Daily Gratitude: “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself.”

It’s so important to recognize the barriers you have deep inside. What is keeping you from doing all you desire? What are your limiting beliefs? If you feel there are limitations to what you can do, then you’ll be frustrated.

What this quote is really saying is something I’ve learned in the past 6 years. There is nothing external to you that can make you happy. You have to go within and find out what you need. This is not easy at all. I had a lot of external things abs successes. I was never happy. I don’t think I realized that though….until I began to know what happiness felt like.

You might think it’s sad that it took me 70 years to experience happiness and maybe it is but I also know it makes me appreciate it even more than if it were a given all my life.

Along with that happiness came truly feeling love. That’s probably even more sad that I never knew love for decades but it’s all ok. Some people never feel it. I consider myself so fortunate to have finally figured all this out. How? You know. It was IFS (Internal Family Systems). It is miraculous.
