You Need Nothing Else

Life is so beautiful that you need nothing else. Simply taking in the pleasures of the moment – a bird’s song, a child’s laughter, even a car you like the looks of – everything that brings pleasure is the beginning of joy, when noticed in the moment and without attachment, envy or yearning. Feel the air on your skin. Pay attention to your breath. Think of someone you love with all your heart, or a fond memory. And in that moment all is perfect. This is the path to happiness. You don’t have to do anything, find anything, be given anything, Happiness is within you waiting to be noticed. No one can take it away from you. Your experiences can get in the way – disconnect you – but no one and nothing can take it away because it is universal and eternal and divine. It is a soul experience not dependent on the physical world. Happiness is your birthright. More to the point, it is your soul’s birthright.
