Dude, where’s my donkey?

There's a common saying in Morocco when people are looking for something, like their sunglasses, not realising that they're on top of their head:

"They're sitting on a donkey and wondering where it is"

It's a cheeky but gentle way of winding someone up. But it has a much deeper meaning when we start to look at other things that we search for in life, that we unwittingly already have.

Things like happiness.

We can end up searching for happiness in places such as:

• Holidays - we can feel like we desperately need a holiday and then we'll feel happy again..
• Marriage - we believe that once we're married, we'll definitely be happy and can finally relax..
• In-laws - we can wish that if only they'd stop being so difficult, then we could actually be happy around them..
• Divorce - we can believe that once we're rid of our partners, we can finally be happy again by ourselves..
• Children - If only they would stop fighting and making such a mess, everything would be easier and then we'd be happy..
• Work - If we can just get that promotion and much needed pay rise, life will be better and then we'll be happy..

Notice a pattern here?

I could go on all day...but I won't, because what we need to realise is that we already have the capacity right now, in this moment, to feel happy, regardless of whatever difficult circumstances we're facing.

None of the above can give, or take away your happiness.

Happiness really is just one thought away. It's already within you, you just can't see it...

Like the Moroccans say, you're sat on a donkey and wondering where it is. And because of that, you end up looking for it in all the wrong places.

And if you can't see this for yourself yet, then dude, where's your membership to Effortless Relationships? Because this programme alone will open your eyes from within, so that you never end up looking for anything that's already right there inside of you again.

Take the first step towards finding your own happiness.

Because doing it this way around, has the really nice side effect of naturally improving your relationship, without all of the hard work and frustration.
