During my workout today I was jamming out to my classic rock station on Pandora.  The song “Jet Airliner” came on and the lyric, “You know you got to go through hell before, you get to heaven” really struck me.

I have heard the song many times. I even went to a few Steve Miller Band concerts in high school….awe memories of hot Texas nights and drinking Southern Comfort…but I digress.

The reason the line struck me is because I know how true it is.  It is going through the most challenging of times that put feeling happy in perspective.  Often we need to journey through the dark to get to the light.

But feeling happy feels REALLY good so how do we feel it more often? Is it reasonable to expect to always feel happy? And do we have to go through hell to get to happy?

These are the questions I answer in my coaching session with Jennifer on this week’s podcast.   She wants to know how to be happier, but that was not exactly what I coached her on because from my POV, I don’t think we should strive to be “happy” all the time.

I encourage you to consider that being in the awareness and vibration of LOVE is what we are here to really learn. And love does not necessarily mean being happy all the time. Love is unconditional. It accepts all. It greets whatever emotion or state or issue we are facing with compassion.

Be sure to listen to this episode if you:

• Have an expectation that you should feel happy all the time
• Are waiting for something outside of you to make you happy or settled
• Are struggling with not feeling happy at all, even depressed
• Often put on a mask and pretend you are happy
• Feel like nothing is terribly wrong but nothing feels terribly right either
• Desire to feel happy more often

I explore these topics and much more so be sure to go here to listen in!

Love,
Christine
