ARE WE LOST?

Sometimes everyone feels lost. For different reasons, we feel we are adrift and unable to get a true bearing of where we want to go. This feeling is accentuated in times like this where there is economic stress and many people worry about jobs and income. Our nature is to generally be optimistic about the future and to plan accordingly. Since the present is ever fleeting, ironically we are always thinking about the future. 

We should ask ourselves if we are happy with the way things are now in our lives. If the answer is yes, then you are very fortunate. But for the vast majority of us, we are often filled with doubt. Most people are never certain of what they want and because of this, they fall prey to what they think they want, what their parents want, or what somebody wants for them and so they spend their time chasing goals that make other people happy but not themselves.

Instead, is it important to focus your energy and thoughts of what is really important to you and by striving to achieve this, you will increase your opportunity to happiness.

It is a liberating experience to be certain about anything especially what it is that will make you most happy, and as long as it doesn’t decrease someone else’s happiness, you should pursue it!

I hope the monthly forums will be helpful. Good luck!
