Happiness is not something outside of us - Happiness is already there!

Anyone can learn to experience happiness from within - whether you have the 'right' relationship or are seeking one, whether you have lots of money or not, whether you are healthy or have physical challenges. Happiness from within is not dependent on what is going on in your life.

We believe that if we get the new car, find the right partner or figure out our life purpose, then we will be happy. What we don't realize is that by looking for happiness on the outside, we overlook the happiness that already exists within us, right here, right now, irrespective of our life situation.

You can’t find something that’s already there. Happiness exists now. It’s not something you have to find. That’s like trying to find your breath. It’s the grasping of the mind that causes unhappiness. If you’re not happy, it’s because your mind doesn’t allow you be happy.And the reason your mind doesn’t let you be happy, is because you’re stuck in the vicious cycle of productivity, judgment and purpose

It is not necessary to change or fix the mind in any way to experience the happiness within. What we we do need to do is to change our relationship WITH the mind and stop giving it all of our attention - to withdraw our focus from the turbulence on the surface and put our attention instead on that which is ever-present and doesn't change.

In fact, we don’t need to “find” happiness. We can be happiness. So stop searching. You can’t find something that’s already there.

Great point! Don't know if you've seen the movie Trolls but my kids have it so I've been watching it over and over and over. And over and over. And that's the point of the movie.

Thank you for sharing !
