Who doesn't want to be happy? From a screaming baby to a frail old man, and there is certainly one thing in common with them: their deepest yearning to be happy and be free from suffering. But what does happiness bring us? Is it a sense of fulfilment, a feeling of bliss or an adrenaline high? Ask a thousand people and you will have more than a thousand answers, but one thing is generic in mankind -- the underpinning desire to be free. So maybe after all it is more freedom that we are desperately seeking for rather than happiness.
If a sprinkle of pixie dust can really bring you magic, what would you ask for? Whether you want a great relationship, loads of good fortune, a successful career, eternal youth or a bar of chocolate, it boils down to being able to choose what you want to do and how you want your true self to be.
If so, how about starting to create the choices right now and right at this instant? Perhaps at the very least by changing your mindset and attitude as a first step...
Freedom is the ultimate luxury :)
