When was last time you felt so free that you danced around? When was last time you laughed so hard you almost cried? We lose laughter in our lives as we disconnect from that inner child. We get so buried in stress, trying to do "right thing" for everyone else, that we lose ourselves. When we stop, give that little kid inside of us a great big hug, and honor his or her needs, we begin to find laughter and peace again.

Allow little child inside of you to be key to your inner peace. This little kid is your connection to God...your heart and your soul. As you walk through life each day, honoring and loving this child's needs, surrendering your mental games to God, laughter will fill your heart, and so will peace.

I usually spot these beliefs by how hard one tries; as if only by some superhuman effort can one deserve any happiness at all. If you are harboring such destructive beliefs, you will remain separate from your heart. Recognize these beliefs for what they are: absolute, complete and life-destroying lies. They are not truth of you.

The truth is you are spiritual light being, a child of God, sweet and lovable, pure and simple. Embrace it. Inhale it. Remember it. Believe it! And stop trying. You are loved and lovable. You don't have to work for it. It is there for you because of who you are.

If you have lost touch with this truth, take in a slow breath. Do you question your right to air? Of course not. You take in air without effort by virtue of being human. In same way, receive from Universe what lies in your heart, by virtue of being divine. So be it! Happy creating!
