Today I recognize that it is the simple pleasures that bring me the greatest joy. What good is earning a living if I don’t enjoy my life, what good is recovery if I don’t become grateful for the life I am saving, namely mine. I will consciously build my capacity for experiencing joy and serenity. Waking up and feeling good; enjoying the weather, a friend, a cup of tea. When I allow myself to live my life rather than chase after what I think my life should be or reject the good that is around me a mysterious thing happens. Life is enough. The space around me just sort of fills up with something, an energy, a sensation of being alive, a presence that fills in what previously felt empty. I look around and know it is enough.

      Being alive and experiencing the moment has its own purpose

Success is not about getting it done. It is about still dreaming and feeling positive in the unfolding. The standard of success in life is not the money or the stuff-the standard of success is absolutely the amount of joy you feel.

Esther and Jerry Hicks
