We have not been given the right to happiness.
We have been given the right to the pursuit of happiness.
I know that happiness is an emotion
it comes and goes
I can experience it, but cannot hold on to it.
It is ephemeral,
somewhere on the emotional continuum
between contentment
and ecstatic
Being with you makes me happy.
Working hard all week
so that I can have a free weekend with you
makes me happy.
Today is the day
I tap into my passion for life
and continue
my pursuit of happiness.
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
