Take Action, Take Heart<br />
<br />
<br />
"Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold, the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul." - Democritus (460?-370? BC)<br />
<br />
<br />
Focus on the chase, the process, the journey—not the end result! At the end of the day, happiness is not about the big house, the money, or the material goods. The thrill is in the satisfaction of pushing our envelope and working hard. Happiness lives in the meaning and purpose we find in our lives. Melt into the process. Enjoy the ride.…

Hi Violette,<br />
<br />
Your words are so true! At the lowest points in my life during my late twenties, realization set in that my depression was always about what was happening to me, how my life was being affected, why wasn't I accomplishing greatness. My life was overcome with I and ME. My focus became to give, give, give to others. My feeling of gratitude comes directly from stopping the me and focusing on the we. I now look at others and focus on how I can be a positive to someone else's…

it seems that when i am in the flow of feeling grateful, appreciative of the simple beauty in my day, in my moments, that it builds on itself, it gets easier with each bit that i add...and as that is happening, my sense of time changes, so that it can feel like "all the time" for even just a few moments - wonderful to work with, to notice, to feel as a reality<br />

<br />
Well said, Kari. I love the way u say what is on your mind. In my studies with those a few steps ahead of me, I have found there i s more to gratitude than I previously knew.<br />
<br />
Gratitude is something to choose to feel . It comes easily for those times of hugging a warm and friendly doggie, or a young sweet child , but for the challenging things like worrisome folks or the car breaking down in busy traffic ,hmmm. that's another story.<br />
<br />
So when those challenging times come up,I practice <u>choosing</u> gratitude. We can all ask Source within to create its own knowing of how to feel gratitude when we just don't feel like it.With the same will and choice to say "Screw this , it won't bother me any more than I let it bother me," we may choose gratitude.<br />
<br />
I mentioned in an earlier response that researchers have found that gratitude has a healthy effect on the body and its systems.It has a higher resonance than conditional love. So, there is the quality of life one chooses to experience and the quality of what one transmits to others and the environment to consider , if we like, as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
warm regards,<br />
