Do you have a “Happy Place” in your life?
Or are you one of those who’ve never had a “Happy Place” and don’t even have a conception of what that means or what it might entail?
Then, perhaps, I should explain…
A “Happy Place” is a refuge where you always feel uplifted…where you can take refuge in times of great stress and are able to renew yourself.
It could be your home…nature…a beach…a boat…a sport…a church…a synagogue…a mosque or a museum.
Or, rather than a physical location, it could be an internal place in your mind to which you can retreat in times of duress.
A “Happy Place” is something that endures. It’s always there for you.
So, that rules out drugs or liquor that are transitory and may have physical and/or mental downsides.
If you already have a “Happy Place,” I’d like you to analyze what makes it so. What makes it different from any other place in your life? Is it something or somewhere you can share? Or, is it just for you?
Understanding helps to keep it safe…unforgettable.
And, if you don’t have that internal or external location, then I’d like you to try and consider what you could envision for yourself.
Then, whatever or wherever it might be, I’d like you to find it.
The “Why?” of my question is my contention that everyone deserves to have his or her “Happy Place.”
We all need one.
That includes you.
Go for it!
