What Are You Bringing To Life?

"Happiness is something that you bring to life."  


This quote by Dr. Wayne Dyer woke up inspiration for this short post today.  Thank you to my cousin Tricia for sharing it.

When I read these words, "Happiness is something that you bring to life."  I caught a glimpse of a mother nurturing her child Happiness.  Almost like tending a fire.  I saw her coax it into being.  I saw her feeding it and tending it with a focused attention.

Have you ever tried to start a fire with green wood.  You coax, and it takes all your focused attention as you tend and feed it.  Starting a fire with green wood takes a tremendous amount of focus and skill.  You can't just put kindling and paper and strike a spark to it, and then walk away.  You must keep adding small bits of dry fuel in order for the green wood to heat up enough to catch.

And so it sometimes seems with the art of tending to your Happiness, in order to bring it to life.
