Episode Description
Most people's ultimate goal in life is to be happy. Seems simple enough. Happiness is something we can choose to have but we can also choose not to. One way we separate our self from being happy is we place so many conditions on when we can be happy. I will be happy when I get the new car, or when I get married. We keep pushing our happiness further into the future. We also keep changing the goals - as we get the new car just before our wedding, we change the happiness factor and now the goal is when you, perhaps land that ideal job. So there you are sitting in your new car with your new spouse and it's time to take a look at being happy, now! Happiness is embracing all that we have and are, right now. Happiness will never arrive so long as you focus on what you don't have!! Join us as happiness awaits in this moment.
Things Worth Considering
Thursday at 5 PM Pacific Time/8 PM Eastern Time on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel
This is a show about connections. Connections to your self, your spirit, your feelings and your story. One of the most powerful healing tools we have is our connections. Connect to your intuition and explore your AHA moments. Discover how we get in our own way and how we can overcome obstacles to move on. How we think, what we think, what we believe, and our attitudes define how we experience our life. The fascinating idea that we shape our reality to what we believe it should be, in our minds. How we connect to our families, our aging family members and slowly we become caregivers, not caretakers.
Embracing the reality of aging, not into senior citizens but living the archetypal Elder, the Wise One. Living the Spiritual idea of being of service but not being someone’s servant. As we explore the many roads of the human journey with our guests, we will connect to each other by embracing many of the mysteries of life and there we arrive at things worth considering.
