The Pursuit of Happyness - Part 2

I now believe that it is more important to think and reflect on what we want to create, than to be a person who is "action-oriented".

I now believe that it is more important to think and reflect on what we want to create, than to be a person who is "action-oriented".

"The journey into the heart is our future and our only way of creating a future. It is movement toward wholeness, integrity, and compassion. It is the healing each of us longs for and the healing that each of us must accomplish if we are to move forward into our fullest potential." Gary Zukav in The Seat of the Soul

Reflection is the habit of digging deep to understand why you do what you do and what you don't do.

  • Am I having fun?
  • Does what I'm doing right now bring me joy?
  • Is this a mission or an adventure?
  • Am I following my love or my destiny?
  • Am I grateful for the opportunity to do what I am doing right now?

For now, if you are not living a life filled with joy, having fun, in love with what you're doing, and full of gratitude - then I suggest this would be an excellent time to set aside some time each day and start asking yourself some important questions.

Full actualization of your potential and growth will only come about when you make a commitment to examine your life and explore your identity.

REMEMBER YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED THE BEST PART OF YOUR LIFE.

  • What do you truly want for yourself this year?
  • What do you have to let go?
  • How do you have to grow?
  • What do you want to learn?
  • What will you commit to doing differently this year so you will stop and say with wonder and pride next December, "WOW look at what I've achieved this year"

Hurry Up and slow down...your best life is waiting!
