Can i be happy?

Happiness is the goal of everyone, and yet for many people it is very elusive. Many wise things have been written about "happiness". Sages tell us we cannot find it by looking at it, but we may be fortunate enough to uncover it as we look for - or struggle against - something else. Happiness means different things to different people, of course. We all have individual levels of tolerance, and there is a difference between a situation not being perfect and there being something profoundly wrong.

Happiness is, to a great extent, a matter of attitude. For many people true happiness is found only through an awareness of spiritual meaning. There is little doubt that pursuing a list if "i wants" tends not to make people happy in the long term, Pursuing fulfilment is rather a different matter, however. Being fulfilled is often a challenge, is rarely purely pleasurable, and yet it makes happiness. Becoming the "me" you meant to be is rather like a pinched rose-bud opening out into a glorious flower. It's a blessing to everyone.

I was brought up to believe that "we were not put here to enjoy ourselves" and spent so many years in confused rebellion against this that i had little idea of what i wanted to and precious little ability to have a nice time! This has made me aware of all obstacles we put in our own way and all the ways we mislead ourselves.

So how prepared are you to take bull by the horns and start making some real changes? You probably already have a fair idea of how attitude you have towards improving things.
