[11]
"Happiness is where you are
and what you want to be."
To a large extent this is true. Where you are counts a lot. But a place in itself is neutral. It's the people you live with or work with that is more important. If heaven were a place, then it must be a place inhabited by people we love. The act of desiring, hoping and wanting in itself evokes joy in the heart.
Lord, a lot of unhappy people blame their place for misery. But it is the absence of love that makes a hell out of any place. It is not the food we eat, but the people we eat with that makes a meal a happy sharing. Let me strive to always love, to be loving, so that any place I go will make others happy. Let me be content but yearning and ever hoping to be what I'm meant to be.
