Be Here Now to Keep the Adventure Alive in Your Happy Life

Life is an adventure to be lived,
not a problem to be solved.

If you take any individual moment and ask:
  • Am I safe for the moment?
  • Am I fed and rested?
  • Do I have what I need for now?
The answer in most of the moments of our lives is yes.

Yet it seems that we humans need more than fulfillment and pleasure in the moment to be happy. According to Tal Ben-Shahar, we also need to pursue a purpose for a balanced and happy life.

The problem is that we can get so caught up in our passionate pursuit of purpose and happiness that we lose sight of the happiness we have here and now. What was a grand adventure dulls to stress, overwhelm and worry.

When I take a few moments every day to really experience the safety, security, fulfillment, and pleasure of the moment, I get to enjoy the journey as well as the purpose.

Sometimes, it is difficult to enjoy the moment- even for a few seconds- because worry has become a habit.

Affirmation

Journal or Meditation Question
In this individual moment:

  • Am I safe for the moment?
  • Am I fed and rested?
  • Do I have what I need for now?
How does that feel? Now that my basic needs are met, what grand adventure will I take on today?
