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.
