Today, after having a really great weekend, I can feel the insecurity settling into my very bones. I've been holding it at bay for a while...it was only a matter of time before it finally caught up with me.
There are too many obstacles.
There are too many complications.
There's too much potential for hurt for too many people.
I can't be responsible for someone else's happiness or unhappiness.
There are too many fears.
I'm not good enough.
I don't deserve to be happy.
I don't deserve to be happy.
I don't deserve to be happy.

Here is a wonderful key to happiness: to be happy, give up the belief you must deserve happiness. Deserving is treacherous. The idea you have to deserve happiness is born from guilt and unworthiness, and guilt is hell. The moment you believe you must deserve happiness you condemn yourself to a life of hell in which you struggle, sacrifice, strive and judge yourself constantly.
To have to deserve happiness is to deny happiness is your essence. Do we insist a rose must deserve its own fragrance, the sun its own light, the ocean its water? No! Happiness is natural; and we require no Trojan horse to be happy.
The words "you don’t deserve happiness" are not, therefore, a message of doom and gloom; they are a message of hope. Deserving is unnecessary. It is an illusion. The key to happiness is: you don’t deserve to be happy, you decide to be happy.
To be happy, choose happiness.

as upbeat as I sound about things, I feel the same way today...and this weekend...and many other days. No matter all the great things around me.
