Let yourself be happy and dissatisfied!

We all want to get happiness.

First we have to define the difference of satisfaction and happiness.

Being satisfied doesn't mean you are grateful of what you have. But only means you accepted things the way they are. Many can be satisfied by unhappy. "I hate this crummy job, but it's the best I can do, so I'll stick it out until retirement. " (Hopper's example)

Satisfaction prevent you from growing, expanding, to have more and experience more. We then got stuck and rust.

To "unstuck", you are to be happy and dissatisfied.

LAW OF GRATITUDE #3
Living in the present and being grateful for what we have right now.

"I'm not satisfied with this job, because I know I can do better. I am happy and grateful that I have it because it is giving me the opportunity to earn while I learn, and I am learning what I need to know to create the better job that I really want." (Hopper's example)

Progress comes from dissatisfaction - the constant quest for a better way. Happiness is the ability to look at the present and see it as good.

Make sure you don't set your happiness is coming in the future though! "When I get the job, the raise, the relationship, the house, the success.... then I'll be happy." (Hopper's example)

Focus on NOW, if you can't be happy now, you never will.

Live in the present, what you have, or what you don't have? When you are grateful for what you already have, you open the channel for more to come.

Choose to be happy or not, it is your choice.
