It is not exactly your duty to be happy, because happiness does not come on demand. Nor is happiness exactly your purpose because happiness rather tags along. What you can do right now in this moment is to recognize that happiness is your birthright.
Spend your time doing activities that match your highest intentions. Let go of things that your intuition prompts you to surrender. Those things may then either become healed so that you enjoy them, or else the activity will easily drop away.
Don’t spend major time with minor people.
If there are people in your life
that continually disappoint you,
break promises, and stomp on your dreams,
too judgmental, have different values and
don’t have your back during difficult times…
that is not a friend.
