Creating Happiness

How important is teaching children to obey? Children gain a sense of security from knowing where their boundaries are. Teaching obedience is lovingly creating boundaries. When you teach your children to obey, you are leading them into a greater sense of security.

It is the same with adults. As an adult, sometimes we have gone beyond our boundaries. When we have stretched our boundaries beyond the limits, depression creeps in. Depression steals our joy. Depression causes us to be lonely, cast off, tired, angry, anxiety-ridden, and feel sabotaged.

You have a choice. You have the power to chose to resist your teachings and feelings. If you were taught with loving care, the confidence will return when you empower yourself with the knowledge that you know to be the truth and live within those boundaries. You have a choice to accept happiness or depression. The confidence you have will far outweigh the temporary resistance. Stick with a loving plan to discipline yourself. As you stick with your plan, confidence will strengthen. Create happiness thoughts and let joy flow through you.

When you feel worn down and tired of the inevitable struggle that comes with depression, know that you are worth the effort. Know that your efforts are worth it.
