It Will Make Us Happy
Our focus this week — Sep 3–9: “Goodwill”
Today’s MotD: It Will Make Us Happy. We are encouraged to wish others well because it will make us happy…which may be challenging for us to believe. The alternative (being resentful, jealous, angry, and the like) will make us miserable…no joy to be found there.
We’re being reminded that being in the “alternative” state puts us in victim mode (feeling miserable and helpless)…AND that it’s a choice. Having choice empowers us. So the next time we catch ourselves feeling the “alternative” due to other people’s good fortune, remember…we have a choice as to how we want to respond.
We can choose to feel envious of them or we can choose to feel happy for them. Remember we have to feel it in order to project it towards someone else. Thus it comes down to: do we want to feel miserable or do we want to feel happy ?
How about you ? Would you rather feel miserable or happy for someone else’s good fortune ? Do you realize you have a choice as to how you respond ? Thus, do you want to feel like a victim or do you want to feel empowered ?
BTW…Here’s the before…the front and back view of today’s puzzle piece and the pretty ceramic box that holds all my numbers from which I randomly choose each day’s puzzle piece number:
Peace & Blessings,

ABOUT THE 2025 Mandalas of the Day
Throughout the year, I’ll be building one large (48”x48”) Tibetan-styled Mandala one piece at a time…one puzzle piece at a time, that is. The mandala design and the reversed puzzle side were printed on artist-quality watercolor paper. The forward facing puzzle side was printed on a 48”x48” wood panel.
Each day, at random, I’ll be painting in watercolors one of the 365 watercolor puzzle pieces, that by the end of the year will become Archangel Mandala #4. Read more about the Archangel Series. The word/message for each piece will be inspired by Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact”.
Ultimately, the message of this mandala is about how we are all uniquely part of the one.
