Your career is on track, your social life is booming, and you are father and mother of the year, eh? Happiness and inner peace are your constant companions. Or maybe not. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck and don’t know how to “unstuck” yourself. One day you’re the best thing since sliced bread. The next day you’re toast.
Your belly won’t stop talking to you. Man do I need a slice of pizza right now. I know, you just burned your tongue on a slice of pizza and realized that sometimes the ones you love hurt you the most. Heh. My eyelids feel heavier than concrete. This calls for that extra large cup of coffee. How do I take my coffee? Seriously. Very seriously. Oh, and I could use two straight days of sleep, too, while I’m at it. Gosh, I am just longing for a vacation right about now. Do you know what your needs are?
Why did Waldo go for therapy? To find himself. Well riddle me this Batman. How can you possibly be the best friend, wife, husband, or parent if you don’t know what you value in life or even what you have to offer? It’s not just about peeling those layers off of that onion to find the hidden “you” within, but also realizing who it is you want to be, and what is your unique destiny. And yes, we all do have one. Speaking of which, my wallet is like an onion; opening it makes me cry. Lol.
Your secrets are safe with me…and all my friends. Uh, oh. Do you value privacy? If you do, then social media and reality TV have a rude awakening for you. Posting personal problems on Facebook and sharing intimate photos of your fam on Instagram are just a day in the life.
Know someone who is going through a tough time? Is that someone you? The simplest action or even token can make the world of a difference to a person. Do you know how to handle your loved one’s pain? What type of first aid do you offer the people in your life?
So what is your definition of a good person? Someone ethical, who lives a moral lifestyle? And what exactly is that anyway? Trust me on this one. If you wish to lead your best life, being “good” is the way to go. Happy people build their inner world, not just their outer world.
