How will your life change if you do not get what you want? How will it change if you do? Look closely at your thoughts. This is the meaning of attachment: investing your happiness in something outside of yourself. Yes, objective things can bring happiness, but also pain. Are you not tired of being pushed around by the waves? What if you shift your perspective to awareness that the self is also the ocean? Then you can play in the waves and yes, even get tossed around from time to time, but the fullness you have been seeking is already and always here. Ahhh. You can relax now. You are so very loved.
