Great post and timely. I sent most of the past three years wallowing in disappointment. Eventually it came to be that I understood that most of it was my reaction, and that each moment in and of itself has something to teach me. And that had little to do with what I 'owned.' After a lot of cutting out people and exposing myself to circumstances all of a sudden those happy moments became more prevalent than disappointing ones. Maybe it was because I stopped attaching so much to it and just let it be. Eventually it led to a place of allowing others to give me feedback on my words and actions in order to be open to the idea of improving myself (for real) and letting myself be happy.

I just got back from a meeting with my business mentor who continues to open doors left and right into my consciousness. He has never once given me anything but his time and presence, and it's one of the coolest relationships I've had in a very long time. Pretty cool stuff and I couldn't agree more on all you've stated. Big thanks and true words!!
