Sometimes only a change of viewpoint is needed to convert a tiresome duty into an interesting opportunity.

Already fulfilled

When you don’t need anything, then you truly have everything. When you know that you already have enough, that you already are enough, that everything is as it should be, then your life will be rich indeed.

Get past the need to possess and you’ll discover that the whole world is yours. Abandon the need to be right and you’ll find real truth.

Let go of the need to impress others and you’ll have their sincere respect. Move beyond the need to control every detail, and your influence will grow stronger.

As long as you feel you need something, it cannot possibly be yours. The more you focus on the need for anything, the more you deny it to yourself.

Why would you want to do that? Instead, realize that whatever you desire is already available to you, and enjoy the process of expressing it more fully as you move through each moment.

Appreciate, understand and focus your energy on the good and valuable things in your life. And you’ll know that your most authentic desires are already fulfilled.
