Happiness is a fragile state of affairs, it is fleeting, and yet it is a doorway into a greater state of well-being, so if you seek to enable your happiness to continue,

delve beneath it, to know its source, and cultivate that, and then whatever challenges you face, your will have wisdom and insight on how to best meet them.

What do you need in order to be fulfilled and have a sense of order and continuity? It may be not what you think…of course, food, shelter, heat,water, sanitation, but what of meaning, belonging, emotional balance, adaptability and a sense of humour.What of community, communication and understanding of how nature is the bedrock on which all of us live.

The natural world dwells deep with your emotional and psychological nature, within your body, intellect, instinctual awareness and all your habits, for every tree that is wantonly cut down in the wild so is a little part of us all. Diminish nature and its resources and so mankind is diminished. Nature is the underlying foundation of all our aspects of our well being, you and nature are the same experience.

In uncertain times you need to know what is necesary for your emotional and spiritual growth so that you can build both your vitality and integrity, thereby empowering your self-discipline. As things change rapidly around you you need to look at the qualities of your emotional strength and resilience and improve those areas that are in need of growth. In times such as these, have money, wealth or secured resources is not enough, having mental clarity, emotional balance, good health and psychological resilience are those invaluable tools that will enable you to know true stability and enduring prosperity, for we think prosperity is linked to wealth and money, it has being made to be like this since the late 18th century, but this model is flimsy: true prosperity comes from knowing who you are and what you can do with what you have when everyone else has lost their balance, money or previous lifestyle  or is having less, for in the case of human growth, individually and socially, less is more, if you have the clarity to know and express it.

As your life changes, day by day, hour by hour, month by year, what do you notice or see in the experiences that make your life? are there shadows of the past feeling as it they were having hold of you right now? Or are you thinking of the future, a better place to be than where you are now? Look and breathe in the patterns of your life, how have the moments being coloured by your relationship to the life experiences thast you have had? Are you part of a community, jammed in a crowd, on an emotionally powered desert island? As your life changes, where will you be?
