January 5 Illustration by Miki Howenstein I know what melts me—How about you?
Remember those times when your eyes misted with tears of happiness and joy. Perhaps you unselfishly helped another human being. Perhaps somebody, unasked and unexpectedly, reached out to help you. Perhaps you were reading a book or watching a movie or witnessing a scene where lives were being touched by love. Whenever your eyes well up with tears of joy, carefully stop and observe. What are you witnessing? Why does this touch you? What is missing in your life? Now you have a strong clue about which modifications are needed to bring more joy, more happiness, more peace into your life. JR: Finding those kinds of stories and experiences which create a wellspring of joy within yourself is a major key in self-discovery. They tell you what you treasure and can point the way to a path that brings more touching moments into your life. PP: What are three stories (movies, books, etc.) that brought you tears of joy? What do they say about you? PA: What a fun exercise this is—to start the process of discovering what really moves you, and how that can help you to find things to do which bring more heart-warming moments into your life. Better yet, share these stories with others to give them the chance to learn from you new roads to delight.

Like many of you, he encountered frequent frustrations finding that the vast majority of his efforts ended in failure. However, through trial and error, he came upon a recipe for success in his adopted home. |
