Hi Meryl.
This is very true what you say. Focusing on the end result raises expectations which tend to exceed reality. “Happiness is a journey” is a very wise perspective. And, I needed to be reminded of that, so thank you!

Great choice of guest post, Davina. I think many people forget that happiness is a journey, not the end result. If you're dreaming of making $X salary, and you get it -- most likely it will not be enough. So I believe we need to take joy in the things we do daily. For many of us, the end result won't be enough and that's a sure way to never feel happy. .-= Meryl K Evans´s last blog ..Almost Everything You Want to Know about Twitter for Business =-.

Hi Liara.
I hear you! Thank you. We can so easily become distracted and forget that we have this capability; right there, right now, within us. The world of illusion can be quite convincing unless we assert daily that we are already grounded in happiness.

Davina, happiness can also be experienced as a baseline state of being. From this vantage point, one does not need to do anything to be happy. One can simply accept to remember the fundamental truth and discard all other illusions that are not grounded in love and acceptance. .-= Liara Covert´s last blog ..10 Ways to access your answer =-.

Hi Natural.
I hear you! The thoughts of a balanced life — dreamy. Just imagine having a balanced life and drink IT in; even for a moment.
