The Key to Happiness is Living in the Now
I believe most of us can be happy most of the time if not all of the time but our thoughts get in the way. Our thoughts are stuck in the past or future. We are not living in the present moment, we live in the past of in the future.
/No matter how great the past was or how bad it was it's over. It can't be undone. If you live with regret each day then you are stuck in your past. Living like this is not really living it's just existing. You can't change what happened so why not let go and forgive and move on. Our natural state is pure joy but if you never live in the present moment then you are missing out.
On the other hand if you are waiting for some event to happen so you can be happy you aren't really living either. The future is unknown too. It's great to set goal and we all do it, but things are changing every second. Planning to be happy at a certain point in your life is not how your feel happiness.
/Happiness is always happening in the present moment. All we have is the present moment, right now as you are reading this post. You can be happy and joyful. The secret to happiness is living in the now, living in the present moment and living moment by moment. Worrying about the past and future is just thoughts in your head that you think about.
You can be happy right now as you read this post and you can continue that momentum every moment of every day. It's just that simple. Life is simple, ask yourself if what is creating misery is just my thoughts about the past and future. If you take the time to really think about it, you will realize that unhappiness is just your thought being stuck in past or present.
You can just simply live your life moment by moment and feel peace and joy most of the time. Not every moment will be perfectly happy as we will have some suffering but you don't have to stay stuck in suffering for years. You can learn to just focus on the now.
All we have is happening now. I believe that our goal is to be happy. I believe that we are love and loved by our creators and that we are here to help others live their best life.
/Blessings to All

Yes, there is no way we can go back to the past and fix everything. What's gone, that's gone forever. What we can do is to do something now.
Now is the moment to do what you love, enjoy your life and work for what you want. Thank you @iamfreespirit for sharing this. Hope you will find my posts interesting as I found yours!
