It's good to have Hurricane Irma in the rear-view mirror- but with every catastrophe comes lessons! I'm so glad to still have a house to come home to, fresh water and food. Every "little" thing becomes a BIG thing when you don't have them! I've learned that if I focus my life on helping others, my own personal growth and relationships, I experience MUCH more happiness in my life than focusing my attention on money, my image or my status.
These are the things that are 100% within my control and focusing my energy on these things that really matter makes me happier! If my energy is focused on "outer" things, like what people think of me, I've lost control over my life and given that control away to other people.
If I focus my energy on just trying to make money, or wearing the nicest clothes or just trying to impress people into thinking how wonderful I am - it's a pretty empty life! Anything that is focused 100% outside of me will pretty much guarantee my unhappiness.
Sowing the seeds of happiness means focusing on what's happening inside of me - not what's outside! If I focus on what's outside of me - it's like living life on a hamster wheel - I'm stuck going round-and-round in circles. Maybe you know someone who wears the "right" clothes, drives the newest car, knows all the "right" people and yet - they're not happy! Maybe you know someone that doesn't have the newest car, doesn't make the big bucks, doesn't live in the nicest house and yet - they ARE happy!
What's the secret? Look inside yourself for your happiness. Be 100% grateful for EVERYTHING you have - including running water, air-conditioning and food!
Spend time doing the things you love, surrounded by the people the people you love. Look for ways you can help other people make their lives easier. Look for ways to improve your own life!
Happiness radiates from within - so I'm challenging you to take inventory of your life today - look at the wonderful things in your life that REALLY matter and be 100% grateful for everything around you - right now!
