The key to our happiness lies in accepting WHAT IS.
Andy Warhol
I want to introduce you to an idea that may change your perception of life.
Before we begin, think about something youve been striving for.

Close your eyes and think about your desire before you continue reading.
If you havent manifested it, what do you think is the primary reason?
Similarly, why do you want it?
What will it bring to your life?
The more we want something, the less it becomes apparent in our life.
This is because of the energy devoted to what is missing or lacking.
So irrespective of whether it manifests, we will be happy.
But with all due respect, most people dont know what they want.
They think they know, and when it materializes, it doesnt offer the fulfilment they expected.
It requires changing the beliefs we have about happiness and aligning with our true nature.
To use a simple analogy, consider murky water stirred with a stick.
The water becomes dense and hazy, and its impossible to see the bottom.
Could you contemplate the idea that what you believe happiness to be may not be entirely true?
Im asking you to keep an open mind and consider an alternative view.
Its worth repeating: most people dont really know what they want.
But what happens when the joy wears off?
Naturally, we go looking for the next thing to make us happy.
Its a cat-and-mouse game, without ever stopping to consider our motives.
Who will you be once youve attained it?
Will you be happier?
If so, what then?
The key to our happiness lies in accepting WHAT IS.
When we can accept what we have and who we are, we diminish our suffering.
Again, this is not a new idea.
Are you with me so far?
Is it making sense that your suffering originates from a longing for something you dont have?
So, how do we navigate this idea to find contentment and happiness in our lives?
It involves accepting our needs but not being tied to when and how they will come into our lives.
For example, have you ever wanted something but eventually grew tired of waiting, so you gave up?
Naturally, as time went on, you forgot about it and then suddenly it manifested?
It happened to me many times throughout my life.
give a shot to understand why you want it and what it will bring to your life.
How will you know?
After that, drop it from your mind.
Stop looking for signs whether it will show up.
Get on with your life and dont get caught up in the negative emotions that it wont happen.
