SEARCHING
Searching for what we already have...........how many of us do this over and over. You know what I'm talking about, when you experience something, see something or feel something and you know deep in your heart, there's something else out there that's better and so you get stuck in the endless cycle of chasing the elusive concept of happiness.
It was said best in the Wizard of Oz.........
YOU are everything you need. There is no reason to look outside for happiness and acceptance.
When we look to replace people and things with something better, newer, bigger, we are really saying to ourselves that we are not enough.
Once you learn to love yourself, you cultivate, nourish and grow what you have to be the best "it" (you) can be. Wouldn't it be a better place if we learned how to appreciate what we have and be thankful for the "riches" that are already ours? Instead of replacing, how about enhancing what is already in your life? Life seemed so much easier back in the day. They didn't have version 1, 2, 3, 4, they made something and it was made in such a way that if it broke it was easily fixed and sometimes it outlasted the person. Divorce was unheard of, for two people valued the feeling of being in love and they worked hard even in the hardest times to make it work, always reminding themselves---their relationship started out in love, gratitude and admiration, so that feeling was still there and it was important enough to fight and work for that gift. We don't fall in love with everyone we meet so the ones that we do fall in love with are definitely worth working for. Same thing with friends, there are only few, maybe even one that we consider to be "family", it is just as important to be grateful and work on these relationships as well.
Love yourself and those around you.
