Leading Ideas: Be Happy Now
For so many of us, the life we want is just barely out of reach. We can see it. It's just a couple "if only's" away. We tell ourselves, "If only _____, then I'd be happy. I could relax."

Meditation Thought: On what are you focused?

Do you believe that if you acquire more things you will become more fulfilled, good enough, or psychologically complete? Are you waiting for a man or woman to give meaning to your life? The mind creates an obsession with the future as an escape from the unsatisfactory present.
