In my last post on here, I encouraged people to try becoming more positive, more hopeful and more JOYFUL (despite the current circumstances that befall us ALL at this time), in order that we may win this 'spiritual war' with ease. So today, I am going to build upon that thread by elaborating upon some of the simplest ways by which you can find happiness and joy in your lives. Read on for more! :)

To begin with, where does lasting happiness on EARTH come from?..."LASTING" being the key word here? Well, it comes from either of two things: The first one is SERVICE; the second one is SELF-EXPRESSION. And more often than not, SELF-EXPRESSION IS SERVICE. Allow me to explain.

"Service", in its simplest form, is bringing joy to another, whether that another is a human being, an animal, or a plant, matters not. Also, service isn't just "charity" or "rescuing a cat stuck on a tree" alone...you can be of service by simply offerring a warm smile to someone who looks cold, lonely and depressed. You can be of service by sharing your meal with someone. You can be of service by offering an old lady help with loading up her groceries into her car, or what-else-have-you. You can be of service by visiting an old age home near you and giving them all some Christmas / New Year gifts, and even better, simply spending some TIME with them sharing and having some CONVERSATIONS...you guys have no idea how lonely these people's lives are. And then again, if that type of service isn't exactly your cup of tea for some reason, guess what....SELF-EXPRESSION is exactly what the doctor ordered for YOU!

Self-Expression: This can be anything that comes naturally to you and brings you immense JOY. It can be writing. It can be singing. It can be painting, gardening, cooking, gaming, or even plain old prayer and meditation! It can be playing a sport that you enjoy playing or going for a jog or fishing. It can be inventing something or doing something the rest of the world considers "nerdy". It's simple: If YOU'RE the one doing it (as opposed to passive things such as watching Netflix or getting a massage), it then becomes your INEXHAUSTIBLE source of SELF-GENERATED joy (i.e. you don't have to rely on ANOTHER person to get that joy for yourself).

Not only that, self-expression makes you feel FULFILLED and ACCOMPLISHED...for example, you're not going to feel like a waste of space if that last post you wrote about on greatawakening.win brought joy, hope and happiness to another person. Or that last song you sung got your troublesome neighbour to finally consider relocation. Not saying you shouldn't watch Netflix or get a massage or anything (whatever keeps you going, go do it! (save super-negative shit like addictions and such!))...but that when you do or create something AWESOME, it not only brings joy to YOU, but also to SO. MANY. OTHERS!

Which makes SELF-EXPRESSION one of the most amazing forms of SERVICE too!

Along with these, there are many other incredible things that you can do to bring more and more happiness into your lives, bit by bit by bit!

A. Connecting with nature, going for walks in your local garden, connecting with animals etc.

B. Decorating your own home...you stay there all day, might as well make it beautiful and great smelling, great feeling, right? And no, it doesn't always have to be expensive. For instance, putting flowers in a flower pot and changing them twice or thrice each week costs you nearly nothing...but a simple flower or two in your room changes the entire ATMOSPHERE of that entire place and brings you LOADS of JOY! Just try it out and tell me it doesn't work!

C. You can also use your OWN creativity to do the above...you don't need to purchase an expensive painting if you can literally paint one yourself (if you're new to painting, try YouTube or something for some easy lessons!) and decorate your wall with it! Or, if you suck at painting, try writing a poem or something...frame it up and put it up on your wall (bonus points if you can write it in a great handwriting...or, even better, Calligraph it!).

Not only will (doing) the activity ITSELF bring you joy, but also it's RESULTS! After all, YOU are going to enjoy seeing YOUR painting on YOUR wall a whole lot more than seeing some random painting done by some random ass artist...doesn't matter how good they are. That is, of course, unless your paintings are total shit, in which case, consider writing a poem or an inspirational quote or something.

There are virtually ENDLESS things that you can do to bring pure JOY to your life (AND other people's lives as well)...from creating art and craft and music to simply recreating your life from scratch...to going out and having conversations with the lonely and the depressed to going and petting pups at your local animal shelter! If nothing else, you can simply find time to grab a hot cuppa tea / coffee for some time each day and just admire nature. Or go watch a "Tourism in 4K (place name)" video on YouTube on mute with some beautiful, soft and soothing instrumental / tibetan music playing in another tab! (I do this a lot myself, but with Live Cam videos of planes taking off or trains travelling). If nothing else, you can just do some Yoga / Tai Chi...or better, just take some time off of a busy day and simply enjoy the sheer act of BREATHING!

LIFE offers you AMPLE chances AND time each day to bring JOY to yourself...and every SMALL bit of joy you bring to yourself, ADDS UP to make your OVERALL life all the more happier, sexier, and RICHER! So, it's all up to YOU whether you choose to spend whatever bits of free time you find in your day reading NEGATIVE stuff on social media, news websites, alternative news websites etc. that make you feel BAD...or whether you'd rather utilize the EXACT SAME TIME in doing something that brings you JOY...and in some cases...SERVES THE WORLD AROUND YOU (and brings OTHERS some JOY) as well!

BE the change you wish to SEE.

Have a very Happy New Year, everyone! :) :) :)

EDIT: Also, you will find here (to your great surprise and JOY) that YOU being happy and happi-er inspires OTHERS around you and in your life to be happy and happi-er as well! Because remember, JOY (much like sadness) is INFECTIOUS (unlike the current "virus"!!!) Also, it is INSPIRATIONAL and it GETS AROUND much like K.D. Harris on an average day. So yeah, instead of some fake flu, go make your JOY go VIRAL instead! Much love and many hugs to you!

GIGA EDIT: Also, if you feel so inclined, PLEASE do SHARE this post across all of your social medias or whatever. Or, in case TGA.WIN links are banned, just copy-paste this text or such. Or, if you are a blogger or a YouTuber or such, feel free to address this topic in your next video or blog post...because THIS IS EXACTLY HOW WE can support the White Hats in bringing forth a better world! After all, THEY can only help clean-up the bad guys. That ALONE is of little use or consequence if the NEW WORLD that we are building here is filled with people who are not HEAVEN-BENT on making our world a better place, ONE SMALL STEP at a time! Cheers! And have an incredible day!
