It seems to me that a lot of people are not happy because they don't truly know what it is they want, and they don't know what they truly want because they don't know who they truly are.

Authentic introspection and self-inquiry seems to be sadly rare, in our day and age. Mostly, we end up running from one thing to another, too busy to stop and question why we are doing what we are doing... and yet, aware that we are not content with our lives, at the end of the day.

I teach many of my clients to start with "small steps." Stop... just for a moment, and observe a sunset, a beautiful flower, a mother interacting with her child, and truly see what is there. In that moment, it is likely that nothing is wrong! What we must learn, then, is to put together increasing numbers of moments in which nothing is wrong, until gradually we stop worrying so much!

Bright Blessings to you @chbartist!
