HOW DO WE CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY?

Self Exploration-The Terrain of Heart and Soul
What do you really value in life? Perhaps you have taken some time lately to reflect on what resonates within you-those ideas and convictions that need no outside validation. Because of demands on your time, you might not contemplate your values as often as you would like. Yet, it’s important to make a conscious connection with those values that govern your life-the foundations upon which your life is both anchored and navigated; things like family, humor, and respect. To help you explore your values further, try this exercise:

Locate a comfortable environment free from noise and distractions. Reflect on the following questions and listen to your heart and conscience.

• If I had to walk away from everything I ever loved, what would be left behind?
• What would I miss most if it were taken from me?
• What’s of greatest importance or value in my life?

As you go about your week, it will be vitally important to determine whether or not there is consistency between where you spend your time and what you value most.

Standards

So this is what they mean by the soft bigotry of low expectations… avoid self-preoccupation. There are many others who need the assistance that only you can offer. Develop more patience and value: the calm that can be yours. Look for good in people, places and happenings. Let your wardrobe incline a bright, pleasant expression. A ready smile makes a fashionable accessory. Today, keep your standards beyond reproach.
