Of Being in a Happy Place

Reading back over the last few weeks its seems that my blog content has been a little dark in places. I suppose it is to be expected as there are always lows in life as you are impacted by people or events, or become aware of your own flaws and things you need to work on.However, there are also rewarding highs as you find some sort of equilibrium and achieve those personal goals.So this post is in the interest of balance as I’m actually a very happy and fulfilled person!I am excited about friendships that I’ve made and will be getting to know some great people better.I am excited about the possibilities that are coming my way through my various commercial interests.I am excited that I have regained some of the drive and determination and focus that I’d lost over the last few years.Towards the end of last year I wrote about the opportunity I had to take a rather lovely lady out on a couple of dates. They went very well (oh yes!). And I still smile when I think of them. They were hugely important to me from the perspective that I, at that point in time, didn’t believe that anyone would actually want to date me. Of course I was wrong about this, but it was important for me to recognise this wrong thinking and correct it.I have been on more dates since then. I have had great conversations. I have started to have fun and laugh again.What I am enjoying about these dates is that I am being challenged and inspired and enthused. I am learning to control my tendency to over-think absolutely everything which is hugely freeing.I am enjoying these experiences day-to-day rather than considering everything that could go wrong. I am really happy that my guards are coming down and I’m able to let good things into my life.So it would be accurate to say that I’m in a very happy place right now. (cue: boyish grin)- Simon
