Happiness Is A Choice

Cate: Cate calling Goldilocks. Come in, please, over

Goldilocks: Goldilocks here, Cate, I read you, over. What do you have to report?

Cate: All kinds of great stuff. Another great money gain. Global Cash Flow Network is refunding me $694 and I don't have to incur shipping by sending the materials back. They are allowing me to keep them just like Dan Kuschell's office. And the $2000 refund from that office is going back on my Capitol One Master Card, exactly where I want it.

Goldilocks: I'm happy for you, Cate. What else?

Cate: I am feeling more and more harmonious with the universe. Every time I call a company to check on a return, they've already put the credit back on my card or they've just received the item back that day. It is amazing. I feel in the flow. Sunday, my releasing day, I was listening to one of Ken's clean-up CD's and I momentarily slipped into that quiet, peaceful, place where I had no problems or desires and I felt perfectly safe. I just wish it would last longer.

Goldilocks: (thoughtfully) Hmmm. Could it be you're into "wanting?"

Cate: Oh, I'm sure I am. But it's so human to want to hold onto the good feelings isn't it?

Goldilocks: True, but didn't Lester say when you try to hold onto the nice/good feelings, you're suppressing the negative ones? If that's true, I wonder what that would do to your releasing.

Cate: (sounding miffed) It would stop. (thinking out loud) And then I'd be negative again and feel louzy.

Goldilocks: Uh huh, that would be my guess.

Cate: (continues with thought process) ...And all feelings want to leave whether they're good or bad and I'd be damming the flow...

Goldilocks: See, you knew the answer all the time.

Cate: You're very good at helping me see the light.

Goldilocks: Not really. You're the one that's doing it. I'm just giving you a couple of gentle nudges now and then.

Cate: Sometimes you should hit me over the head with a brick.

Goldilocks: (feigning outrage) Certainly not! This is a non-violent war.

Cate: Then why do I feel so beat up all the time?

Goldilocks: Because you're still wearing blinders. But you're getting better. Remember, happiness is a decision. So what's it gonna be?

Cate: Funny, Larry said the same thing last night; "happiness is a choice, so what do you choose?"

Goldilocks: And?

Cate: Well, one of my goals is "I allow myself to be 100% happy and secure in myself at all times by releasing only (saying "yes").

Goldilocks: And have you been practicing it?

Cate: I'm trying, but staying in release from moment to moment is such a challenge in today's world.

Goldilocks: Hmmm. I see what you mean. Have you tried surrendering to Beingness?

Cate: (frustration in voice) When I remember, yes.

Goldilocks: I'm detecting some negativity coming through. Are you beating yourself up?

Cate: (under breath) Always.

Goldilocks: I didn't copy. Repeat, please.

Cate: You win, Goldilocks, I'm choosing to be happy. Right now.

Goldilocks: (lightly, playfully) Good choice! (pause) ah oh, I hear jamming. Ego is up to His old tricks. Gotta go. Goldilocks out.

Cate: Thanks, Goldilocks, talk to you soon.
