Why I am Happy Today
By Layard Dunnett 

Stephen Pierce (http://www.dtalpha.com/talkback/?p=34) asked a question that I think each of us should

think about… 
 

Does the Present create the Future, or does the Future create the Present?

Wow! What a thing to ask. If that question doesn’t make you seriously evaluate the nature of your life then I don’t know what will.

Actually, the very asking of it (that question to yourself) calls into effect the Laws of Attraction but that isn’t what this post is about. This post is about being Happy… NOW.

Obviously it is not possible to be happy every moment in life. There are situations where certain events may overwhelm our efforts to do so, such as the loss of a Loved one, or a pet you cherished. During times like those we struggle to maintain a positive outlook on life. I know because I’ve been there too, recently. But… those times pass and then we are forced to deal with the fact that we must go on regardless of what life has handed us. The answer to the question Stephen asked is important every day of our lives but even more important at times like those because we must go on.

Does the Present create the Future, or does the Future create the Present?

If I dwell on the past I am living in the past. If I focus on the present only then I may be a little better off… depending on what I perceive my future to be. If I have no vision of my future then my present seems without purpose. Ever feel that way? I’ll bet you have, I think we all have at one time or another.

Read that one part again… the “depending on what I perceive my future to be” part determines my present state of mind.

I am happy today because of what I perceive my future to be. I am happy today because I am doing things at this moment (in the present) that are contributing to that perceived future. I am happy at this moment because I can’t be happy and unhappy at the same moment in time… no one can.

So, my happiness now is a result of the perceived future. The future I hold in my mind… and heart. It is exactly the same for you if you are reading this. As a matter of fact, while you are reading this you are actually not unhappy… your mind is focused on reading these words. But… as soon as you finish a sentence you mind grabs another thought. The nature of that thought is what determines your state of mind. If you have a vision of a bright future then that is where your mind will grab a thought. If you hold visions of past failures or disappointments then THAT is where your mind will grab a thought. If you are beginning to understand what is being said here… then you are probably grabbing a “positive” thought because you are beginning to understand how this works.

One can’t think of past events to create the future. By doing so we end up creating a future of the same nature as the past. I am not saying we shouldn’t be aware of the past because we should. It’s just that we shouldn’t “dwell” on it; we shouldn’t focus on it… even if it was a successful or happy event. We do need to be aware of our mistakes in order to avoid making them again and we need to be aware of what actions will lead to future successes. 

So, what is the answer to the question?

Well, from my point of view the Future creates the Present.

Your vision of "your future” determines "your present” actions. Your present actions bring about your future. If your actions in the present are contributing towards a Happy Future then you will be happy in the present. Do you see how that works?

Create a Happy Future for yourself and you will have a Happy Present.

And, as I have said in previous articles, just “day-dreaming” about something accomplishes nothing. The Future you create must be a compelling one. A future that you have passion about, one that YOU want for yourself… not one that someone else wants for you. Create a Future for YOURSELF. Also, in creating your Happy Future you must declare it to be a fact. Write it down on paper, be detailed, identify what actions you can take to bring that future about… and then actually do those actions. I’ll guarantee you that while you are doing those things that will bring your Happy Future to you, you will be Happy in the Present.

Your Future creates your Present.

To Your Happiness,
