The pursuit of happiness changes

From the chase of things on the outside- wealth, standing, holidays, gadgets, high end bikes, watches, elite golf clubs…

To deepening on the inside.

There’s a turning point where doing and accumulating lose their shine.

Call it a crisis of meaning.

Restlessness. Irritability. Sadness masquerading as numbness are all present.

A feeling of loneliness, however well surrounded you are.

It’s scary to even admit this feeling. The implications seem serious. Too big to really take in.

But the discomfort is the sign.

One that can’t be ignored.

Your soul calling you to wake up.

Listen.

Contemplate the path home. To what lights you up. Expands and opens up.

Like seeing the sun rise on a perfectly still morning, as if you’d never really seen it before.

A deep breath in.

Knowing you are meant for more.
