Attracts Everything

When you realise needing nothing attracts everything —- @bobmarley @ziggymarley

When you come from a place of needing nothing & of seeking nothing outside yourself to make you happy, you open up space for amazing experiences to enter your life. Needing nothing doesn’t come from a mental place of choosing to just stop “needing things” because if that worked we would have all ascended to enlightenment in nirvāṇa by now! It’s more to do with realizing that if ‘the things you want’ don’t happen, that’s fine, because in all probability you don’t need them, even though you think you might. Real happiness is never found OUTSIDE OF US, in possessions or wealth or other people. Happiness is always & only found within us. It is a state of mind, which means that everything you need is ALREADY within you. In this world we see endless examples of people who, materially speaking, seem to have it all but they are empty inside because happiness still eludes them. This means that “things” & “possessions” do not complete to satisfy one’s mental wellbeing, nor can another person or other people in general.

Therefore, what’s left is oneself & very little else needed to make a happy life. Meaning, everything you need is ALREADY within you & in your way of thinking. It’s about the process that happens within & can happen no matter what’s going on outside of us. It can happen even if there are no external stimuli. Understanding that there are things inside of us that we can appreciate such as our internal qualities, can make you happy about yourself. Noticing, appreciating & being happy about living can be applied to things within us, no matter what’s going on outside. So, if we can learn to notice & appreciate the good things about ourselves & the less-than-perfect things as well, to form a CONSTRUCTIVE INTERNAL DIALOGUE with ourselves, then we can build happiness, & happiness is the highest level of success, so it is critical to work towards being genuinely happy; it’s the only thing that’s important….
