Find Your Own Happiness

Sometimes there is a need for poetry. There is a need to
release yourself from the exigencies of the world. It is good to get out of
yourself and go into a vaster realm. There are times when concrete life is too
concrete for you. That’s all right. You can be excused for a while.
This is a good time to get out into nature or into a poem. This is a good time to get out from where you are into a softer realm. There are areas of life that are not your cup of tea. Don’t think you have to excel in them. Admit you don’t have to be supreme in every area of life. This is not escape. You don’t have to be a nuclear physicist. You may have to be an artist. It is perfectly okay to be who are at any given moment.
Maybe you are not meant to run a certain race.
Some of My children do well in humid climates. Some do better in arid climates. Some do better in tropical, and some do better in arctic. Where is it said that everyone must excel everywhere in everything?
Some people work well with their hands. They are good at building things. Others are happier with words. Some of My children are happy in certain areas, and others are happy in other areas. Who says that everyone is to excel in the same areas? Not I.
I say: Find your happiness. Perhaps you easily find what is not happiness-making for you. Must you submit yourself to it? For what reason?
This is not the same as to say that you are to excuse yourself from whatever does not please you. I am saying that everyone is not alike, and no one has to be like someone else. Everyone can pitch in, but no one has to make himself or herself what the world might call efficient in everything.
Einstein excelled in certain areas and was not proficient in others. Had he been made to raise himself in areas that were not natural to him, would he have been able to make the discoveries he did?
If you are not excellent in math, do you have to be?
Life does not have to be imposed upon you. You do not have to fit into a round or a square hole. You do not have to cut off your feet to fit the bed.
Every single one of My children is unique. Is this not wonderful!
Some people are tall, and some are short. Some people love athletics. Some do not.
Life challenges you enough. Perfection in the world does not have to be added to your challenges. No one has to run to everything, any more than he has to run away from everything.
What you are is good enough. What you naturally are is not meant to be an excuse. Just the same, there are areas to excuse yourself from.
Find joy in life. I do not favor life as a struggle. I say you do not have to prove yourself expert in everything. I say you do not have to prove yourself in anything according to others’ intentions or impositions.
If you like quiet, find quiet. If you like to make music, make music. What you are is lovely and wonderful. Extol who you are. You do not have to balance yourself out according to others’ preferences and ideas.
Yes, it is wonderful to serve, and it is wonderful to be happy in whatever way you serve. It is also wonderful to at least give yourself the freedom to be as you are, not as an excuse, but as one who follows his own dreams and not so much the dreams of others. In My eyes, you are perfect whatever someone else may think. Be perfectly you, dear ones. If everyone valued his own talents, would not the world be happier?
