This Planet is Here for Our Use!

When we look at other places we imagine they are living a more difficult life, according to our own perspective. We think we have more. Other countries may have less stuff and yet when they are questioned about how they feel in relation to their work, where they live, their families, they grade themselves as being happier than we do when we look at ourselves. Over and over again we grade ourselves as not having a good sense of well-being.

I must look around my life and decide what I\u2019m doing that serves me well, what serves me poorly and what I can and can\u2019t do about it. Enough is enough. I choose to be accountable for my own happiness \u2026 how happy am I? Grade yourself: sense of well-being, love-making, creativity, physical activity, fitness. If I lost all this tomorrow would it break my heart? Would I be able to begin again with nothing? House gone, spouse, children gone, just the breath in my lungs, the sun in the sky. Would I be capable of going forward?

Do you have the sense of well-being, the creativity, the physical health to be able to learn a new way? Take responsibility for it, this planet is here for your use, use it! If you are not happy, make yourself so. Grow your mind, feed your spirit.
