God said:

As a human being in the world, refrain from asking yourself every day: “Am I happy today? How happy am I today? How unhappy am I today?” Asking yourself for a report card of your happiness is an invitation to unhappiness.

Go about your work and your life and take happiness as your due. Your happiness is not in question unless you debate it.

You do not wake up every morning and ask yourself if you are alive. It is a good assumption that you are alive.

Hopefully, you do not wake up every morning and ask: “Am I in good health this morning? Do I have a headache? Do I have a temperature? Do I look pale?”

Nor is it worthwhile to ask: “What misgivings do I have today? What are my lacks? What am I missing? Of what life has to offer, what am I missing?”

The fault lies in your questions, beloveds, not the stars. You ask leading questions. You make a suggestion that may well disrupt you from the path of happiness, good health, well-being, and so on.

Would you wake yourself up in the morning to the tune of such questions as: “Will I be arrested today? Will I be run over by a car? Will my car run off the road?” Your questions may steer you down a winding road.

In life, you are not in court. No lawyer is asking you questions upon which your life depends. You are not on the stand. No one is asking you to incriminate yourself, yet this seems to be habit of your own, to put yourself on trial. Better to take the high road, beloveds. Just drive on the road that is called Happiness. Don’t drive down the road called Difficulties or Misadventures or Ramshackle or Poverty or Trouble or Heartbreak. What street do you desire? That is the street to drive down. Not the ones behind you.

Responsibility for your life comes down to you. If life is out of your hands, you make yourself a victim of the world. A victim is not a good role to play. It is rather a sniveling role. What is a child of God doing sniveling anyway?

Do you wake up in the morning asking: “What can I feel sorry for about myself today? What cause for self-pity do I have? Where are today’s lists of dissatisfaction? How many pitfalls can I find? How many people can I think of today who have wronged me and gotten away with it? What calamity awaits me today? Let me count the ways.”

If you want to count, count good fortune. Put misfortune away. Do not give it an appealing book cover.

Yet there must be some pictures of woe that you carry that have appeal to you, or why would you take them with you or look for them along the way and find them? 

Come out into the sunshine with Me. When you are in a field of daisies, you pick the daisies you like. You place the daisies you have picked in the rooms of your house. You do not pick wilted flowers to put in your rooms, yet it seems that you pick fault all over the place. You may even look for fields of skunk cabbage to dampen your spirits. Look for sweet flowers to fill up the rooms of your thoughts.

You have not always been loyal to yourself nor loyal to your will and My Will. Point yourself into the direction you will go now. Take a U-turn with your thoughts. Get onto the bandwagon of happiness.
