Sustained Happiness
The secret to sustained happiness is knowing you're on your path.
This brilliant photo was taken a few weeks ago in Bali. I was happy, but my happiness was short-lived. I felt ungrounded and off my path. I lost confidence in my sense of direction and felt like I was going in circles.
Once again, I was reminded that if there's one secret to sustained happiness, it's having a clear direction. Simply knowing that you're on your path.
When you are walking clearly along your intended path, you experience real joy, a true sense of inner peace. Likewise, when you know with certainty that the path you're walking is right, challenges and difficulties are not a problem—they are just part of the journey.
As with so many things in life, half the battle is simply crystallizing the direction, aligning with our inner GPS. The penalty for not doing so can lead to restlessness and feeling unfulfilled.
As a wise man once said, our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at things that don't really matter.
Happy walking.
