There Is Something Wrong With Us!

For once, a relatively short post.


We all want to be happy, but most of us regularly engage in certain self-defeating behaviour that prevents us from being happy.
I recently came across this gem from the Indian mystic and spiritual leader Maharaj Charan Singh [pictured left]:

‘There is something wrong with us. We never want to be happy at the present moment. Either we are worried about what we have done or about what is going to happen to us. We don’t want to make the best use of the present moment. If we make this moment happy, our past automatically becomes happy, and we have no time to worry about the future. So we must take life as it comes and spend it happily. Every moment should be spent happily. …’

Dr Emmet Fox [pictured right], the famous New Thought minister, lecturer, and author, made a similar point when he wrote:

‘Has it ever occurred to you that the only time you ever have is the present moment? … What that means that you can only live in the present. It means that you can only act in the present. It means that you can only experience in the present. Above all, it means that the only thing you have to heal is the present thought. … All that you can know is your present thought, and all that you can experience is the outer expression of all the thoughts and beliefs that you are holding at the present time. What you call the past can only be your memory of the past. The seeming consequences of past events, be they good or bad, are still but the expression of your present state of mind (including, of course, the subconscious). What are all the future things that you may be planning, or things that you may be dreading—all this is still but a present state of mind. This is the real meaning of the traditional phrase, “The Eternal Now.” The only joy you can experience is the joy you experience now. A happy memory is a present joy. The only pain you can experience is the pain of the present moment. Sad memories are present pain. Get the present moment right. …’

Choose to be happy—now! (Yes, it is a choice.) In this very present moment. Make the most of the present moment—and make every moment count! If you do that properly, your past, as well as any fears you might hold about the future, will disappear—instantaneously! Forever! Make a decision to do only this—heal the present thought. Get that right. Get the present moment right.

That’s all you have to do. Simple, isn’t it? Well, get to ‘it.’
