Happiness is Your Birthright
I once believed happiness was a destination, achieved with service, a healthy marriage, a great career, thriving kids, a nice car, a big house, and money in the bank. But life was always shy of perfect, so I was never happy. By the time I realized happiness was not a destination but a journey, I’d sacrificed a marriage, burned countless bridges with my two children, torched a growing career, and alienated most of my family of origin. Disillusionment, discontent, and miscommunication had eroded the person I once was.
I didn’t recognize myself.
Facing myself in the mirror, I looked deeply into my own eyes, searching desperately for some sign of life, a pathway around or through the pain. But gazing back at me were empty eyes, devoid of any feeling; hopeless, sad, directionless. Twenty-three years of committed marriage were grinding to a halt, and the shame of a failed relationship threatened to discredit the successes I’d experienced so far in my career.
Everyone and everything I loved was gone.
I questioned my purpose. I wrestled with my worth. It appeared to me that life was at an end.
