The other day I read this passage from Depak Chopra:
Everyone has heard the expression, ‘what you sew is what you reap.’ Obviously if we want to create happiness in our lives, we must learn to sow the seeds of happiness. Therefore karma implies the action of conscious choice-making.
And I felt empowered to choose my own happiness. It may sound kind of silly, but this notion really struck a chord with me in a new way. Parenting three teenagers, striving to be a supportive spouse, working to keep connected with my family and friends, feeling busy and at times overwhelmed (again!) with work and life….sometimes it can feel like a lot. Reminding myself of my own agency to choose happiness in my life has been grounding.
Thank God for dogs and music (like the picture depicts!), and family and friends, and faith in the goodness of others. Blessings on your week ahead!
