Ampersand Answers: The Key to Happiness

There is no key to happiness—the door is always open. 

The Question: 

How do I find the key to happiness? 

&mpersand Answers: 

This is one of the key concepts of metaphysical living: happiness is your birthright.

 The real issue with happiness is that we in the west have been taught systematically that happiness comes from what “hap”-ens outside us. 

Wrong, all wrong. 

Happiness, like so much of real life, is an inside job. In fact, it’s an inside-out job.  

The key to happiness (which you might need although it doesn’t fit in a particular door) is to choose it. 

Yep. That’s it. 

Choose to be happy. 

I go one further every day. Instead of choosing to be happy, I choose to be happier. 

Do you see what that does? It assumes that happy is already in place. 

Then I wish for everyone else (and yes, I really do mean everyone) that they be happier. 

Everybody wins. And it all starts with a choice. Choose to be happy, and watch what “hap”pens.
