Happy Life Coaching

I feel so happy this morning.    Someone very dear to me has been sober for 8 months now and got this amazing opportunity to work in the job of his dreams overseas.  I have to admit - I was so worried about him staying sober.  It was my focus.  I journaled last night knowing I had to change the way I was looking at the situation.  I started to write about all the amazing opportunities that awaited him.  It is so layered and so chock full of goodness.  Experiencing a new culture, meeting new people, healing broken ties as a result of addiction AND doing all this through sober eyes!!!  I went to sleep last night hopeful and excited for him.  This morning I woke up and received the greatest email from him saying he was a happy and sober man enjoying the luxuries of business class and the business class lounge at Heathrow airport.  THIS IS HAPPINESS!  I can hope for all the money in the world - the greatest status there is - the most cut body I can conjure up in my brain…  However, it is moments like this that show me what true Happiness is.  Now don’t get me wrong…  The money, status, and kick ass body are all good.  I don’t negate these desires or any other desires we may have.   But when those desires become the focus of our happiness is when we get ourselves in trouble.  Happiness comes from inside.  Happiness comes from giving, caring and sharing your life with people you love and people who can use your help.   What is your definition of HAPPINESS?  Please share and have a wonderful DAY OF THANKS with those around you. M
