“I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.”
― Jim Carrey
Internal Fulfillment
Believing happiness is achieved externally, I spent the early part of my life chasing them.
While after having achieved a feat or purchased something, that feeling did not last. But after going inward and filling myself with contentment, I’ve learned that happiness and fulfillment come from within.
No one or anything in the world can make me feel whole and complete unless I experience that internally. It’s not something that is found outside of me. Rather, it has everything to do with how I view the world.
It’s my relationship with myself. My mindset and mentality toward life play a key role.
An important reminder I always recall is this:
The journey is the reward.
It’s quintessential for me to practice happiness on the path to enjoying all the temporary destinations.
To allow this, I create time and space to reflect on and celebrate all of my successes and wins.
The beautiful gift of life is having the ability to appreciate the process, no matter what each day may bring.
It’s about the moments that make life memorable, worthwhile, exciting, and meaningful.
“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”
― Oprah Winfrey
Create Abundance
Gratitude plays an important role in my overall happiness.
That’s because when I focus on what already have, I feel abundant and full.
There’s no room left in my heart to desire more.
What I have is enough.
Knowing I have worked hard for all of my current possessions, I give them love while being patient for what is to come. They all have added value to my life by creating unforgettable memories.
And every day, I take stock of my essentials.
This also applies to my relationships with others.
I’m thankful for everyone I have met, regardless of what role they have played in my life. If it weren’t for this cast of characters, I would not be the man I am today.
Additionally, I’m grateful for the memories we have created.
And for those who choose to stay with reciprocation and care, I continue to invest and nourish those connections.
“The time is now, the place is here. Stay in the present. You can do nothing to change the past, and the future will never come exactly as you plan or hope for.”
― Dan Millman
Live in the Now
The present moment is priceless.
By giving my full attention to it, I am enjoying life consciously at all times.
This eliminates dwelling in the past or fantasizing about the future. Life is a journey.
And I am exactly where I need to be.
It’s a continuous practice to choose contentment to be happy at my current location.
Life is not a race.
The path is unique to me.
No matter what happens, I can choose how I want to act and respond to external circumstances at every moment.
In that responsibility holds my power. And it is entirely up to me what I decide.
