NOT NECESSARY . . .

To be happy . . .

It is NOT NECESSARY to overcome your fear.
It is NOT NECESSARY to maintain a positive attitude.
It is NOT NECESSARY to improve your state of mind.
It is NOT NECESSARY to raise your spirits.
It is NOT NECESSARY to, in any way, pursue a better feeling than the one you’re feeling now.

Rather . . .

It is ESSENTIAL to know yourself as WHO YOU REALLY ARE – the infinite, eternal, aware presence within which all states of mind, emotions, and feelings continually appear and dissolve; and to know that peace, joy, and love are the limitless qualities of this aware presence, available to be accessed at all times, under all conditions.
