Looking Beyond – Happiness At Every Age
February 23rd, 2010
Do you sometimes look into the mirror and feel unloved?
Try this. Look through and beyond.
It is very easy for us to forget as we look into the mirror that if the glass we look into had no silver in it, then we would be looking not into a mirror at ourselves but through a window at others. – And we just might realize how well off we are and how desperately the rest of the world needs our love.
A fear of committing ourselves, of taking a step beyond our own comfort zone, often holds us back from offering to others the kind of uncompromising love exemplified by a newborn. And it is in offering our love that we receive love.
A happy way to experience age-esteem is to
- look beyond yourself to the needs of others,
- stretch out of your comfort zone and
- find a way to share your talents and love with those less fortunate.
