Best Life 2010 Day 69: When Too Much Is Not Enough

Best Life 2010 Day 69: When Too Much Is Not Enough

I want to share with you all my Coaching email for today (www.peacelovemoney.com); normally I keep these separate but I want to share it with everyone because it's relevant. I apologize to my paying Clients for sharing it with the world, I'll do something special for you guys to make up for it, I promise =)

“The actor Corey Haim died today (as of the time of this writing).
Whenever someone so young (38) dies, it reminds me of how much to be grateful for, and how short and precious life really is.

Here is a person who had it all, fame and fortune, and it basically destroyed him.

One thing I have realized, is that money is not everything. Don't get me wrong, it's a REALLY important thing, but it's not everything; even achieving all of your goals doesn't guarantee happiness.

So what does guarantee happiness?

Well I'd say two things, but they are really the same thing looked at from two different angles.
The first thing, is to cultivate and absolute, rock-solid relationship with your Creator. Whether you worship a specific God, or look at the Universe as your Creator, or anything else, take the time to connect with it as fully as you can, through prayer, meditation, and learning. Even if you don't believe in any kind of God at all, you can still learn about the wonders of our world and give thanks for your life every single day.

The other thing (or way of looking at it), is to develop that same type of rock-solid relationship with *yourself *.
When you finally realize that you, yourself, are enough. That you are already perfect and are not defined by your accomplishments, or your environment and possessions, then you'll have unlocked the gates to the temple of true and lasting happiness.”
