2/20/08: Finding Happiness

Ever notice that no matter how hard you push, struggle or try to control circumstances, happiness always seems to elude you?

Happiness cannot be found by effort because it is not something to work toward; it is something to relax into.

All you have to do is stop pushing against your well-being.

Think of happiness as the flow of a river. You can’t push the river, you can try but you’ll only get frustrated. Instead, relax and flow with it. Trust that it will take you where you want to go.

Happiness is not anywhere else to be found; it exists here and now, available to all. It is simply a matter of letting everything else go that is keeping you from flowing with it.
