Your present dreams about where to find happiness and fulfillment are the very things that stand between you and the real happiness and fulfillment you seek. They act as a barrier to a special creative power that can pour itself into you right now and make the deepest wishes of your heart come true. **There is a completely different kind of "dream" that lives in the deepest part of all of...
Genuine spiritual happiness and strength dawns within us once we realize that passing dark clouds are as powerless to dim the sun in the sky, as is morning dew to diminish the color of new spring flowers.
Anyone can chart a course to happiness, as millions of people do on a daily basis; but only the few -- who refuse to fall into despair after losing their way -- ever find what they are looking for.
If we continue looking for a sense of our self in the various temporary worlds we've created to find ourselves within, all we can hope to find therein is a sense of futility, frustration and ever-fleeting happiness whose flip side is sorrow.
Learn the secrets of how to let go of what has been holding you down in life. Consider what you usually think of as being the cause of pain or dissatisfaction in your life. Maybe a betraying friend, shaky finances, a difficult workplace, or perhaps a past issue that still punishes you? And why it is that with all you've done to shake this suffering...
There is no such thing as a "bad day"...only our inability to see the Good in it.
If our contentment -- our joy in life -- doesn’t start somewhere deep and untouchable within us, as does the beauty of a rose begin before it flowers, then our happiness is “in and of this world”: (it is) a creation of passing time that will -- as must all things that live in time -- wilt and wither away.
Only the person who never gives up in life, who persists with his wish to find and fulfill the promise of himself, makes this truly self-liberating discovery: those places that he once mistook as being impassible barriers to his happiness become as bridges to the same, but only if he learns to welcome them as part of his journey.
Any weakness we may harbor in our present character persists only because we have yet to see how its presence compromises our happiness, but a growing awareness of this interior shakiness changes everything. Our awakening stirs within us a Celestial Character created for the purpose of transforming the soul's stumbling stones into the building blocks of a whole new unshakable Self.
As long as we willingly jump on board that dark train of thoughts and feelings called our discontentment, desperately trying to reach the end of the line where we hope happiness awaits us we will never discover that all such discontentment is a lie and that its desire to find fulfillment outside of ones own heart is a part of that lie.
Our present experience of life, for its happiness or sorrow, is nothing more or less than what certain unconscious parts of us tell us that it is. This means that before we can hope to change our life experience, we must stop trying to re-write the Book of Life and work instead to awaken ourselves from the dreams of the unseen storyteller within us.
