappointment, frustration, etc., but all of these in any combination usually equal unhappiness.

Moving out of unhappiness requires change of some type and change usually carries a little discomfort in its back pocket. Like when I started doing the yoga recently.

After just one day, I was already sore. Unlike when I do other exercises where the soreness reminds me I am making progress, this time it frustrated me. So you could say I was unhappier about my fitness and flexibility, but really I was no more unhappy. I was just being reminded of the unhappiness in a different way.

So as I let go of thinking that the discomfort created by my new activity was making me unhappier and recognized it for what it was, a reminder that I am making progress I was able to enjoy the yoga. I now look forward to my session everyday.

The fear that what we do next will only make things worse can be paralyzing. Finding some amusement around the fear that makes us think we are going to burst into flames if we address it, is a crucial step in getting free from the Goo, so you can live a Goo-Free life.

It is good to remember the following: “Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.” – The Universe.

Happy Happiness!
