3 STEPS TO TRUE HAPPINESS

Norm Ephraim, Ed.D.

Let’s face it. We all want to be happy. We all realize, sooner or later, that outer success does not produce lasting happiness. So what does? Loving ourselves and loving others. In fact, we can only love others authentically when we love ourselves. So why is it that some people seem to feel self love easily, while others spend their lives searching in relationships or career accomplishments to find it?

While it may seem cliche, the answer does seem to point to experiences in childhood. What we know as self esteem begins, originally, in the esteem parents have for their children. Through the simplest acts of touch, attention to feelings, and guidance toward accomplishment, a child comes to see their own worth reflected in their parents’ eyes. They see themselves as love-able i.e. worthy and able to be loved. These feelings are so powerful that they have been found to influence longevity.
