Welcome to the Best Life University podcast.

I'm Dr.

Lynn Brown,

A counselor and educator.

In this podcast,

I discuss a myriad of topics related to the five dimensions of personal growth,

Mental,

Social,

Spiritual,

Emotional,

And physical.

Thank you so much for listening.

Today's topic is all things are within yourself.

Looking for happiness in the outside world makes you dependent upon others and situations that come your way.

By taking this approach,

You are,

In a sense,

Drifting in a rowboat out in the open sea with someone else holding the oars.

You have to wait for someone to tell you where you are heading,

How you are going to get there,

And what will be happening along the way.

By looking within yourself,

You become your own guide.

You can stop looking to others for what you must ultimately look for within yourself.

No one will ever know you as well as you know yourself.

Even if at this moment you are unhappy and confused about your life,

You know yourself better than anyone else ever could.

By looking inside yourself,

You have the potential to learn more about yourself and what makes you happy.

Each of us is a unique individual.

It is because of your uniqueness you should be your own guide through life.

Once you decide to take control of your life,

All things become possible.

We all should be happy,

But most of us aren't.

The potential is there for each of us,

But when we are born,

We have no idea what life should be like and many of us never learn.

We merely go from day to day,

Year to year,

Hoping that happiness,

The perfect life,

Will be just around the corner.

Lasting happiness isn't looking for you,

It is you who has to look for it.

Becoming your own guide takes practice,

But there's nothing wrong with learning something as important as how to be happy.

We spend a lot of time and energy learning things far less important to our welfare.
