I found a meme about Love during my routine Facebook perusal this morning, a wonderful Rumi quote. The quote is about not searching for Love, but rather, removing the obstacles that block and prevent Love. And it struck me how that same thought process absolutely applies to Happiness, as well.
Happiness, like Love, are emotions that are experienced spontaneously all on their own.
This way of thinking about Happiness opens up new windows of possibilities for my journey, but I don't really know what obstacles I have that block and prevent Happiness from bubbling up naturally, just as God intended. So, I will need to meditate on this further, and perhaps sit down and talk with God about how I can first identify (then remove) these obstacles to both Love and Happiness...
...and I'm not sure why, but even the mere thought of this conversation scares me to my core.
Aha! Perhaps I've just identified my first obstacle...lol.
