What Will Make You Happy in 2009?
For many here….
“If I could just get that six pack! Then I can capture my youth!”
“When I get into that size 6 dress! Then I will be happy!”
“If I could just get rid of my big a$$! Then I could wear jeans again!”
“When I get rid of the beer gut! Then I would be happy again!”
For Ol Supe it’s, “When I get that pro card, MAN!!! That will be so great! And I will be satisfied! I will be sooooo happy!”
Ask yourself…. “Will it really make me happy? Will it be worth it? Will I be satisfied? Will it…… ?”
It’s not the prize at the end of the journey that will give us long term happy. Nooooo!!!
It is, what happens on the path of our goal that is important.
Happiness is only going to last if we pay attention to what we learn as we travel on this path of bbing, to our goal.
Happiness won’t last when I leave the stage with my trophy and pro card invitation. O ya! It will feel great for the moment! Euphoric if you will.
Happiness WILL last though, from the thoughts and memories of the accomplishments that happen along our way. The relationships we forged. The encouragement given and received.
Will we always be happy when we reach our goals and recognize what happens along the journey? Well as the old Quaker would say, “The only person that is truly happy all the time, is the village idiot!”
You can’t be happy or content a 100% of the time with your body. Yet you can be most of the time. And you can be happy most of the time when you remember what has brought you to this point.
You will be happy as you ponder the lessons learned. The relationships forged. The knowledge that “YES!!! I HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO SUCCEED AND DO WHAT EVER I SET MY MIND TO!
So… This coming year, what will make you happy? Not short term happiness though! Long term happiness.
Mine will be to give more help to those that need my help. I get asked all the time for help in diet and fitness, and in the past, I have tried to NOT make eye contact and keep to myself. I’m not saying that it is bad if you do this, yet it is time for me to give back what I have learned and experience to lift those that are trying to better themselves.
I believe that true happiness comes from giving away what you love most. I LOVE BODYBUILDING! So that is what I will do. Be more a where and give away what I’ve learned and experienced.
What will you do?

I am reflecting on the words written here - I imagine that I’ll be doing this for quite some time. These are very profound words and a very powerful affirmation of how happiness brings quality to life.

I have to agree with the comment above. These are some very powerful words, and I also see myself doing this for a long time.
