What is the Point of a Spritual Path? Page 2
Once you get in the habit of being happy, just because it gives you such lovely pleasure, you’ll be surprised how many of those things you wanted start falling into your lap. My life has quit being a struggle and seems to be blessed with magical “luck” since I finally became the naturally happy person I am today.
My hope for you is that you make happiness your goal so you can stay connected to your true self, to your spiritual self, which connects you to God. Then, from that place of deep and abiding joy, you can set about making all your dreams come true.

When we wait for happiness to arrive because of some other event, we stay disconnected from our spiritual selves. Then we wonder why our lives aren’t working quite right.
