Ordinary Consciousness

"Happiness

is a matter

of one's most

ordinary

and

everyday

mode of

consciousness

being busy

and lively

and

unconcerned with self." ~ Iris Murdoch


If you are breathing and reading this, smile, relax,

and thank God for another opportunity to be happy.

Today, be busy looking for the chances that your

Higher Power will give you, the chance to be kind,

the chance to share the love, the chance to

demonstrate how patient and tolerant you can be,

and the chance to show concern for others.

Today, know that to find the path to happiness

your conscious will and the will of the Spirit of the

Universe must be using the same map.

Today, be lively, let the glow of the Spirit from

within you lighten the darkest doorway of

the friend or family who is in despair.

Happiness is enjoying ordinary consciousness.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
