"When we can't access our inner resources, we
come to the flawed conclusion that happiness and fulfillment come only
from external events.."
~Sarah Ban
Breathnach, Simple Abundance
Good
morning!
i
I don't know about you,
but I have made this mistake before. I have spent time continually
looking for happiness in the external. The problem with that search is
that our happiness becomes co-dependent. Instead of having a well to
draw on from
within, we require external events to "lift us up." Not only is that
unfair to the events or people we are relying upon, it is unfair to
ourselves because the happiness we create is conditional We all deserve
unconditional joy and happiness within our own heart.
We deserve to have that
sense of peace internally, regardless of what is happening around us.
The intensity of that happiness might fluctuate with what our external
world offers, but it is there nonetheless.
Sarah is very accurate in
her assessment. When we can't (or choose not to) access our inner
resources, is when we look to the external to "fill us up." Since we
can't figure out how to create the reality we need, we turn to others
and ask or expect them to do it
for us.
To break out of that
mold, we have to access our inner resources. We have to learn the
skills to turn our questions inward instead of outward. We have to
accept responsibility that happiness begins right where we are, not
outside of where we are.
How do we do this? There
are many things in life we can't or don't control, but we do control
our attitude and our perceptions. After we accept that fact, we create
a space in our life to access those inner resources. We create quiet
time, reflection time. We engage in activities that promote
self-awareness, self-discovery, and self-reflection. We feed our souls
with positive affirmations and positive people. We turn away and don't
accept the negative into our thoughts and perceptions. We embrace that
which nurtures us, we reject the rest.
Your Turn:
Get out your calendar and schedule in a space for self-reflection and
self-discovery. Choose to look inward versus outward in order to begin
discovering lasting joy in your daily life.
Your
affirmation:
Within me is everything I need to experience lasting joy.
