I was happily dipping into the twitter stream today and because Twitter is a huge flowing river, I can only pay attention to what flows closest to me or what catches my eyes first. And when it does, that I consider my message from the universe/god/the almighty for that moment when I tune into the twitter stream
And so I found this fascinating quote today:
- The secret is to learn to be happy first, with whatever you have.
- But what you have was acquired first and thought to bring happiness.
- To find a way to be grateful, then that attracts more things to be grateful for.
- Ah yes, but to realize why you are not happy is the awakening. Sorrow is the slow route to evolution, presence is the shortcut.
- Having what you want won’t make you happy, being happy brings you what you want. No wonder most of us don’t get what we want.
- Than why set myself goals in life if what I have should already make me happy?
