Happy Too!

If you haven't read the post for June 1st, I highly recommend it. If you want to just jump on in... who am I to stop you, especially in a post about happiness. Basically I'm exploring how I practice* being in the present moment, so I can commit to and sustain my unconditional happiness.

Here's a quote I first read on a bookmark more than 30 years ago:
"Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that 'Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.'"

Well, according to all reliable (ancient & modern) sources... that appears to be it then! For me, my mind is most made up and pointed toward happiness when I'm listening and/or dancing to music. So, when I perused a variety of contemporary "happy" songs, they all say essentially the same thing... as each other, as "honest" Abe, as the sages throughout history. So... I guess I (and you, if you choose to make yourself happy right now) will just have to listen:
Pharrell Williams -- Happy (Official Music Video)
Justin Timberlake -- Can't Stop the Feeling (From DreamWorks Animation "Trolls") (Official Video)
"Can't Stop the Feeling!" (Official Movie Clip) TROLLS
Bobby McFerrrin -- Don't Worry Be Happy (Official Video)
Katrina & The Waves -- Walking on Sunshine (Official Video)

*Since the "multiple pathways" concept applies to everything... it's not one specific practice, but a practice that's specific to you! How do you connect to the present moment, stay grateful and feel bliss? What would happen if you chose to do THAT no matter what? Would you be happy, too?
