Heidi’s Happiness
Maybe happiness is this: not feeling like you should be elsewhere,
doing something else, being someone else.
Isaac Asimov
I’ve been feeling a bit antsy lately. This new life I am living is quite serene and calming. My “old” life was filled with a multitude of chaotic things between people interaction, my job and life in general. In fact, way back, in my early 30’s I found myself creating chaos because I had lived in that energy and didn’t like to be at peace for too long.
I was writing in my journal questioning, what is this life I am to be living? Am I doing enough? What is enough? Who defines what enough is? Since it is a moving target, does one ever achieve it?
I am making money, I am helping people in ways that I am not aware of, I am creating art, I am doing things that I never thought I would be doing! I literally took in a deep breath and released it. I sat with this feeling of being enough and doing enough.
In this quietness I listened to my inner voice speaking to me and saying, I am enough.
So often we allow the voices outside of ourselves; friends, family, co-workers, and society tell us what enough is. What is enough to be successful, to be a good parent, the way to dress, talk, interact, what or who to believe in, and so on.
What is enough for you? Let your inner voice speak to you. It’s called speaking your Truth. It’s an inner wisdom that each of us have always had, allow it to come to the surface and know, by doing so, peace and self-love will be yours! You are enough!!
