Mine has changed drastically as I have aged. Fame and fortune blinded my early years.
Childhood trauma stole years from my mid 20’s until mid 50’s.
Lost and suffering clouded any purpose I had.
Healing and meditating brought clarity and a clear purpose, to be happy.
Matthew Ricard says our purpose in life is to be “Happy”.
Happiness takes surrendering to your fears, stockpiling enormous amounts of gratitude, then helping others less fortunate on this path.
Happiness comes to humble, aware souls who let the “Egos” selfishness fade with a lack of attention.
Happiness has nothing to do with achievement, adulation, success or approval.
Can you imagine being happy in stressful, awkward situations.
Accepting life’s challenges is the fork in the road we need to choose.
As long as I show up enthusiastic and give all out effort, the results do not matter.
Behaving like this gives us the best chance for success anyway.
