As long as you are preparing to be happy, you will not be. If you continue to see happiness as some distant goal to be reached, you will not experience it.
Happiness is now. The only time you can ever experience it is the moment that you are in.
Happiness is unconditional. When you put conditions on happiness, it immediately disappears.
Happiness makes no judgments or demands. When you focus on judging others and making demands of them, it drives happiness away from your life.
Though happiness is simple and uncomplicated, it is at the same time profound and sophisticated. For when you allow yourself to be truly happy, the positive energy can reach into every corner of your life.
Set aside the complaints, excuses, conditions and demands, and make a place for happiness in your world. Be happy, and you'll discover a whole new level of life's richness.
