Are you happy?

 

Are you happy? How is your emotional well being? Do you have God in you? Are you praying? Do you follow Jesus? Are you in a good Bible-based church? I realize there are a lot of questions here for you. Your answers and your level of happiness are connected to them. Like I wrote the other day on the Hopi Tribe of Indians from Arizona. We need God, we need a connection with our Creator to be happy and at peace. If we don't, we have chaos and dysfunction in this world, the Hopi knew this. Today we see so many unhappy people. They are so full of hate, negativity, and living in misery. I know some people like this. It is sad to see. They have become so full of hate, with so much TDS, they are deranged, negative, just living in such misery. They lack the love of Jesus in their hearts. While Jesus taught us to love all, our neighbors, enemies, everyone, so many today do not know Jesus, do not love Jesus, and therefore do not know love, they allow hate to fester and stir in their souls, making them so unhappy and full of hate. I have seen it from people I know, old friends, colleagues, and even new people when you hear them talking on the street or out and about. They do not know Jesus and His love. It is obvious. All I know is that I cannot and will not join one of their hate clubs! So many try to get me to join in on their bandwagon of hate, negativity, and misery, I just won't take the bait. Hate is not for me and I believe that love always wins over hate! I started reading this book by Dr. Andrew Weil, I have read a few other books by him. I love his homeopathy approach to health and well being. I agree. He starts out talking about his work in Colombia and living in Bogota and going to the Amazon jungle, and the fruits and herbs there, he mentions about the passion fruit juice he loves from there so much. I love it too! Colombia has the best fruits, vegetables, and herbs. He went there to learn about all of them for healing by the people in the deep forests of the Amazon, to see how they live, to see how they are and their well being. Many who do not live for the natural world of materialism, power, money, titles etc. are unhappy. People who live in those communities are happy. They are dependent on others, work for each others and love one another. I agree, all these herbs from Colombia are incredible. I lived in Bogota Colombia too for a few years and my spouse is from Cali Colombia. I learned so much about all the different herbs and what they are used for. I love Lulo fruit/juice, limoncillo, cedron, menta, and my favorite dish is Ajaccio. Colombia is a healthy country, many people are happy. It is a very Catholic country. People know Jesus. They love all, you do not see a lot of hate or negativity there. Many people are at peace. We need to live with spontaneous happiness!  I know my spouse, beach, and God do this for me on a daily basis! I am blessed and try my best to be happy at all times. I try to not be around negative, hateful, unhappy people living in misery. It is not healthy. We can pray for them. Try to help them by reflecting Jesus the best we can. However, happiness is critical for a good life and well being on this Earth School journey and I choose happiness over hate!
