If the Grim Reaper showed up and said you have five minutes, what would you do?
Have we been draining our happiness? Is it that other people and outside events influence us? Happiness is ultimately an inside job. Peace comes from your soul out. You have to disconnect external forces and give yourself permission to be happy in each moment without the need for anything more.
I guess it would depend on what you think about it. Will you be grateful for what you have and find peace in that or concentrate on what you don’t have? The choice is yours to make.
Although there is nothing you can do about your past or lost happiness, there is plenty you can do about the things to come. Here is what I know for sure: if you are feeling lost and as if you are in a sucking swirling eddy of despair and you keep circling that drain, you have to start asking yourself, “Are the people around me helping or hurting me?”
A big part of who you become in life has to do with who you surround yourself with, and it is better to be alone than in bad company. You simply can’t live an active and fulfilling life if you continue to surround yourself with negative people and naysayers.
Intuition is an infallible guide for letting you know when you need to change and also, what direction to take. If you feel bored, uninterested or drained, that is your intuition communicating change is necessary. Go in a new direction.
Life is short. If you think about it, it is brief and fleeting. Wouldn’t you rather live it peacefully?
Remember to keep the circle positive, peaceful and loving. ©
