Happiness, Joy & Contentment

[spiritualcookie]

(See also: Non-Abe Quotes on this topic: 1)

Contentment comes only from intending
and then allowing and receiving. (...)

You want it; you allow it; you receive it.

You receive no contentment from something that someone else has created.
It is only YOUR wanting it and receiving it that brings forth contentment

- Abraham 1987

“Find something that makes you happy and fixate on it.
That is the answer to all things.
It’s the answer to getting everything that you want.”

“When you reach for the thought that feels better,
the universe is now responding differently to you because of that effort.
And so, the things that follow you get better and better, too.
So it gets easier to reach for the thought that feels better,
because you are on ever-increasing, improving platforms that feel better.”

-

“Stop asking others to be the change that you need in order to feel better.
That is the freedom that you are looking for.”

-

“When you focus on the good, the good gets better.”

-

“If all you did was just looked for things to appreciate, you would live a joyously spectacular life.”

-

“As you think thoughts that feel good to you, you will be in harmony with who you really are.”

-

“The greatest gift you can ever give another person is your own happiness.”

-

“The standard of success in life isn’t the things. It isn’t the money or the stuff — it is absolutely the amount of joy you feel.”

-


“The basis of your life is absolute freedom,
the goal is joy,
and the result of that perfect combination is motion forward, or growth.
Your goal is to find objects of attention that let your cork raise.”

It is our desire that you make a decision that nothing is more important than that you feel good,
and that you will do the best in every moment to find the best feeling thought that you can find.
And as that is your mantra, reaching for that relief that is always possible no matter how good you feel.

You heard a friend say “I thought I felt good, and then I found out I could feel even better. It was orgasmic,” she said.

And we say: There is no limit to how good you can feel.
So, why not go after that?
Why not find out just how good you can feel?

But in the process of trying to find out just how good you can feel, we ask just one thing of you -
do not lament how bad you may feel right now because it is irrelevant.

Put your boat in wherever you are.
Trust the stream to take you to a better feeling place and just let go of the oars.
The stream will turn you,
and as you do that more and more and more,
this ever-flowing stream will lead you right to the culmination of so many things that you have been wanting.

But most of all, it will return you to the resources of Source. It will return you to the vibration that is really who you are, and then you can get on with why you came to begin with.

Those who have emerged into the physical,
who had people around them that said right from the beginning,
“You’re good and everything’s alright”,
Those who, because of the influence that surrounded them often felt the presence of their Inner Being.
When you see them from a distance,

you say, “They’re self-confident.”
We say they’re filled with the presence of their Inner Being.

You say, “They’re happy.”
We say they’re filled with the presence of their Inner Being.

You say, “They’re physically healthy.”
We say they’re filled with the presence of their Inner Being.

That is the only thing that is important to acknowledge,
because once you understand how to have the presence of your Inner Being,
then from that point you are guided to what is most appropriate for you -
you find your life purpose that was intended;
You satisfy all of the intentions.

[Paradise-on-Earth]

Your work is to laugh more, and play more, and cruise more, and bask more, and meditate more.
Your work is to go to the beach more, dangle your feet in the bay more.
Your work is to do the things that soothe you into alignment more.
You’ve done the work that has put it into vibrational escrow.
The work of your life has been happening, all along!

Abraham

The only thing that produces and perpetuates satisfaction
is knowing what you want,
and moving toward it.

~ Abraham-Hicks

[spiritualcookie]

Each of you chooses the degree of satisfaction, contentment, peace, love, joy or ecstasy that you will experience,
for there is a broad range of that which may be experienced,
and all of it hinges upon your willingness to make decisions about what you want,
and your belief or knowing that which you think, is.

Abraham

-

Wealth does not cause happiness

The degree of joy or satisfaction that is felt at the receiving of something that you have created is not proportionately related to its monetary value or grandness.

It is as satisfying to create a button as it is to create a castle - if the button is something that is really wanted.

Allow yourself to feel satisfaction from everything that you are intending and receiving.

- Abraham Hicks

Most of you are creating out of habit.
Going through the motions of life and not receiving contentment.
For contentment comes only from one place:
Contentment comes only from intending, and allowing and receiving.

But as you are banging around,
doing everything because somebody else thinks it is the thing to do,
but not doing it because you want to do it -
you receive very little contentment from that.

- Abraham

Life is supposed to feel good for you! - Abe

[spiritualcookie]

It is natural for you to soar.
It is natural for you to feel elation.
It is natural for you to feel clarity
and vitality and certainty.
In other words, it is natural for you to feel good.

And you will always feel good
unless you hold your attention upon something that does not allow your vibration to be there where it belongs.


- Abraham Hicks
