A time comes in your life when you finally get…when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out…ENOUGH! Enough fighting and crying and blaming and struggling to hold on. Then, like a child quieting down after a tantrum, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes.
This is your awakening.
You realize it’s time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change, or for happiness, safety and security to magically appear over the next horizon.

When I was five years old, my mother told me that happiness was the key to life.
When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be.
I wrote down “Happy”.
They told me I didn’t understand the assignment.
I told them they didn’t understand life.

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 5 year old again.
- I want to go to McDonald’s and think that it is a four star restaurant.
- I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples in a pond with rocks.
- I want to think M&M’s are better than money because you can eat them.
- I want to lie under a big oak tree and watch the ants march up its trunk.
