Just Not Happy

I want to be happy for others, but I am not. What does that say about me? Am I just a horrible friend?

No, I mean yes. Let me explain. You are not a “horrible friend” to others and yes in this moment your unhappiness for others quite clearly indicates that you have become a “horrible friend” to yourself. When we are not tending to ourselves emotionally, physically and for some spiritually we unconsciously create distance between ourselves and our inner-being. We become momentarily disconnected from ourselves. When this occurs it becomes almost impossible to feel good about any one or anything when we are not feeling good about ourselves. Whenever the opportunity presents itself to celebrate for or with another, this simply becomes a reminder to us of what or how we have not tended to ourselves. Great, because now you know that it is time, if you so choose, to redirect yourself back to yourself and recreate the singularly most important relationship that you will ever have and that is the wonderfully connected, unconditionally loving relationship with your self. As you begin to feel good about you, you will naturally feel good about everyone and everything.
