Hi Tribers! I felt compelled to share this with you now and perhaps this will resonate w some.
What if… is that easy?
Happiness is an inside job. Yes? You probably have heard this many times. If not, well you just read it.
But why?
Happiness itself is a combo of joyful moments, that YOU generate via your perception of all… yes?
But more often than not, we forget that.
We say things like:
Once I am healthier, I will go on a hike.
Once I make stable income, I will buy a keyboard.
Once I get married, I will wear my new dresses.
When I have more money, will clean my car, house, closet…
When I have more time, will start piano, going to the gym, doing yoga, gardening, have kids, go on vacation…
Whatever… insert (that which you think will make you happy).
But why is it conditional?
why not: BE the person you want to be that can DO the things you want to do and HAVE the things you want to have?
I play piano and make myself happy.
I go on hikes w my dogs and make myself happy.
I do yoga and make myself happy.
Once a make more money, I will make more impact?
Heck, I am making an impact right now! Even w this post…
Nothing has to be conditional, dictated by external circumstances! NOTHING!!!!
Happiness is an inside job!
Where else in your life are you been conditional, putting YOUR happiness into the power of something outside of you?
When did you abandon that inner joyful child that playfully approached everything with wonder and got all serious, grumpy and always not so satisfied, wanting more, not living in the moment?
I challenge you to sit down for 5 mins and contemplate these questions…
A good practice is gratitude journal. 3x a day, write down 5-10 things you are grateful for.
Add playing one song! To seal the practice. But really feel it. Then go on w your day and your business.
