If you can't see a benefit of the challenges in the present, know that you're giving a present to your future." —Bright Side Up: 100 Ways to Be Happier Right Now

Therefore, for me, living true to my self may be defined as: Making the daily choices in all areas of my life that are in the best interests of my survival, evolution and prosperity, that aid the ongoing achievement of the highest physical, mental and spiritual objectives of which I am capable, that are based on the most correct assessment of reality I have available, and that honor the evolving truth of who I am and who I choose to be, all in the personal pursuit of freedom, function, fun, as well as the highest good of all.

It is no coincidence that precisely when things started going downhill with the gods, politics gained its bliss-making character. There would be no reason for objecting to this, since the gods, too were not exactly fair. But at least people saw temples instead of termite architecture. Bliss is drawing closer; it is no longer in the afterlife, it will come, though not momentarily, sooner or later in the here and now - in time.

The anarch thinks more primitively; he refuses to give up any of his happiness. "Make thyself happy" is his basic law. It his response to the "Know thyself" at the temple of Apollo in Delphi. These two maxims complement each other; we must know our happiness and our measure.

There’s a thin line between letting something fuck you up and letting it free you up. You can let something fuck you up or you can let it free you up but you can’t do both. If you’re letting something fuck you up right now, you’re not letting it free you up and if you’re letting it free you up right now, you’re not letting it fuck you up. So which is it?

The problem is that kind of thinking means you’re going to punish yourself forever. You think you don’t deserve happiness or love or acceptance, so you make decisions to reinforce those beliefs. You stay in unsatisfying relationships because you don’t feel you deserve better. You don’t ask for what you want because you don’t think you have the right to ask for anything. You just stay unhappy and self-pitying, and then you punish yourself some more, and again, and again, and again. So until we teach you to value yourself, we can’t teach you how to make sure other people value you.

Our well-being is not dependent on anyone else’s behaviour. This does not mean that we don’t desire or prefer certain things from others. It means that our happiness is not tied to whether or not those wishes are met. We can invite, but we do not demand.

Sometimes you’re just so happy you want to dissolve into a mist and blow away with the breeze. Your feet walk rhythmically down the sidewalk as the sun sets golden and a freight train blows in the distance over the faint sound of a siren and the trees wave with the wind nice and green. Sometimes you’re so calm you just disappear and everything happens.

Thoughts of him cloud her mind
The anxiety floods in knowing she will soon see him
Her hands and legs tremble upon meeting him
She is so nervous
Just so nervous for him
She's not sure how to convey her feelings
Afraid of rejection
The uncertainty
The eagerness
She is falling

We can slow down our own experience and savour what life has to offer if we just sit in the now a little more often. In the present, our minds are clearer and not crammed tight with past and future anxieties.

Peace isn’t passive—it’s power.
It’s the calm that walks into chaos and doesn’t flinch.
It’s knowing God’s got it, even when you don’t see it.

Happiness isn’t hype—it’s holy.
It’s the smile that survives the storm.
It’s laughter that doesn’t need a reason, just a revelation.

Joy isn’t a mood—it’s a mantle.
It’s Heaven’s echo in your spirit.
It’s dancing when the battle isn’t over, because you already know the outcome.

Peace is my posture. Joy is my soundtrack. Happiness is my glow.
I don’t chase vibes—I carry victory. God didn’t just give me peace—He made me a peacemaker.

Let’s make it unforgettable.

Let’s GO!
