Take a look at your shoes. What reasons did you have for buying them? Was it the style or color? Or maybe the price was right. Regardless, there's a good chance you bought them because you were convinced you would feel better once you owned those shoes.
Think about all the choices we make: the new job; the new cell phone; last night's dessert; next summer’s vacation. Each choice represents a missing piece in our quest for happiness.
We all want to feel better more often. It's what motivates us to do just about everything. Whether it's the latest style, a tropical beach or a piece of chocolate, we're telling ourselves that when we have it, we will feel better.
Trouble is the feeling is often fleeting. Very soon we’re on to the next 'must have' on the list. This is the one. This one will do it. How long is your list?
If you want to feel better more often, then feel better more often. Sound too simple? Well, the truth is you create the feeling; not the sunset, not the perfect boss and certainly not another pair of shoes. When you feel better first you get what you want first! Then something happens to your choices. They become 'add ons' rather than 'must haves'. And you may be surprised to find out you really don't need those shoes!
My wish for you this holiday season is that you discover how to create the feelings you want inside yourself and find your own peace on earth!
