When is it enough to make you happy?

Do you ever look at your life and think about what and when you are the happiest?  We spend lots of time in life thinking about what will make us happy.  Example when I get this new job I will be happy, when I lose weight I will be happy, when I get a new car that will make me happy.  We are always searching for that next thing to make us happy that we do not stop to think about what we do have.  When is it enough?  You get the job and then what you get the car and then what.  It really can be exhausting if you stop to think about it.  A great quote I heard while watching the office Season Finale of all things was said by the character Andy Bernard that was so true and a great lesson.


Life is short we all get reminders of this every day.  Instead of spending your energy of wanting more be grateful.  Of course you have your goals, but do not base happiness on this treat it as it is a goal celebrate the success.  In Yoga it is a body, mind, and spirit experience each pose symbolizes your truth, your discipline, and your journey into yourself.  Pay attention to how you feel do you try to get out of the poses that make you uncomfortable.  Take this into your life what do you do when you are uncomfortable do you run away or try to overcome the obstacle?  I am guilty of all these things we all are.  It is the acknowledgement of knowing the difference.  Your happiness is not in things or people you have to find it within yourself your joy and take it into the world to share it with others.
