Is Happiness – Freedom?

When I think the thoughts of what will make me happy; in a partner, in life, in a job, or in the simplest of things – such as – what do I want to eat, I always come back with – I want freedom to choose.  Freedom to choose to be, to do, to have or to want – anything.  Freedom to be myself.  Not the me that my mother wants me to be, or my father, my children, my neighbor, or my boss.

The more freedom, or at very least, perceived freedom that I have, the happier I perceive myself to be. I am not saying that I need to be totally hedonistic about my life.  I do a lot of self sacrificing for the benefit of others, but it is my freedom and choice to do it.   So in having a perfect life, job or mate, should the number one question be – How much freedom will I have?  Do I get to set my own hours?  Will my opinions or suggestions be heard and considered?  Will I be able to pursue my dream and be supported for it?  Do you have organic food?

Loving Statements

I love you.

I think your great.

I believe in you.

I respect you.

I trust you.

Say these statements to your family; mother, father, sister, brother, husband, wife, sons and daughters. Say them to your friends, or anyone that you care about. But, most importantly – don’t forget – say them to yourself! It will make a difference!

What does love look like?

“It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy.  It has eyes to see misery and want.  It has ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men.  That is what love looks like.”

St Augustine

I think love has all the empathy that St Augustine suggest, but I believe love has the ability to also – see the good, the beauty, the joy, and the hope around us. True love helps others see it as well.
