A few weeks ago, I was sitting in my garden with a warm cup of coffee in my hand, letting the first rays of sunshine shine on my face.
\nSuddenly – quite unexpectedly – something clicked and I understood the
\n*Happiness-exists- only-know-thingy*
\non a new level for me:<\/p>\n

I REALLY already have everything I need!
\nAt that moment, a coffee in your hand, the sun on your face and the ability to perceive it. A little piece of happiness, so to speak. If I consciously string these little pearls of happiness together, then… Yes, exactly! <\/p>\n

On top of that, I also have friends, food, a roof over my head, health, time for spiritual practice (what an incredible luxury!), a functioning mind, freedom to travel, the right to vote and a job that I created for myself. I’m pretty sure you can say the same for yourself, right? <\/p>\n

TAKE IT IN!
\nLet it take full effect, WHAT you actually already have and can do.<\/p>\n

Since then, I have been much more relaxed, no less goal-oriented and even more grateful. Everything that is yet to come is very welcome and of course there is much, much more to come. But I don’t have to fight for it, nor rush, nor push others out of the way, but I am firmly convinced that my inner abundance, my pearls of happiness, only attract more abundance and pearls of happiness. It is up to me and you to stop and notice them. <\/p>\n

Another bonus is that we have the stamina to stick with things and enjoy them because we can do them at our own pace – because we already have everything we need to be happy.
\nThe rest is the cherry on the cake \ud83c\udf52<\/p>\n

…and I’m 100% convinced that it’s the same for you – if only you allow yourself to feel it fully!<\/p>\n

So, if you’ve read this far and are thinking “Yes, yes, I know everything, but it doesn’t work for me”, then I have two questions for you:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Have you really DONE it? Not played it out in your mind, thought about it, but DONE it – sat down and fully enjoyed something, really being there. <\/li>\n
  2. Is there perhaps a fear behind the notorious “not being satisfied”, “not being happy”? For a long time (and there are always times) I had an unconscious fear that I simply wouldn’t do anything, wouldn’t get anything done if I was satisfied and happy. Mutating into a couch potato, so to speak. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As always: If you would like some guidance, please contact me for a free introductory meeting<\/a>. Sometimes it’s easier together. <\/p>\n
