Living In 'Want'

Living In 'Want'

" 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.
