Are You Contented?

Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love. You may be riding around in one of that air brushed tour busses, living the party life and flying to exotic places, staying in the finest hotels, beautiful people hanging around trying to get your attention. You would think this would be a dream come true, right? You may be rubbing shoulders with people like Stevie Nicks, Willie Nelson, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and yet, you are not happy. Not really. You know what really sucks? When you’re so close to your dream you can almost reach out and touch it, but for some reason you can’t. Something is holding you back. You spend years working hard just to get next to it. You’re working right there in the area of your passion. But you aren’t actually living it. You’re helping someone else to live theirs. It feels like your face is pressed up against a glass wall and there, just on the other side is the thing you’re really supposed to be doing.

You just cannot get past the uncertainty of what might happen if you take the leap and got shot down. You are poised to jump but paralyzed by fear. You are just hoping the others would put in the good word and do your bidding for you. You are wrong. Nothing happens. The train keeps on rolling with you still unhappy. No one just hands you the keys to the highway. You have to ask for them. Arriving at the place where you can no longer stand by and accept your “close but no cigar” status. The idea that you have to live with the consequences of not trying is simply too much to bear. So cast your fears and uncertainty to the wind and just ask. It will be as though the universe finally heard from your heart. Recognized that your commitment is real and decided and it is time for a change.

Think for a moment, and decide to go for the one question every human being really wants to know. What’s the meaning of life? This is a very good question, but are you ready for the answer? It is only “Two words.” “Be…Happy.” That’s it?! That’s what this whole crazy game boils down to?! Are you happy? Think about it. This moment is all you ever really have. If you are happy, what more do you need? By asking for what you want, a door opens up that sets you down a path to an even greater destination than you ever could imagine in that moment.

Your dream can be the happiness of realizing your true calling. We are often so afraid to ask for what we want because we don’t believe we are worthy of our dreams. We fear people will think we are being pushy or arrogant. We are not. We are just being assertive. If we ask for help people will think we are weak. We are not. We all are just human. To ask from the heart is to touch the divine. By simply taking that action, we immediately free ourselves from our fears. By letting go of the outcome and embracing the uncertainty, we enter the realm of infinite possibility. Like our dreams, happiness is never given. We have to create it.

The two foes of human happiness are pain and boredom.
