I Have Trouble Minding My Own Business

Simplifying Life OR Cut To The Chase

Simplifying Life OR Cut To The Chase

Simplifying Life

More than I wanted money, I wanted Freedom.
Money = Freedom, I wanted me some of that!

More than I wanted Love, I wanted Belonging, Adoration, Security and Value (someone who knows my worth),
Love = all those things, and oh baby, I wanted me some of that!

More than Love, Freedom, Security, Belonging, Adoration and Value, I wanted Peace of Mind,
All of those things = Peace of Mind, and Peace of Mind = Happiness.

Now I KNOW I want me some big piles of that! (covered in chocolate).

And that’s what it boils down to you guys: I want what I want — Because I  know that I will feel happier having it.

Simple as that.

That made me realize how conditional my happiness is (and how high maintenance I really am), and the fact that I’m just starting to really grasp the concept of chasing happiness all over hell and back while it sits at the kitchen table with coffee and the paper, patiently waiting for me…

What about you? I don’t think I’m alone in this?

Thoughts?

I feel a part two of this post coming soon…

Big love & carry on,

xox

    oh man, my happiness could have a huge checklist….but what I have tried to do , at the end of the day, is remember 3 things that I am grateful for , that bring me joy….I LOVE what Dominator said , I am going to try thinking that way as well…

    Thoughts!?…
    Hell yes, it made me think. Bear with me for a little mental masturbation (it’s a good thing!)

    If we assume that happiness is a state of mind (or emotion), being happy is available now.
    Gratitude, meditation, blogging (sharing thoughts) are great tools.
    The point is not to seek happiness, a very nebulous concept at best, but to find a little happy now and to make yourself a little HAPPIER, one minute, one hour, one day at a time.
    Beatitude, the supreme happiness, is reserved for when we return to source.

    OK, my brain hurts now… Back to my happy place!

    It seems like I have known for a very long time that happiness is an inside job. Having said that, we live in a society that daily bombards us with us messages about the “it” we need to consume to achieve happiness, so I regularly get seduced into thinking something “out there” will cloak me in it like a new birthday suit. It’s the stuff of addiction. The fix only lasts so long and then I need a refill. Yeah, I can definitely see a part two in the future.

      Right Nancy? So we chase “happiness”. I’m guilty of it, I think we all are. But…there’s more to it than that. Part II.
