Happy New Year!

The beginning of a new year gives us a fresh start, an opportunity to reset the clock and do some reflecting. Many use this time to think about new goals involving diet, exercise and finances. Doing so can help us avoid the bigger question, “Am I happy?”

If the answer to that question makes us uncomfortable, it is time to consider whether we are living a purpose-filled life. A purpose-filled life is passionate and vulnerable. It demands our commitment and our sacrifice. It is no less than the quest for the holy grail. Being on that journey is the definition of “happy.”

Some choose a pilgrimage; I know people who have walked the famous Camino in Spain. There are many such journeys, each travelled with the hope of personal discovery and the reward of having “done it.” For those of us without the time, money, or energy for such an adventure, there is another way to ensure our own epic quest. I will share the secret to that happiness over the next few weeks. Stay tuned.
