The film In Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith misses a key point.
That key point is…
The pursuit of happiness is still lack and fear.
The acceptance of happiness is self love and grace.
We only pursue something when we think we are without it. But, if we understand that what we desire is already with us, we are open to accept it right now.
Yes, it’s great to have goals and work towards them. It’s also great to recognize you already have what you want.
Action – Using the word that best describes your desires – like happiness, abundance, or joy – write out this statement:
The pursuit of _____ is still lack and fear.
The acceptance of _____ is self love and grace.
Place your sentence in a spot where you can see it easily. It will remind you of what you already have and how valuable it is.
