Happiness...it’s an inside job!
There is a difference between transitory (temporary) happiness and genuine (sustained) happiness.
Temporary happiness satisfies our cravings momentarily and often leave us desiring more, while genuine happiness fuels our Soul and leave us feeling rejuvenated, more at peace and tapped into sensations that go beyond the physical experience.
And the truth is, we all have access to an infinite source of sustained happiness — but most of the time we search for it in the wrong places, seeking external items, relationships or circumstances as validation of our worthiness and joy.
We place unrealistic expectations on them, and in turn feel lost and empty when they are no longer in our lives — we create our own suffering based on attachments and addictions to sources that we know are not serving our highest Self.
In a world of constant change and impermanence, our inner happiness is the most important aspect to cultivate if we want to live this life fully — receiving and sharing the gifts of this human embodiment!
It’s the only thing we can rely to be permanent.
Because when we we feel supported, seen and heard (loved) from within, every other form and expression of love that comes our way is an added bonus. We can then offer that love back out into the world without becoming depleted or dependent.
This type of fulfillment must go beyond the body and mind — it has to awaken the Spirit, tapping into the hearts innate wisdom, softening us into pure presence.
It’s a constant practice of effort and intention, a willingness to consistently show up and a sustained desire for peace.
Our Spiritual practices are the pre-requisite — they are like a daily dose of medicine for the Soul that allow us to tap into a place of connection and gratitude, so we can walk through the world more positively, with ease, and celebration.
They bring us into an unchanging oasis within the heart, the space that is overflowing with peace and presence, fulfilling us deeply from the inside out.
And the best part is that these practices are accessible and available for all!
It only takes commitment to living in alignment with your highest Self — a readiness to deepen your path and enthusiasm to cultivate more love.
Are you ready to live in alignment?
