I woke up this morning, a Saturday with no plans or commitments, and asked the question, what can I do today to feel deep happiness, to embrace the joy of summer? You see, all year I’ve been working long and hard in building my personal development firm, Inner Architect and promoting my new book, Inner Architect: How to Build the Life You Were Designed to Live. It’s work I love, but I have been neglecting efforts to schedule time for non-work fun.

The answer to happiness that came was simple and powerful:

• Look at the events of your days and the people and pets that come into your life as gifts of love from the energy that creates our universe.

• Experience your life as an interactive relationship with this loving creative energy.

• Be thankful for even the simplest of moments. You never know when your moments here will end.

Peace be with you.
