Circumstances...

    If you are dependent on your circumstances to bring about happiness you are fooling yourself. There are no circumstances that can bring you lasting happiness, peace or joy because you already are happiness, peace, joy, bliss and stillness. One has to go within and look at erroneous beliefs and concepts that one holds true and see that they are nothing more than a thought. The only thing that (feels like a change) changes a circumstance is adding believed thoughts to the circumstance.

Example: It's a cloudy gray day again, I don't feel like doing much when it is a gray day.

   The weather does it's thing naturally. When thought and emotion are added, suffering or temporary  happiness ensues and we are out of alignment with our true nature. If you can see that you are changeless happiness, peace, joy, bliss and stillness you would never see a gray day or judge any circumstance, you would let all that is pass, knowing that what you are is ever changeless. Your interaction with any circumstance would and could only arise out of that which you are...limitless, expansive, eternal happiness, peace, joy, bliss, stillness, love. You are not your circumstances!
