Happiness
is Being On Purpose
When
our lives (marriage, finances, job, health) are not working, we are unhappy and
upset.
(With no goal or
destination, anything can throw us off course, because we really have no
direction
When upset, we tend
to find fault and blame ourselves and others or outside influences.
When unhappy, we
feel lost and project the fear and guilt outside ourselves.
(on the
past, our relationships, the weather, economy, politics, environment,
etc.).
When
we have upset, with others, it is because we are off purpose.
It is frightening to
have no direction, meaning or purpose .
Every upset is about
not living in integrity with what is right and true for us.
Our real work is to
find our own life purpose and live in integrity with inner peace and happiness.
When
on purpose with our own truth, we are happy with ourselves and content with our
lives.
We know ourselves
and are true to ourselves.
We trust and free
others to know themselves and to live true to themselves.
We live in love and
peace with trust and freedom for all.
When
living with peace and purpose, we become helpful instead of blameful.
When living with
integrity, we do not waste our energy on shaming or complaining.
When feeling
gratitude and joy, we use our resources to fulfill our purpose.
At our best, there
is always an overflow of goodness we will use to bless others.
Our
first step is always to trust and free ourselves to find our own purpose and
path.
Seek the place
within where you feel whole and happy and free.
Look for moments in
life where you feel most in love and alive, confident and complete.
Identify the
thoughts and feelings, activities and accomplishments that are most meaningful
for you.
In
relationship we attract those who push our buttons so we notice where we are
living off purpose.
We create
relationships in which we can notice where we are not living with integrity and
purpose.
Instead of trying to
fix or change the other, focus on healing and transforming yourself.
Instead of trying to
avoid or make external or temporary changes, we can begin to heal and release
past hurts and fears.
In relationships we
can learn to welcome the temporary upset and do our own inner work.
When
upset:
Take a time out.
Step away and sit alone to explore: Begin to write!
The real
reason I feel upset is:...............(Write down all the thoughts that come thru
your mind even if they don’t make sense.) It may take pages of clearing and
several times of writing al your thoughts.
You are clearing
unhealed stuff from your whole past history and sometimes the history of
others.
Seek
your purpose or calling.
1 We are here to be happy.
2 When we are happy, we are at peace with
ourselves and others.
3 When we are happy with our selves and our lives,
we are healthy physically, mentally, emotionally, relationally and financially.
4 When unhappy and off purpose, we tend to focus
on what is wrong with ourselves and others.
5 When unhappy we usually complain, inter”fear
“and try to fix others and our selves.
6 Learn to forgive yourself for limiting yourself
and for blaming yourself and others.
Life
teaches us it is fun, safe, easy and helpful to be whole, happy and on purpose.
Loving you in
loving you,
Betty Lue

Based
on the answers above, develop a short paragraph outlining your purpose. Take
the three top priorities from the four areas to which you just committed
answers. Construct a statement that explains what you are beginning to sense in
your purpose. This can be a work in progress. What is important is to commit to
something in writing. Your purpose can be anything you want it to be and it can
include anything that is important to you.
