We might want to embrace this thought: Happiness is a journey, not a destination.  Think about this for a moment.  We've been taught that getting the job, the relationship, the house, or some other want will bring us happiness.  What often happens, once a dream is achieved, is that the happiness we longed to feel is fleeting at best, and then we quickly find ourselves thinking, "What else can I get to make me happy?" This thinking doesn't serve us.  After all, how many times have we read tragic stories about the rich and famous, people who have money galore and every material desire, but still happiness eludes them.

    We try to continue moving forward creating the life of our dreams and not be carried away with small failures or temporary setback.    We do not need to stop dreaming and achieving our heartfelt desires, but rather to experience happiness on a more consistent basis -- to enjoy the journey.  I think it will be helpful treating ourselves to some small, harmless indulgence on a regular basis.

    When we have a happy and positive frame of mind, I want to believe that we set in motion opportunities that will enable us to achieve the things we want most of all. I have to say this is quite interesting to me and I am sure anyone that has been through a divorce can relate like myself and so many that I know I stayed in a relationship thinking that I would find happiness in the wrong ways... new cars new house new new new but what I didnt know was happiness was up to me not things..... hope this is giving you all something to think about....
