Happiness isn’t so much a matter of what is there as it is about removing what’s in the way. You can’t possibly feel positive emotion when you’re holding onto things that bring you pain.
That’s not to say you can’t go through it. Life’s hard sometimes, and you’re allowed to hurt. The question is: how long do you want to feel angry, bitter or resentful?
And more importantly: what you can clear away today so you can connect with your joy?

Thank you for this post. It is an answer to my prayers. It is very difficult to come to the point where you let go of past pain, but it is necessary to do it, in order to experience positive emotion.It is a personal decision, to decide not to let those feelings get in the way of happiness – one that I'm making now – thank you…
