At the heart of the melancholy we feel is that we miss the women we were meant to be.
But the good news is that even if you have ignored her overtures for years (“wear
red…cut your hair…study art in Paris… travel more…learn the tango) your authentic
Self has not abandoned you. Instead she has been waiting patiently for you to recognize
Her and reconnect.
Listen to the whispers of your heart. At long last the journey you long for has begun.
It is difficult to experience moment of happiness if we are not aware of what it is that we genuinely love.
We must learn to savor small, authentic moments that bring us contentment. Experiment with a new
Recipe. Take the time to slowly arrange a bouquet of flowers to appreciate the colors, fragrance and
beauty. Sip a cup of tea on the front stoop in the sunshine. Simple pleasures can be enjoyed that are often
over looked. We have to be willing to discover and then appreciate the authentic moments of happiness
available to all of us every day.
Grasp the awareness of what it is that makes us truly happy. Consider your personal preferences and
learn how to recognize, then embrace, moments of happiness that are uniquely our own.
Lets stop thinking that things outside our control will make us happy, the luxury car, a bigger kitchen.
Make peace with the knowledge that you cant have everything you want. Why? Because its more
Important for us to get everything we need. Like infants we feel contentment when our essential needs are
met. Be courageous, ask yourself: what is it I truly need in order to make me happy? Its only after we
acknowledge our inner needs that we then have the energy to create those needs into our lives.
