Circle of Trust:   Appreciate what you have

What is happiness?  There are things that can bring “happy” feelings that are short lived such as getting to talk to a friend or family member that you love, buying something new, or having a good meal.  But really, deep meaningful happiness comes from just being good and having  satisfaction with your life.  In addition, there is a link between gratitude and happiness.  In fact, I believe that it may be the most important ingredient to true happiness.  We live in a material obsessed country.  Oftentimes, once we get it we are onto the next thing in short order.  What will make you happier is to take time to appreciate what you do have.  People often say things like “well at least you have your health”.  We say “yeah” and move on.  Stop and think about the people that don’t have their health.  Think of all the PAX dealing with cancer.  Being thankful for health for sure.  Be thankful for your kids even though they can frustrate you or rip your heart out sometimes.  There are people who want kids and can’t have them or had a child and lost them.  Be thankful for your job in spite of the stresses.  Many people would love to have a job that don’t have one.  You don’t need to feel guilty about having these things just because other’s done, just be thankful for them.  True happiness follows.
