Happiness: 1) Being happy: gladness. 2) good luck; good fortune. 3) aptness according to the
Gage Canadian Dictionary

On the spiritual path many people are wanting to change something in their current experience. A change in their financial well-being, a more satisfying career, a loving relationship, health, or any number of other things. Whenever I ask 'how would you feel if you had the thing you want', I always hear the same answer; happiness. Sometimes, included with that, there is freedom, relief and peace of mind but happiness is the constant. Or when I ask them to qualify how they would feel if they were experiencing freedom, relief and peace of mind they respond with happiness.

We can have this feeling now. It exists within us. I believe that out natural state of being is joy, and as a result of that Truth, we can call it up at a moments notice. Even in the midst of deep grief and despair the simplest things can cause raucous laughter. Being happy is natural and I think if we spend more time thinking about the things in our life that are working for us we would find that happiness would be a more common experience.

Think about where you focus your attention, is it where you really want? If not, change your focus and see what happens.
