Unlocking Happiness: Simple Pleasures Matter

The morning sun illuminates a fictional version of Skyborne Ranch Camp.

Today I challenged myself to write a blog that was simple yet profound. I started my day by walking around Skyborne Ranch and feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin. It contrasted nicely with the coolness of the morning air. Then I noticed how fresh the air was with the invigorating scent of pine. The world was quiet except for the twitter of a few birds and the rustle of a light breeze though the tree branches. A moment of pure gratitude and joy filled me with happiness for the life I had manifested.

Which brings me to the question I’d like to pose to you today. “What does happiness mean to you?” When I was younger I would have said something along these lines: “When I finally obtain (fill in the blank) then I will be happy.” I was trying to use my dissatisfaction with my current life status to motivate me to achieve my goals in life. I later learned that this approach put me in a vibration of dissatisfaction making me a vibration and frequency mismatch to the manifestation of the life I desired.

When I was in my mid-thirties I noticed that some of the great things I had manifested came with an unwanted component that made them unsatisfying. My perfect job came with a supervisor who was jealous of me. She set out to sabotage my job performance through various means. My perfect girlfriend came with deep seated insecurities that made it impossible for her to support my career choices. Even my perfect sports car had an engine over heating problem that several dealerships just couldn’t find or fix. These are just a few examples of how my happiness always seemed to be thwarted by contingent circumstances.

At a certain point I had to realize that although I had become proficient at manifesting the things I desired, for reasons I was unaware of, I was creating “mixed manifestations” that were unsatisfying in the end. At about the same time I noticed something else. It wasn’t my achievements that brought me the most joy and happiness. It was the experiences along the way.

I learned to stop putting off being happy and give myself permission to enjoy the “little pleasures” of the moment. In fact, I previously wrote a blog article about this called “This Magic Moment“. This change of perspective increased the percentage of the time I was in a happy vibration thus attracting more happiness with less and less moments of dissatisfaction.

In fact, as I moved into my 40’s it was becoming uncanny. Those around me were still bringing forth mixed manifestations, which always contained unsatisfying elements. I, on the other hand was moving more and more into pure manifestations that brought me consistent joy. I credit this to my ability to analyze my previous beliefs/mental state, realize the flaws in my approach and make corrections. In other words, to learn from my mistakes.

This is not to say that my life stopped being challenging. I live for challenges and to me overcoming them is part of what makes life exciting. I’ve always reached for the stars and set high goals for myself. My point is that by altering how I approach happiness, by connecting it to momentary, simple pleasures rather than the attainment of goals, I found the frequency “sweet spot” that enables me to manifest without a tainted mixture.

Therefore I challenge my readers to answer this simple question: “What brings you happiness and joy?” Keep in mind the more complex the answer is, the less percentage of time you will be living in the vibration of happiness and the more in the frequency of dissatisfaction. Being that you attract what you are, being a dissatisfied person will cause you to manifest unsatisfying situations and circumstances (the Law of Attraction). Far better to learn to appreciate the small things. Is a bird singing outside your morning window? You can curse the little pooper for disturbing your sleep or you can thank the Universe for waking you with a song!

One of the most life-changing things we can all learn is that we choose what makes us happy. It starts by what we focus our appreciation on. Some people live in a world of boundless beauty and others live in a world of unending ugliness. Both live in the same world. Perspective is everything!

In conclusion, I hope this article inspires you. How lucky you are the Universe created and motivated someone to write personal messages to help you manifest the life of your dreams. Connect with your true energetic (higher) self and watch the miracles happen!
