Finding Happiness In Every Situation

Today TOMS shoes is asking people to go one day without shoes to spread the awareness of the impact of a pair of shoes on a persons life.  For those of you who don’t know, TOMS donates one pair of shoes for every pair purchased to children in need around the world.  (Thank you TOMS for what you do!)

I was on my Twitter account when the following question came from TOMS

TOMSshoes Tell us how your barefoot day is going! What have u realized is #hardwithoutshoes?

My response was instant

GoldilocksBlog @TOMSshoes My feet are cold…

I caught myself instantly, which inspired this blog. My response should have been – My feet are cold…, but I’m grateful for the many shoes in my closet.

Our ultimate goal in living our perfect lives is to be happy. So shouldn’t we look for happiness in every situation.  Don’t we usually find what we are looking for?

Creating my “just right” perfect life…

Failure gets a bad rap!

Why are we afraid of failure, and why don’t we think of failure as positive?  Didn’t Thomas Edison say “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”  Isn’t failure our greatest teacher, so shouldn’t it be celebrated? Shouldn’t we celebrate people who have tried and failed, encouraging them to keep going; encouraging them to try a different angle, to look for a different solution, or to completely regroup and to go down a different path, but always…, to keep going!

So let’s look at failure as Thomas Edison does and not be afraid to try something, or get down because something didn’t work – lets celebrate, and look at it as a gift.  A gift – of what not to do, and see it as bringing us one step closer to living our perfect lives.

As for me, I am going to consider myself a huge success, because I know a million things – not to do😉

Having the perfect life in a perfect world…


The Roller Coaster Ride of Contentment!

Aristotle says that without desire the world would die of inertia.  Eastern Religions believe that our perfect peace comes from wanting nothing, and I believe, in my Golidlocks way, both to be true.  As I see it, when we acquire more things, or reach our goals, or find our love, our desires tend to rise at the same time.  We seem to always stay at the same level, of wanting more. We have the house and now want the perfect furniture.  We have a love, and now we want more time an attention. We have our dream job and now want more recognition.  Then when a tragedy strikes like the loss of a job, or loss of property, or loss of a loved one, we plummet emotionally wondering if we will ever rise back up.  We work so hard to have more and more, and then we think, if I just didn’t want anything.  If I hardened myself to not want the love, or the house – I wouldn’t hurt.  So we self protect ourselves into not fully living.

I think our perfect lives come from not only having and reaching for our desires, but to fully appreciate and be content with what we have today.  To be content with the journey – the ups and the downs.  And, that is the peace of wanting nothing – contentment with what you have right now.
