Because
gratification of a desire leads to the temporary stilling of
the mind and the experience of the peaceful, joyful Self
it's no wonder that we get hooked on thinking that happiness
comes from the satisfaction of desires. This is the meaning
of the old adage, ''Joy is not in things, it is in us.''

Both abundance
and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel
realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret
garden we will tend... when we choose not to focus on what
is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance
that's present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the
joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure
-- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience
Heaven on earth.

Whatever we
are waiting for -- peace of mind, contentment, grace, the
inner awareness of simple abundance -- it will surely come
to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open
and grateful heart.

Let's choose
today to quench our thirst for the ''good life'' we thinks
others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in
our lives. We can then offer the universe the gift of our
grateful hearts.
