The happiness myth!
Sweet reader do not read this one time. This has to be read at least two or three times for the lesson to sink in.
You can't aim your intention at happiness and get it. Happiness is the return on something you do for others. You cannot get real happiness by serving yourself good food or good drinks, or whatever. Nothing you take to make you happy will do that thing.
"Don't look here, don't look there; the Kingdom of God is within,"says the Bible. We can add: "Don't look here or there for happiness; it's inside and must be brought to visibility by your ability to give of yourself to other when you want nothing in return.
Everything you do makes you old/older. You are born to die, it's in the puzzle for all who visit this earth. No exceptions. We come here to enjoy JOY but that's an inner essence that hides real well until you give of yourself in some special way.
Joy is not free. Joy costs you everything. We watch a Tiger Woods hit the perfect shot, express the great joy of being so good and then watch him go to the practice field after winning the game so he can practice more and more.
A kin of mine who is seven foot for inches tall set the blocking record for his college. Yes he was joyful but his knees weren't. Now he hobbles where ever he goes. That's the price of his joy. Only "ONE can say JOY to the World" He gives to all freely but requires that those who ask for His Joy, ask for it from absolute freedom.
Many Heaven Letters tell you how to find the joy of freedom. Look them up. Gloria has a way of leading us to the One who knows.

As soon as I received Heavenletters from a friend, they resonated with me. I wanted to share them with my friends because they state so eloquently how to deal with some of the more difficult situations in life and career. In order to move on from them --- and to face other creative and momentous challenges -- change is necessary.
There are some tough questions in life, and these letters get to the heart of it all. They are profound, my reality, and they are sound advice for those that want to have a happy, fulfilled life. They are guides to finding our own personal truths.
