Finding True Happiness: Lessons from Matthew Perry's Passing Through Yoga
Nov 03, 2023
Today, I want to share some thoughts that have been swirling in my mind since the news of Matthew Perry's death . He was best known for his role as Chandler Bing on "Friends." Friends is my favourite TV Show. He was my favourite actor in the show.
With a net worth of $120 million, it seemed like he had it all – fame, fortune, and success. Yet, his passing serves as a poignant reminder that happiness can't always be bought.
I read Matthew's book as soon as it was available. It gave me some insight into addiction.
Life is a journey that often takes us through unexpected twists and turns.
The Power of Yoga:
Yoga offers several different paths to achieving happiness. We learn to practice contentment and acceptance (Santosha).
Money is useful, especially in a world where the cost of living keeps rising. But, it's not the end-all and be-all of a fulfilling life.
I often think about where I would be today without the anchor of yoga in my life. It has been my sanctuary, my source of strength, and a guiding light during moments of uncertainty.
The Inner Quest for Happiness:
Matthew Perry's passing is a stark reminder that we can't control external circumstances. Even immense wealth can't guarantee happiness. True happiness is a journey that starts from within. It's about finding peace, joy, and contentment in your own heart.
I encourage all you to take a moment to reflect on your own path. Take time for self-care and nurture healthy habits. Remember that happiness is an inside job. Don't wait for external factors to dictate your joy.
