Follow-up from Dr. Paul Epstein's on his talk...
Thank you happiness club for inviting me to speak and for being a wonderful and engaged audience, much appreciated. Speaking to you and sharing was a happiness experience for me! Thank you for the opportunity to be of service.
I'd like to follow up briefly with the wisdom words from the audience as take home for my talk..."healing...it's tough stuff!" and "...awareness and choice are important!" In that spirit mindfulness meditation can be a very powerful support to be with our challenges, difficulties, wounds, pains, stress and illness..our 'tough stuff' in a way that is wise and compassionate and healing, it can help us find our way individually as Norman Cousins, (Tuesdays with) Morrie, Christopher Reeves and Lance Armstrong found their way...as Victor Frankl said (survivor of the holocaust)...author of 'Man's Search for Meaning'..."Everything can be taken from a man bit one thing, the right to choose ones own way in any given set of circumstances." Happiness is a choice and it takes awareness and courage to make that choice ....it's not just what's happening...it's how we choose to be and relate to what's happening...as in the serenity prayer...'to accept what I can not change, the courage to change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference".
