Goodness. It is a quality that radiates at the very core of most humans. We strive to be good people and to be good to others; we love one another and want to lead "good" lives. Most practice spirituality regularly and support their loved ones in whatever they choose to do. Humans, I believe are inherently good.
Life is full of goodness! If it doesn't seem to be coming our way, then it is up to us as individuals to go and find it within ourselves and in the world.
Creating our own happiness within each moment is key. Accepting ourselves for who we are is helpful. Being virtuous is essential.
Good, happy moments must be created from the simplest of things for everyone is entitled to have them. Basic needs like eating, sleeping, and maintaining personal hygiene are a given when it comes to a person's happiness. Grumpiness and hunger go hand-in-hand, so take care of yourself! Eat sensibly and drink a good amount of water each day.
Once our basic needs are taken care of, our brains are free to make choices. Free to choose to have a good moment in our life, or a bad moment. Free to choose to have a positive attitude, or a negative one. Free to choose to hold open the door for an elderly person and free to allow someone else go first at an intersection. Freedom to make a difference in someone's life or your own.
I want to find happiness within each moment I am given...within my life. It isn't perfect but it's mine.
God is good, and if my desire is to be with God someday, my mind and body have to be in a likewise place. So begins this journey.....to find, be given, or create good within my life or the life of others. To live a virtuous life.
