3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION 

After a little too long being distracted, today's the first day for a while where I am really back on task, focused on domestic maintenance, self-development and promotion of my practice. Not that I'm feeling guilty - I've been living life and enjoying myself! The time comes however where you must restart consolidating and investing to continue enjoying what you have.


This character operates in a little world "below the radar" of popular attention in his own little blissful world where he has everything he wants - not free of challenges, but I have learned that happiness is NOT the absence of challenges, but rather living your life making a difference your way. I've learned to measure success by the amount of love, joy and wisdom I've accumulated.

Do you fully understand what YOU need to be happy?

Everything passes. Both soaring joys and crushing sorrows fade away like a dream. However, the knowledge of having lived one’s life to the fullest never disappears.
