I am back, with a vengeance.

January 12th, 2010

It’s been quite some time since I last posted on the website. I apologize for the many many months of absence, I hope that you will all forgive me and continue coming back for updates as I plan on updating the site at least once a week from now on.

The good news is, the reason I haven’t been able to update the site is that business has been booming! For any of those who know me, you know that I’m in real estate and most people in real estate have not been doing well. Things for me have been so busy that I literally had no time.

Been so busy was quite an interesting experience, at times there was so much work to do that I wanted to just give it up, but I couldn’t, I really care for my clients and I wanted to make sure that I was doing the very best job possible for them.

You may be asking yourself, “What does this have to do with happiness?” My experience of this past year has shown me a few things and reiterated a few things to me that I already believed, when I began the site I was almost broke, but I was happy, I was able to sleep well at night and I knew that even if I didn’t have a lot of money that I had other things in my life that bring happiness. Like my family, and good friends, and of course music. Oftentimes we look at our life and we may blame external circumstances for why we feel that, oftentimes we blame the fact that we have no money for our being sad. Sometimes it even seems like there is nothing to be happy about. One thing I found out this past year is that it doesn’t matter how much money you have, I went from having nothing, to having more than I have ever had before in my life. And oddly enough I think back to the final months before business picked up and I realize that those were some of my happiest memories from this year.

And that I guess is the point, sometimes we spend all of our days wishing that things were different, we wish for something else, more money, a different family, may be an entirely different life. But what you have is all you have to work with, and if you spend your life constantly hoping that conditions around you will change, it will likely appear that they never do.

Happiness truly comes from inside you, it doesn’t come from anything outside, it comes from your heart. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, happiness is not something that you attain, it’s something that you are.

Yours In Happiness,

Keith
