‘Life unfolds in a way in which reflects what you are thinking and imagining in all moments.’ – dorothy

There is the challenge of remaining open to new experiences — to what new adventures and outcomes may be on your path. There is also the freedom to choose what you want, based on the nuance of what your heart yearns for and of what you desire and wish for most.
These are the inspirations that open you to wisdom, anticipation, and love — and of relishing in the sacred moments of life that are before you.
Opening to love is how you set in place the eternal messages of your heart already inspiring every waking moment.
‘Come to know the beautiful life that awaits you. Look inward for your answers. Allow for the greatest revelations to be based in how you love — and in how you live; knowing that to live in witness of the most incredible moments requires that you must first be witness to these from a place of joy and happiness.” — dorothy ratusny
Subconsciously (and for some, it is a very deliberate and conscious action), we look for ways to make ourselves happy. It may be in the simplest of life’s offerings as the first hit of coffee that we savour in the morning; a read of our favourite news feed (or morning paper) before or during our commute to work; sharing a laugh with someone whose presence and company we enjoy; eating the foods we love; being outdoors and in nature; retail ‘therapy’, or learning something new.
For whatever pleasures you go in search of that prompt you to feel upbeat and joyful — are also the reminders that something outside of yourself causes your happiness.
Life can become a series of moments that we live in search of what will ‘make’ us feel good (aka ‘happy’, ‘joyful’, ‘alive’) rather than living life as a series of moments that we easily enjoy (and relish) because we are living connected to our inner happiness — which is always present — always accessible — always a part of us.
‘Happiness is Your Inherent State’
The next time that you find yourself ‘in search of’ something because of how you want to feel, consider that life mirrors existence. That “something” that you have convinced yourself you need — becomes an even better experience because of your current state of being.
A life that is lived with appreciation and ‘thanks’; with gratitude — fuels abundance and joy.
It is not wrong to go in search of what will allow you to feel happy; however, it’s far more enjoyable and fulfilling to walk the planet in a state of self-induced joy that originates from knowing that contentment, inner peace, and happiness — is what you are — it is your inherent state of being.
It is what you exist as beyond the moments when your thoughts move you out of this state; and into the turmoil that is fuelled by critical self-talk, worry, angst, or any other emotional state that overrides your authentic nature.

If it is your chosen desire to appreciate the good in others, then you will automatically look for and find more good in others — in situations, and in yourself. The healing of relationships and your past are possible when you choose to live in the present moment.
(We cause our suffering by focusing on the past (the unchangeable and no longer relevant aspects of life beyond your control) — and whatever has moved us away from feeling content, ease, joy, and gratitude).
Live your authentic power by acknowledging that happiness is your inherent state; and that you are responsible for this state by what thoughts you hold. Therefore, it is most useful to learn how to access your state of inner happiness; or bliss — by choice — so that you can more readily live in this state.
Live your authentic power by first acknowledging that happiness is your inherent state; that you move yourself out of this state by what thoughts you hold; and that it is more useful for you to learn how to access this inner happiness; this inner bliss – by choice – so that you can live as this – in all moments.
You have the certainty and greater knowing of truth, of desire — and of the perfect ways in which life mirrors what you expect of it; reminding you of the beautiful ways in which you can take action.
In the beauty of these moments — in the certainty of love and what abounds for you, know this — that life is the greater presence of wisdom. Life is the outpouring of what you know and what you desire to know, and you are of the most significant and perfect nature of this.
You are life in these certain moments. You are what is most beautiful and profound; and what you wish for now is the path to all things — of greater meaning — of love — of your eternal wisdom.
Let nothing hold you back from the true path that you are on — the path that has opened for you and the path that is your home. All that remains is your blissful following of this — of living as a perfect expression of your heart fully open.

In the inspired vision you have for life, be ready — it is approaching you now. It is finding a home in the love that you are — that you are choosing to be in each moment you are awake, aware — of all things, of all blessings, of all truth; because love is your power.

Practical Wisdom for Living a Life You Love
Imagine something that is very important to you. Is this ‘something’ in what you look for in the mirror, in your driveway, in the number of ‘likes’ to an Instagram post, or in your bank account? Is what you want not what you currently have?
The very act of what you are living is what continues to foster or impede what you want. Do you want to live certain health goals? To have a certain wealth and income? To have certain types of relationships including the romantic and passionate love that you may doubt is possible? For whatever your thoughts are will be your reality.
Doubt that you will have a happier life or more love and adoration and it will be so, and it will also continue to limit you. Believe firmly in what you want as you hold its presence in your mind with certainty and life begins to unfold like this because you are holding this as your certain existence. We live this way as children — as we ask for and dream of what we want most and as we hold the great belief in this being our reality.
‘…nearly 90% of your thoughts are the same as what you had yesterday.’ – Robert Svoboda, Ayurvedic Doctor and Author
What is your new reality?
What new existence; new attitude, new behaviours, new thoughts will become your life?
When you look back on your life, will there be anything that you wished you had thought differently about? Will there be anything that you wished you had tried, experienced, completed?
How will you live your new reality? For example, “I am happy. I am grateful for everything and all the opportunities.”
What are the actions that you need to do that will give you the life that you want? For example, the actions of perseverance, of kindness, of faith, and of not giving up on all that you desire most.
Live knowing with certainty that your thoughts, beliefs, and attitude become your outward experience; and that life mirrors your inner existence.
Begin here. Each time you notice your mood state as the absence of happiness; that your present moment situation is anything but ideal; come back to what you are deliberating in your mind; what you are focusing on and telling yourself — and rethink this.
Use repetition of desired thoughts and your ability to be present — to witness ‘what is’ and to be content right here, right now, as you remind yourself of all of your goodness and all that you are capable of — beginning with your deepest desires.
Live trusting that your creative outpourings are supported and met with the equal and greater force of the universe; what you desire — on its way to you.
