Happy Ever After: You Decide the Story of Your Life

Do you know how to be happy and still believe in and react to a scary dangerous world? No? Neither do I. That’s because it can’t be done. Nobody knows how to enjoy a positive life full of loving miracles while also holding onto negative stories of the past and future. Hurtful things may happen, but healing is available to go forward again. The secret to living happily ever after is to identify and replace false limiting ideas about how the Universe works. Your life was planned to be easy and wonderful. You can learn to let the Universe come alive and be your best friend. Join us this Sunday February 8, 2026 for a free empowering talk on how to decide the story of your own life – which presumably you’d like to be happy. If you want to stay unhappy then don’t come to my classes on how you create your own reality.

YES! You create your own reality. Always have, always will. Truths are eternal, so they were always true. What works always worked, what doesn’t work never worked. Your beliefs, values, choices and attitudes determine the story of your life. Life can always be good because it always has goodness to grow. When you grow your own unique goodness then you make life better. Easy, right? The seeds of all things are in all things. Find the seeds of you to forever enjoy. You have a wonderful reason to exist because God doesn’t make junk. You are your own ticket to living happily ever after. Know thyself.

Unless you don’t want to know yourself. Self-avoidance is allowed. Not recommended, but you can treat yourself any way that you choose. That’s all that anyone ever does – we do things to ourselves to demonstrate a lifestyle and then look for others to join us. Groups of people take on roles for each other and pretend to split sides for control. “I’m the winner, you’re the loser. I’m the victim, you’re the bully. I’m the good guy, you’re the bad guy.” People think a way to control life is to control the roles they play. But all they do is filter the bigger picture, where everyone’s affected in their own character.

It’s not easy to give up on being your natural healthy fun self, just to pretend to be something you’re not. But it’s possible. For various reasons, many people choose to not know or be themselves. It’s a lonely hard path, full of pain, failure, and drama. The drama can make it socially busy and entertaining. You can have lots of company in a suffering dying society. Most people are too busy blaming somebody else to notice what they’re doing to be part of an overall pattern. Lots of codependent toxic relationships add to the cover.

“Such terrible things are happening!” Yes, that’s true. “And there’s nothing we can do about it, we’re victims, they owe us justice, wrongdoers must be punished!” No that’s not true, you’re powerful and divine creators doesn’t punish. Punishments just get acted out by groups of consenting adults. Or non-consenting adults. That’s the sad part for those who exploit the unconditional love of the Universe. The Universe wants you to be happy, but it lets you make the final filtering decision. Social groups get trained together to suffer together, sadly including innocent children and animals. Everyone invites their own future by positive loving expectations, or negative fearful expectations. Bullies and victims both suffer, however differently. Everyone’s a victim in negative realities.

We need to challenge ourselves if we want to leave suffering. We must challenge ourselves to live happily ever after at a time when so many people are choosing to remain miserable and ignorant of how good life can be.

For this meetup, think of your life as an epic story. What major chapters have you already read? How has your character changed over the years, what milestones come to mind? Where do you feel like a victim and need more solutions and confidence? After some check-ins to share and relate, I’ll explain how we each create our own life story from the beliefs and lifestyle examples we meet. We can separate positive from negatives beliefs to focus on the expectations that we prefer, and learn to create positive outcomes from even the negative situations. We’ll see how lifestyle choices affect us through 7 stages of human growth, and conclude with a guided meditation to be done with old patterns so we can cocreate with our higher selves to live out happy great destinies.
