I have been reflecting these past few days about the many ways in which our desires are met in life, and wondering how often we miss the signals when they are present.

What I mean is this - we put forth our intentions large and small all day every day. Asking and receiving do not happen at the same time. So if we are entirely wrapped up in asking for one thing and expecting that one thing to show up instantly, that is where our focus is… how often then are we overlooking the arrival of the thing we may have asked for yesterday? Or last year?

Today is a day of Happiness for me…

I have been seeking it. And today I feel it.

And on my daily hunt for submissions for the high Vibe it site, this is what has come my way - one of which was emailed to me by a friend!

Take a look and if the spirit moves you, please consider clicking the “high Vibe it” link under the vote counter to the left of the story title:

• Self Development - Free Audio Downloads - this is a link to learnoutloud.com - a great resource full of download podcasts on quite a variety of topics. This links directly to the self development section, but there are many more topics at this site.
• Stumbling on Happiness - MotherJones interview with Dan Gilbert - entertaining interview with the author of this timely book.
• Happiness carnival - April 22, 2007 - awesome “magazine style” collection of recent blog postings on the topic of Happiness.

I woke up today feeling pretty good… and could have easily been distracted by all the many things I want to accomplish today. Rather, I was open to receiving that which I have been asking for lately - a sense of lightness and relief, and a little more happiness.

Wanting and intending are only one part of the equation. The other part is to get out of the way so it can show up in your life!
