"It is inevitable when one has a great need of something, one finds it. What you need you attract like a lover." - Gertrude Stein

I was reading for probably the 3rd or 4th time the book "Simple Abundance" by Sarah Ban Breathnach. If you have never read this book I highly recommend it. It is a daybook, meaning it is written with only a small passage for each day of the year.

Sarah says that it is only after we acknowledge our inner needs that we can harness the creative energy necessary to manifest them in our lives.

"Happiness is not a possession to be prized. It is a quality of thought, a state of mind". - Daphne Du Maurier.

Happiness is an inner need. Something we crave yet sometimes can't put our fingers on it.
Sarah says that happiness the world can't take away only flourishes in the secret garden of our souls. By tending to this inner garden and uprooting the weeds of external expectations, we can nurture our authentic happiness. Happiness is a living emotion.

What awesome thoughts for today.
