A friend and mentor of mine pointed out a very important concept to me just the other day.  She stated very clearly that “some people don’t want to happy”.  My equilibrium started to reel at that comment.  Then, she even had the audacity to say that “some people don’t want to have peaceful lives or joy in their lives”.  Now as you can imagine, if you have read any of my posts, that I found these statements to be a shock to my system.

I said to my inner self, “What??!!  Who doesn’t want to be happy???”  Of course, my friend read my mind;  I should mention she is an intuitive; and she said- “It isn’t so much that they don’t want happiness, it is more that their systems can’t handle it.”   Ohhhhhhh, now I get it!  And this statement I could get, and relate to in what seems to be a way back part of my life.  I used to function on stress, adrenaline, fight or flight, etc.  During that time I appeared happy and peaceful, but internally I was running at some obscene pace of existence.  It has taken conscious effort on my part over a period of years to welcome in joy, peace, truth, unconditional love, and yes- happiness.

Sooooo, during that initial time of inviting in peace, joy, truth, love, neutrality and many more wonderful concepts, my body, mind and spirit went through many changes.  Not all of those changes felt necessarily pleasant at the time.  For example:  Did you know that severe anxiety and excitement feel very much the same way internally???  Yup, they do.  So when I got excited about something positive, for a time my body interpreted it as anxiety and shot out a whole lot of adrenaline.  I felt a bit like an overworked electrical outlet whose fuse kept blowing.  Not so good.  It took radical changes, time, therapy, coaching, holistic healing, and some serious doses of B-12(don’t worry- I consulted my acupuncturist and my holistic health consultant) to rewire my system.

I say all of this not to judge or point fingers at the people who are not ready to make radical changes to their lives to usher in peace, joy, health and more.  I say this to remind myself, and all of us, that we are all built for different things.  We are all in this time and space at just the “right time”.  We are all moving through our journeys of life with our own pace, our own roles, and our own purpose.  Some of us are ready to make changes, and some of us can’t imagine change, and some of us really, really want to change, but when it comes time to do it- they just heaven’t learned to handle the Happy yet.

So when you see someone who seems like they just can’t stand Happy; rather than try to coerce them into the Light, just love them where they are….

from a distance if you have to!

Peace, Love and Happy to any one who can handle it! <3 🙂 🙂
