For today’s meditation, let’s turn to American novelist and short story writer, Willa Cather, who tells us how to be happy…
That is happiness: to be dissolved into something complete and great.
You are already complete and great. Right now. In this very moment.
But you most likely don’t realize your completeness and greatness because your constant mind chatter and thinking about the past and the future are blocking the real you.
So bust through the block.
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath. Hold for a few seconds. Exhale slowly. Repeat until you’ve slowed down, decreased your thinking, and deepened your awareness.
There it is.
You.
Total, complete, and great.
Amazing.
And now you know how to be happy anytime you want to be.
