To have more happiness, contentment and abundance we need to first understand where it comes from. At this time of year we are bombarded by advertisers and marketers urging us to buy more of what we already have and don’t really need.

The desire to have something new and the feeling we have when we get it happens inside of us. Yet we tend to think that it’s the objects we desire that creates that feeling of happiness or contentment.

Since that feeling occurs within us the source of that feeling is always there inside of ourselves. We don’t need something new or better to tap into that feeling every day.

Appreciation

The simplest way to tap into happiness, contentment and abundance is to connect with that source, with that feeling that’s already inside of us. We can do that every day by just sitting quietly and appreciating the simple fact that we’re alive.

Perhaps we don’t always like what’s occurring around us or how we’re treated or treat others. Some things we have control over and others we don’t. However, we can take the time to appreciate life and the fact that we exist and can make choices.

Just that simple acknowledgement can change our perspective and bring joy and satisfaction and the feeling of wealth and abundance.

As we approach the holiday season I encourage you to take the time to feel the happiness, contentment and abundance that’s constantly resonating inside of you.

Enjoy your life, every day and every moment. It is a precious gift!

Happy holidays!
