Happiness comes from living up to my own expectations

Was reading Facebook and this speak to me. That's what I was facing and I overcome it.
Finally realise when I allow myself to be happy and I can then be happy for others even if they are not going my way.

And being happy means being true to my values. What makes others happy may not be for me and its okay. The same as what others are happy may not relate to me.

Exactly the lifetime lesson of Seven of Hearts.

From Facebook
Then one day I had an epiphany. I realised that happiness doesn’t come from living up to other people’s expectations, hopes, wants, and morals. Happiness could only come from inside me by living up to my own, expectations, hopes and wants and, most importantly, forgiving myself when I don’t. Being honest with yourself is the first step to happiness. You will need to constantly ask yourself “What do I want?” And “How do I really feel about this?” You will also need to ask deeper questions like… “What do I believe that attracted this?” “Who does it really belong to and it is true?” -
Our beliefs and our internal dialogue have consequences. They can empower or disempower. They can steal your dreams!

Negative beliefs have stolen happiness from your past, they are currently stealing from your present and they intend to steal from your future happiness. If you look deep enough within you, will find we settle because we don’t believe we deserve our dreams. When in fact most of the concepts we have about ourselves were imposed on us and have nothing to do at all with how our friends see us or more importantly how the Divine sees us. We have therefore created for ourselves a vision of mediocrity that limits our permission to access and own happiness. Once we clear out all the well-meant yet sabotaging thoughts we have running around in our heads we have the chance to find out and aim for what makes us truly happy.  In Romans 14:22 God said: ‘Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.’ Translation… happy is he that does not allow self-condemning and judgemental thoughts to around inside his head.

My spiritual advice for all is one of the Seven Principles of Spiritualism; it is to take personal responsibility. Take responsibility for your sabotaging thoughts and beliefs and take responsibility for the things you need to forgive yourself for; hunt them down one by one, challenge them, confront them, then delete them from your psyche and last but not least: take responsibility for your own happiness. By giving yourself permission to own happiness you give others permission to do the same. You may just start an epidemic…mmm… a world full of happy people…now there’s something to smile about.

Coincidentally, my card today in Venus.
That is about love, particularly loving myself.
Suddenly it dawn on me....when I love myself...I can allow others to love themselves too.
Now I understand why they said before we can love others, we must love ourselves too.
Letting others be themselves, is actually accepting them the way they are, which means loving them.
Now I know why self-love is so important. If we can't love ourselves, chances are we can't love others.
No wonder Sadhguru said if you are joyful on your own, then it doesn't matter about others.
Father, Amen.

My Daily Card
The Ace of Clubs

The Ace of Clubs means a strong desire for knowledge of some kind or the birth of a new idea, plan, or way of communicating with the world around you. This could also mean a desire for some specific information, for an education, or to pursue some new plans you make.
The Ace of Clubs always means a new beginning of some sort. This could be a new job idea or just embarking on a new way of thinking and communicating with others. The exact nature of the beginning will depend on the position of the card and the circumstances in your life at the time, but in general, this is a good time to plan to start something new.

Truly new beginning.
Finally I allow myself to be happy.
Finally I can allow others to be happy too even if that makes me sad..
