Who wants to be happy? Well, who doesn't? After a coaching session this morning, it struck me that when we focus on chasing our wants, our level of happiness actually drops. The more we focus on what we don't have, the more deprived we feel. After all, inherent in the meaning of "wanting" is not having, and you cannot feel fulfilled while you focus on what you lack. That is a fundamental principle of all spiritual thinking. So, here's the fix: If you want to be happy, be grateful for what you have. Focus on that. First Then start to ask yourself - what is it I "want" about this thing or experience? What will happen if I pass on it? We have all had that experience that we wanted something so badly that all things stoped until we acquired it ... only to be disappointed.
