"I WANT to be happy," is
an often repeated phrase.
People who say it, get exactly what they're
asking for. They live in the 'want' of happiness.
Wanting a million
dollars won't put money in your bank account. Wanting a Porsche won't turn your
Neon into a lean mean driving machine. Wanting to be a bird won't give you
wings or get you off the ground. The more you 'want' those things, the more
'want' you get. It comes in extraordinary amounts and becomes a physical ache,
when you want something 'really bad'.
Instead of curling yourself into
a tight little ball and remaining clutched in the 'want' of happiness, open
yourself up to the opportunity of receiving it.
Fill the holes in your
life with the joy of being alive. Work at happiness from the inside out. Remove
the weight of 'want' off your heavily burdened shoulders
and make yourself
available to bliss.
When you achieve inner happiness, it shows. It
seeps from your eyes and rolls off your words. Your peace of heart, supported
by a solid foundation, is unflappable. You see external happiness for what it
really is, a precarious source of self fulfillment. Your 'want' is gone, and
without it, you stand in the wake of grand possibilities.
Your eyes
see the positive in what you have, instead of the negative in what you lack.
Happiness starts coming at you from a multitude of directions.

Live in the 'want' of being happy, or 'be'
happy.
The choice is completely up to you.
