WANTING WHAT YOU HAVE.....NOW THAT IS HAPPINESS.

Happiness is not having what you want,
but wanting what you have.
Rabbi Hyman Schachtel


We go through life...
gathering and searching...
looking for that
"thing"
that will bring it...
you know what I mean don't you...
peace, joy, contentment..
you know..that thing
the world calls happiness.

We seek it out,
try to buy it...
run ourselves to death trying to climb up to it
search for it
read about it...
Naming the "it"...
well for all of us..
"it"
is something different.

I mean..
I've done it..
searched
dug
bought
studied
but
what I have
discovered
and
I believe it is truth..
Happiness
does not come with something...
IT
arrives
when
one opens their eyes,
looks at what is next to them
in front of them
under them
and realizes...
that
thing---the IT we search for
was right there
right in front of us
all the time.
We just didn't want IT.

May this Thursday evening
bring IT
to each of you.
May you uncover the depth of all
you already have
and
discover
your own little world of happiness.

I just looked around..
breathed in the air
and
found
it.
Happiness

Hugs

I am in 100% agreement with you. My life may not be perfect, there may be things that I'd like to have, and things that I'd rather not have. All in all, I am very blessed! Have a great day!
