You cannot have a happy ending to an unhappy journey.
–Abraham-Hicks
Wow. Those words are so simple and profound. I read them in one of those daily inspirational emails this morning, and they struck me to stillness.
We are all on a different journey in our lives. Each journey is unique in its challenges and our responses. But there is a universal truth in the quote above: How we approach our journey affects the outcome. Do we approach it openly, with a willingness to learn? Do we feel gratitude for what comes our way? Or do we rail against the unfairness of the universe, wishing things were different and trying to shape things to our liking?
There is a different energy that comes when we force or control than when we accept and learn, don’t you think? Whether a journey is unhappy or happy depends mostly on us, on our attitude, regardless of the circumstance.
Happiness is a choice. Gratitude is a choice. As we head into the holiday season, with all of the potential stresses and joys, I’m going to remember this. I’m going for the happy ending by choosing to be happy on the journey. I hope you will too!
Kat – a powerful and inspirational reminder of the joy of the journey.
Wise words. It’s taken me a long time to realize how important intention is to the “ending”. Grazie!
Yes, I’m a big believer in looking for the positives & enjoying the journey.
An ending is only a brief, finite moment. It’s the journeys that make up life itself. Thanks for a wonderful reminder to be happy and grateful right now. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Kat!
Wonderful post Kat!
I wish you and your family a beautiful Thanksgiving.
I have to agree. Happiness IS a choice. The journey is ours..along the way. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, Kat!
