There came a time when I had to surrender my old ways of finding happiness... External happiness never lasted... It put me in a position of relying on people, material things, and circumstances to fulfill me... If I wanted to be truly happy, I had to free myself of the baggage I was dragging around (guilt, shame, unworthiness, abandonment issues, childhood wounds...). I can only say that it worked... No more baggage... Life today is simple, light, joyful, fulfilling... People, things, and circumstances can enhance the happiness that I feel in my soul, but at the same time, I don't lose my peace and joy when things don't go my way (which they often don't)...
