One is happy once one knows the necessary ingredients of happiness:
simple tastes, a certain degree of courage, self denial to a point, love of
work, and above all, a clear conscience. George Sand
When I read this, my stomach took a nosedive, as did my spirits. Why? Because I don't measure up in these areas. My tastes can be crazy, I possess no courage, my self-denial quotient is at an all time low, I'm lazy, and my conscience pricks me for my lack of compassion and my judgmental attitude.
Not a particuarly good score.
So, what can I do to improve? I should probably pick one thing and work on it. I've noticed that if I make one small change, it frequently leads to another small change and then another. The hard part is getting started.
This I know for sure: if I don't start, I'll never get to where I want to be.
Getting started can often be the hardest part, on doing anything. But there's no time like the present. Hmmmm..... I should probably get started on my work.
