Comments on: Wrong direction http://self-help.thehappyguy.com/2009/04/29/wrong-direction/ Inspirations, quotes, and self-help tips for happiness Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:03:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 By: John Duffield http://self-help.thehappyguy.com/2009/04/29/wrong-direction/#comment-2053 John Duffield Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:55:39 +0000 http://self-help.thehappyguy.com/2009/04/29/wrong-direction/#comment-2053 Good morning David. From someone who woke up to the right path in his very late forties, I'd like to add a note of sunshine for others like me. If you learn how to discover who you are and what to do with your life....something amazing happens. Looking back at that "wrong way" you took, you'll see everything behind you was a lesson you had to learn. You'll realize your former life was a kind of toolbox. Each dead end and mistaken path and painful failure turns out to be a lesson-tool you needed to go like the Dickens the Right Way.... now that you've woken up. What you thought was wasted time and aimless wandering, now becomes just what you need for your new-found Aim in life. So it's not quite as bad as missing a turn-off and having to go way the heck back and start again. It's much more like realizing there's a short-cut ahead to where you were always SUPPOSED to go. I know for sure, because it happened to me. Ciao David. John Duffield Good morning David.

Here is another article that compares happiness to food. I think you'll find that a lot of people are simply malnourished when it comes to good forms of happiness. http://www.politicalpolarization.com/2009/06/vending-happiness/ This is a great story demonstrating that there are certain paths that lead to happiness and the longer you travel in the wrong direction, the longer it takes to get back on the right course.

Not all people have the same road to happiness, though. I just wrote a funny article about a group of happy people getting busted by the police on my own blog.

I believe that the correct direction in life is the one in which your heart lies. I have experienced that it is better to realize by yourself that the direction in which you are headed is not the right one,otherwise life reminds you of this by jolting you out of your comfort zone...till you take notice. I wrote a post about this: http://www.happinessnlove.com/2009/05/when-life-jolts-you.html Tell me what you think!!!! Cool story.
