Searching for Happiness?

"Most people are searching for happiness outside of themselves. That's a fundamental mistake. Happiness is something you are, and it comes from the way you think."  -Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.

If you are looking for happiness outside of yourself, it will always elude you. Happiness is not a thing, it is a feeling; A way of being in the world. It can't be bought or sold, or held in your hands. It is within you to find...to be. Quiet your fears/ your mind. Listen to your inner divine being. That is where you will find your happiness.

You are you, not what you do!

"Don't equate your self-worth with how well you do things in life. You aren't what you do. If you are what you do, then when you don't...you aren't."  -Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.

I believe that this was one of the biggest facades of life that I believed to be true...I equated my self-worth with what I did...and that opened me up to a mother load of problems. Any criticism at all was a personal affront to my feelings of worthiness...it meant I failed!! I was always trying to please others and would feel devastated when I received no acknowledgement...but I tried/worked so hard!!

My Ego was through the roof!! What a hot mess of tears, frustration, sadness and anger I was!! I have since put in a lot of reflection and reading and work to rediscover that I AM ENOUGH!!! What I do is NOT who I am or what I am worth to others...at least not in the grand scheme of things. I am so much happier now that I have put the Ego to bed for a loooooonnnggg rest and I know that criticism is to my benefit, not to be afraid of!!
