Happiness is being where you want to be and doing what you want to be doing. As such, happiness requires nothing more than an adjustment in your attitude. Wherever you may be, can quickly and easily be where you want to be. Whatever you're doing, can immediately be what you want to be doing. You'll never be happy wishing for what you don't have. You can always be happy by accepting and seeing the goodness in what you do have. It's essential to have dreams and goals for the future, yet your dreams will not make you happy in the present. In fact, it is your happiness that will bring the reality of your dreams into the present. What you have is what you have, so make the most of it. Be happy, be thankful, and you'll be living at your highest level of effectiveness. See the goodness and the value in your very own experience of here and now. Be happy now, and in your happiness you'll find and fulfill the best of who you are.
