...Even while going through various layers of inner resistance about becoming a "happiness author," my deep soul smile became bigger and brighter by the moment. What a blessing it has been to focus my mind, heart, and soul on the topic of happiness, and specifically, spiritual happiness. What a gift. I could almost hear God saying, "I want you to be happy," and it was one of the sweetest things I've ever heard inside of myself. I hope that this gift also becomes your gift, as you recognize, contemplate, and strengthen your own spiritual happiness.

Happiness is your birthright, and you can uncover that happiness through intention and practice. Intend to be happy, and practice being happy. Imagine that God has spoken inside of you, saying, "I want you to be happy." Feel the freedom that comes from trusting that God wants you to be happy. Give it a go - smile all the time, or at least smile for a while.
