The Pursuit of Happiness

Leave a comment

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet.  – James Oppenheim

the holy grail

The pursuit of happiness is the holy grail. Pursuing happiness is like trying to get ahead of the river while swimming in it.  We may pursue but grasp happiness we may not. It can only be experienced.

here

Everything worthwhile is here and now. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t seek after big goals. It just means that we take here and now with us, wherever we go. True happiness and fulfillment may only be found therein.

…Expecting nothing, am always full of thanks for moderate goods.  – Ralph Waldo Emerson

expectation

We all know that expectation is at the root of most suffering. We want things to happen a certain way, they don’t, we suffer. We want others to be one way, they don’t comply, we like them not. Why do we do this to self?

butterflies

We can decide to be like a butterfly. We are exuberant and colorful. We alight where beauty resides and partake of the nectar that’s freely available. We expect naught and experience joy!

Where We Must Arrive!

Leave a comment

Each second you can be reborn. Each second there can be a new beginning. It is choice. It is your choice.  – Clearwater

rut

In our daily routine we fall in a rut. The result is fear and confusion. We lose our selves in the maelstrom created by our own thoughts.

pause

If we pause we’ll know that truly each day, every moment for that matter, heralds a new creation. We must embrace this creation, continually, because it includes us. We would be born again if we didn’t hold on to thoughts about yesterday and tomorrow. Let’s arrive to the ever-present glory of the Now moment!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM here and now!

The center is always available. It’s nestled just under the turbulent storm that our thoughts create. As we become more aware of our thoughts and learn how to dive below that surface, we can be acquainted with this soothing haven.

remember

We must remind self that this wellspring exists. Access to it becomes easier and natural when we do that. Even if it feels that way, God hasn’t left us without assistance on this confused planet of ours…
