Exploring Happiness #1- Insight Poem by June Stepansky

I will dip into the
depths of my self
Am I not marvelous?
I am one with the grass
and the crustacean.
Are they not marvelous?
I know that in me
Is that which
I do not know,
and can only guess,
but I marvel
that I am the key
and the gate.



There is a search today for more meaningful lives. A meaningful life may mean a different thing to each person who seeks it. What it must ultimately mean is that each person follows his own honesty, as long as he harms no other person. So the first step must be to look at our lives and see what we want to change, what is possible to change, and how we can start to make these changes. Part of this search, and one of the reasons for it is that happier people make better wives, husbands, companions, and parents. Our responsibility then, is to make a better and happier environment for ourselves, our families and our communities.

One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life, and there is nothing better.
Blaise Pascal



Getting in touch with your true self must be your first priority.
