Have You Gotten Happiness Yet?

When was the last time you were really happy? For many of us, we can't really recall. In fact, for most people it's much easier to name off several things we don't like, than do.

Taken today of the cosmos, late bloom in the fall.

We all want to be happy, this is true! So, let me ask you, what would make you happy?
If you didn't need to work, and money didn't matter, what would you do? 

What would fulfill you in life?

If you have an answer to these questions, consider if you woke up and it happened tomorrow?

Do you still feel achievement from the goals/desires you previously wanted? Like when you won that soccer game in 3rd grade, getting that Christmas present you just HAD to have last year, or maybe your high school graduation? Did that fulfill you, and continue to fulfill you?

I will answer, that personally, most of my accomplishments do not stand true today, when it comes to fulfillment. Before you won that soccer game, or got that diploma, you REALLY wanted it. You believed it would make you happy. You believed that landing this job would make everything perfect in life.

It's very important to us as humans to have goals in our lives, and to seek purpose.

Practicing gratitude at the end of every day can greatly reshape the human mind to see the positives. 

Try this at the end of every day for 3 weeks, I promise you won't regret it.

Today I am Thankful For... (list 5 things minimum)

1. Having heat in my car, it's getting colder outside.
2. My friends to watch movies with.
3. The delicious dinner I was able to make.
4. That I'm able to feel the wind.
5. Having hands to type this blog.

No repeats, tomorrow, try to think of new things that happened and you are thankful for.

Taken today of the zinnia, still vibrate into the fall.

Happiness is obtainable, you've had everything you needed all along. No fancy sport car, or job change is going to give you anything that you don't already have.

Lower your stress, be thankful, and accept when things go wrong. This, too, shall pass.

Remember to continue to grow and challenge yourself.

Be the conductor of your life. You are Purpose.
