Songs that Make you Feel Good

Happy - Pharrell Williams 

Here come bad news talking this and that...

^ High point of the lyrics right there!

Whether the bad news in the media is based on the truth or expert "spin-doctoring", what has happened is already the past.  No news, no matter how undesirable, is good enough reason to stop being the most powerful, positive, absolutely, unshakably confident version of yourself.

 Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth 

^ I'm clapping

Of course, sadness will be there when loved ones suffer or die - that's only natural - but torturing oneself with denial and self-blame and not allowing oneself to let go of the pain is erroneous - it's actually sinful.

If we can see the truth of how blessed we are to have the things that we do, we will feel grateful, even in the midst of loss.  If we can manage to be present with ourselves even in the most painful moments, compassion will emanate from within, allowing for deep mourning, yet without the negative spin on what has happened (no beating up on oneself for experiencing the loss).

Negative spin is the only thing that keeps us from knowing the truth - we forever feel grateful for consciousness/ experience.  Joy is our natural state.
