Most of us think that those who can get what they want in life are happy – and from this belief we conclude that people with power or money or influence must be living the high life! Yet if we look more closely, we can see that often that the wealthiest people can be lost, bitter, and unfulfilled.
This is an indication of how superficial our perspective on happiness really is. Just because a person has lots of physical things does not mean he or she has lasting happiness. If you think about it, it becomes clear that most every pleasure in this physical world is temporary.
While money can buy us a house, it’s the love a family shares that turns that house into a home. It’s sharing our time and our care, not our money that creates lasting friendships instead of superficial ones. Why is that? Because when we share and put our energy into something we behave like the Light and in that way we can connect to the Light. There is a spiritual law that explains that the Light can only rest where there is a similarity of form. No designer labels can awaken in us the self worth –we can attain by being there for someone.
Start shifting your desire from things of a physical nature to things of a spiritual nature.
The physical world will always provide short-term fulfillment, but when we act more like the Creator that we will find the lasting happiness we really desire.
