Remember the last time you were awed by a beautiful scenery? It could have been a mighty river, a vast desert, or a large expanse of majestic mountains. Feel it. How was it like to be there?
Felt like heaven didn't it? You were so enthralled by the beauty of nature that you forgot all about your worries and concerns about yourself. For just a moment, you were not self-conscious. You didn't care about your ego or about any of your insecurities. You have lost yourself in the beauty of the moment, and in that moment, you found joy once again.
Think of many other such moments. Like when you heard someone play the violin so beautifully, or when you gazed enraptured at your beloved's eyes. Think about carrying a newborn baby in your arms and seeing her innocent smile. Weren't you filled with happiness?
We can be so caught up in trying to improve our looks, our status, and our possessions that we fail to open our eyes on other things and really look. We can be so caught up in ourselves that we fail to hear other people, we fail to see them and to love those whom we see.
Forget your worries for a while. Look. See the beauty around you. Many times, it is when we forget ourselves that we do gain the happiness we've been searching all along.

I have experienced this before and it has always been when I am in the middle of nowhere hiking. The other times are when i am scuba diving. I am kinda of a high energy person who talks a lot and its rare for me to be able to shut it all off. But when i am underwater that is when I am most at peace and really are able to not think about anything and just bask in the beauty.
Hi Jocelyn .. great thought – leave our worries behind and enjoy the moment .. we have so many .. but we focus on the things that don’t help us ..
Enjoy all your many precious moments .. Hilary
