If the rest of your life was going to be like today, would you be happy?
Because the reality is, every day is probably going to be similar…
Knowing this, what if you decided your happiness mattered, and you took steps every day to create habits that led to happiness?
For me those habits are meditation, exercise, sleep, prioritising and connecting with my kids, connecting with Julia, doing meaningful work, and creating a physical environment I enjoy.
Notice that only one of those things is related to physical ‘things’.
What if this is heaven or hell, what if we’re in it already?
What if ‘heaven’ is a choice?
Mindfulness meditation, when done regularly over a long period of time, helps to create space between stimulus and response.
We wouldn’t give away parts of our properties. We wouldn’t give away our money without a positive reason.
