 Look
deeply into your own heart. Are you really happy? Is there something you
think needs to happen before you can be happy? Are you sure that IF that
something occurred, you would truly be happy then? Would it be enough?
Would you notice?
Manifest means: To bring or attract
something into your life that you desire (money, health, relationships).
I believe that our life is about segments that make life matter, and how
to have more of them. It is about experiencing fulfillment and meaning
in your life now, not when you have more money, or find the right lover,
or achieve your perfect weight, but in this and every present moment. It
is about how to rediscover precious moments with your mate and your
children, precious moments with your work and your play, and, most of
all, precious moments with yourself.
As we approach mid-life, many of us stand
at an emotional and spiritual intersection. We've achieved some of the
successes we dreamed of; we've acquired some of the material possessions
we wanted; we've had the children or relationship we were supposed to;
we've done the things we thought would bring us happiness. But, when we
ask ourselves "Am I Happy?" we aren't always sure of the
answer. We look at our lives, question our values, and wonder whether
the choices that we've made have been the correct ones.
Is there a spiritual and emotional void
in America? Have we substituted years of quantity for quality, and
stimulation for substance? Have we created a world of men and women who
often do not know how to experience instant moments of happiness?
We spend our lives preparing for the
future, rather than enjoying the present. We've become experts at doing
but not at being. The result is that we have lost our ability to
appreciate and experience joy, in the "now," and we are left
searching desparately and often unsuccessfully for meaning.
We experience happiness not because of
what we get, but because of how we live each moment in time. Happiness
is not an acquisition, but a skill, the skill of finding meaning in
every precious moment by living it consciously and completely.
