No
matter what you want, what you really want is happiness! I could list for you hundreds of
different goals, intentions, desires, and things for which clients have hired
me to Coach them in creating or manifesting. In every single instance the real desire was and is
happiness. Every item on that list
is nothing more than a stand in for the real thing. Happiness. And
THAT is a good news/bad news fact!
The
BAD news is this: There is no thing, person, goal, intention, achievement or
desire that can bring you real or lasting happiness.
The
(outrageously) GOOD news is this:
Happiness is already yours.
Happiness
is your birthright. You came into
the world with it. Unfortunately,
from nearly the first moment of your arrival here on the planet, you have been
unconsciously learning how to cover up and bury the happiness you brought with
you. Human beings pass on to each
ensuing generation the misconceptions and misunderstandings that perpetually
ensure that few individuals ever find their way back to an ongoing experience
of the happiness that lives inside each of us.
We
are so removed from the truth of our essential happiness that most people never
consider that waking up each day in joyful expectation of every moment is
actually the way we are meant to live.
Instead, we settle for momentary pleasures, and brief flashes of joy or
contentment. And we pursue people,
places, things, events, and achievements in an ongoing attempt at more lasting
happiness.
Attaining
happiness is not about getting or achieving or having anything. It is about letting go of the beliefs
and behaviors that prevent your experience of the happiness that lives inside
you and always has. Almost every
human on the planet has at some moment or another experienced an unexpected or
brief interlude of joy that had no direct cause. That delicious moment was your essential happiness leaking
through to the surface.
Yes,
you absolutely want to pursue your dreams and aspirations and give full reign
to living out the life you imagine!
We are here to expand and manifest. Life is a vast playground. There is no limit to the number and
variety of experiences a person can have in the course of a lifetime. In fact, part of being human is the
capacity to continuously enlarge the possibilities for fun, expression and
experience. That is what we are
here to do. Enjoying the
playground is not the issue. The
issue is in believing that happiness is found out there in the playground,
instead of understanding that happiness is what we need to bring to the
playground in order to fully enjoy it.
Human
beings want to be happy. More than
anything else, we want to be happy.
And as long as we look for that happiness out there in the playground,
it will continue to elude us. When
we focus FIRST on
uncovering the essential core of happiness from which our dreams spring,
manifesting our wildest desires and expectations becomes as easy as breathing.
Happiness
is the gift you give both yourself and the world. Happiness is highly contagious (proven by scientists), and
your happiness changes the world around you and every person you
encounter. ONCE YOU LIVE FROM THE
STATE OF HAPPINESS, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
