  • Summary

  • Happy International Day of Happiness! This is the Spring Equinox. It's truly a day when happiness is the dominant expression. My name is Erica Glessing, and I'm here today to keep us in that realm of happiness and help you release anything that could be standing in the way of a deep and engaged sense of happiness. Truly, this is something I've known my entire life, and it's really interesting. I remember back to when I built the Happiness Telesummit years ago, and I got on the phone with some of the most amazing experts in the field of happiness, including Marci Shimoff, who wrote "Happy for No Reason," and other amazing light bringers. They were like, "Oh my gosh, you really are happy!" They were surprised, but when we look at this energy of happiness, this expression of joyful happiness, it's going to look different for you than for anyone else. And that's why it can be elusive, because you might be looking outside for what happiness is as compared to being it yourself. So, I was guided to read a passage from my book, "Happiness Quotations: Gentle Reminders of Your Preciousness," to you. It is Happiness Quotation 26: "The universe lies within you. It's about more than you, yet all of the universe lies within you. So as you get clear and get in tune with your inner joyfulness, the universe brightens. Let's say that again: As you get clear and tune into your joyfulness, the universe brightens. Within every cell of your being lies the entire universe. The history of the planet is within us all. The future of the planet is not known. As each of us finds this glory in being, as each of us touches that light that we all are, the entire universe becomes filled with more light, more love, and more absolute harmony of being. Trust that you are here now for a reason. Trust that you are exactly where you are supposed to be, and you are learning everything you came to learn. And within you lies the greatness that lies within every person on the planet. You are a part of all that is. Feel that, experience that, and revel in that today. The universe lies within you." And this is a passage in my second book called "Happiness Quotations: Gentle Reminders of Your Preciousness." You can find more gentle reminders like this in my book, available now! https://amzn.to/4iJr2Yp Thank you so much for being here today. It's a joyful day for me. I am so grateful for the teachings and the teachers and the mentors and the light of beings that came before me, and the light of beings that are showing me the way and guiding my own light. It's a very special day for me. March 20th is always a special day for me. The happiness, the expression of happiness, is so different than one might have thought it might be. And this is really funny because I remember, I'm blessed to have exceptionally wealthy friends, like, you know, half a billion dollar net worth type of friends or more. And I remember when they said to me that happiness wasn't about the money. And I remember being like, "Yeah, right, easy for you to say." Like, it's easy if you have money to say happiness isn't about money. If you don't have money and you're looking for food and you're looking for shelter and you're kind of scratching to get by, happiness definitely looks like money to you, which is, without it, you can't eat. And it's so sad when you can't eat when there's no food. I remember that. And yet now it's funny. I look at it and I go, "Well, happiness isn't about money." It only took me like six decades around the sun to see that. Let me just ask you to believe that there is a place where you wake up happy, that there's a sensation of waking up happy, of being on purpose, and that this probably isn't a lot closer than you think. It's probably, it could just be inches or molecules away from where you are right now, right now, today. One of the things I say is that happiness is a discipline. And now more than ever in this chaotic year where there's so much change and so much drama, this practice of happiness is going to help everybody even more, even more than it did before, even more than it did five years ago, even more than it did ten years ago. Because as you embody happiness, as you stand for it, as you believe in it, as you open up to your gifts in it, right, as it all comes to you and you share it with others, the gift now just became exponentially more valuable than it was. And this is why you're being called. And this is why you're listening today. It's because standing in this happiness, standing in this joyfulness, this awe, this inner strength of being, as you stand in this, you help so many others who are unclear, who are unsure, who are sad, who are grappling. And I did want to give a shout out to one of my co-authors, Rich Cruse, who passed away recently, and he took the most amazing photographs of sunsets and sunrises, and he took photos for some of my Happiness Quotations books. And I just want to send a shout out to Rich, wherever you are right...
