Happiness Starts From Within
“People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.” — Ramona Anderson
This concept is so simple, yet so many people never understand it during their lifetimes. Love and accept yourself, and others will love and accept you. Realize you are worthy of great things, and great things will find you. Have you ever lost something like your sunglasses, only to later find you are wearing them? Well, true happiness is exactly like that, you once had it as a child, but along the way it got buried deep inside you. It’s still there, and it’s just waiting to be found.
If you expect something external, like a relationship, to bring you happiness, it may for a while, but it will eventually stop if you are not happy from within. One reason for this is we attract what we are. The girl that felt abandoned by her father as a child, will usually attract more men to abandon her. The boy who saw his father beat his mother, will usually beat his wife, or find an abusive wife. I always attracted somebody that was broken and it was my job to fix them. My Mother did it and I did the same.
Once one learns to love, accept, and surrender to who they are, once one feels worthy, they shall attract love. And how, you may ask, does one do this? Well, one must do something different than what they were doing before because that got you to where you are, right? You are here reading this, so you are looking for answers, and that is what you must do. I do not pretend to have the answers, for I too, am looking for this. And as I type, knowing that somebody else will read this looking for answers also, makes me feel truly wonderful inside. For I am not alone in this world.

Greg, thanks for all your postings and observations. I am sad to see you have left the blog now. But what you left behind here, in writing, will do good much goodness for those that seek inspiration (such as myself!). Thanks again and I wish you well. Continue to be yourself.
