You may go on, day after day, nursing the illusion that a new job, a new house, a new love, new looks, will make you happier. Accept this truth: they won’t. You can be grateful with the gifts you receive and enjoy them, but it’s your deep 'self' that must be content and satisfied with circumstances, no matter what they might be. Happiness in itself is a fantasy, an unreachable aim upon which you have no control. But, like an archer who diligently practices with his bow, believing that one day he will center his target (and it is not unlikely that he will) you, too, had better practice being positive, open-minded, non-judgmental, compassionate etc… When you have done your work, you may even receive an unexpected award!
