Grief will rob you of happiness, after all how can you find your happiness when your heart is broken. When you ask yourself about your future and if you will ever be happy again, try to feel the answer deep within your heart.  It’s there, waiting for you to come looking for it. Don’t look for it logically, because living a more purposeful life is a feeling thing, not a thinking thing.  It’s often not until we have a major life crisis that we are forced to pause, breathe and consider the bigger picture of what we want moving forward. Think back to that moment in your life when you felt the most alive and happy.  What were you doing that made you feel that way?  Now use that feeling as a clue to where your innate gifts lie; it’s what allows your soul to shine. It’s time to cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself – free from fear, doubt and the judgments of others.  Too often we make choices informed by negative experiences, such as our grief.  We often end up closing ourselves off from new experiences, adventures and even people. Ultimately, we are free to be happy when we forgive, letting go of our pain and the reliving of old traumas.  When you approach life in delight, you allow the world to open up for you.  It is one thing to want happiness, but it’s another to really believe you can have it. Abundance and happiness come when you’re open to seeing that you can receive what you need every day.  The heart never lies, the head does because it wants to be logical.  We overthink, doubt and rationalize with our heads.  But it’s our heart that believes in us and it’s the way to our greatest happiness. I know you are grieving and that at this moment your heart is broken, but your heart is strong enough to carry you forward.  You just need to believe in it.
