“Happiness” is an Achievement of the Soul

It’s been almost three years since I began exploring systemic constellations, but my most profound realization came just this October. Before, I thought that doing more sessions would resolve each of my inner struggles. However, after attending the intermediate systemic constellation course, I realized that my attitude toward life had changed. My focus shifted from trying to solve the ongoing problems to learning how to embrace the present moment and open myself to love. I used to worry constantly about the misfortunes that might happen today or tomorrow, which prevented me from enjoying the happiness of the present and connecting with my closest loved ones. Since October, I no longer fear the confusion that may arise, and I’ve stopped postponing my happiness for tomorrow. Early October was particularly difficult, both in my work and personal life. Although I still felt some sadness, I realized I could now face these challenges. I began seeing these situations as opportunities to learn. I’m learning to take responsibility for what is mine and to return what belongs to others. In October, I also worked on an emotional issue through a constellation session. Since then, I’ve experienced no extreme emotions—just peace. It feels completely different from the first 37 years of my life. Over the past two months, I’ve sensed a transformation within myself. I feel more centered, no longer seeking strength or happiness from others, and I no longer place expectations on them. Could happiness be a kind of solitude? At the same time, I genuinely want the love within me to flow outward, so those around me can also feel the power of life. To my esteemed mentor, Teacher Chou, thank you for guiding us on this path of growth. — Happiness is an Achievement of the Soul
