You know how good 
the sunshine feels as it warms you on a cold fall day, how it just makes you feel good right down to your toes? That’s how I am feeling lately ~ blessed, joyous. I’m taking life in and enjoying every moment.
There hasn’t been a big catalytic event of happiness in my life. I haven’t won the lotto or landed my dream job! I’ve found the sweet spot of being content with what is.
I’ve always been a seeker, always on the look out for better than my current situation. I believe that it’s good, actually imperative, to go for our dreams and seek out what brings us joy. The key is not letting our future goals rob us of happiness now. Today, this very precious moment, is all that we really have.
I would begin my day dreading going to my day job, praying for it to be a good day (which would mean I wanted everything to go my way). I’ve been on an this endless search for a nonexistent perfect day. I didn’t realize that my days were already perfect, because they played out just as they were meant to. That good day that I was looking for, begins with me, my thoughts and my attitude. I’ve come to realize that no matter what happens around me externally, I can find peace and joy within myself. This new way of thinking is so very freeing. The change had to happen within me.
Are you going about your life wanting things to be different? It’s the “if this would change, than I would be happy” thought. I get that! What if you accepted your job, your boss, your debt, your weight, whatever it may be, just as it is right now? Let go of the battle.
There is magic in acceptance and in finding happiness within ourselves. It gives us power. It opens up the door to attract the very things that we desire most. As Jeannette Maw says, “like energy attracts like energy”. My warm fall day feelings are not only bringing me joy now, but they’re attracting more amazing things to show up in my life tomorrow.
