Happiness does not hide behind a secret. When you believe happiness harbors a secret, you spend the rest of your life looking for it. But you do so in vain, for eventually you learn that it was always there, within you. Happiness always avails itself to you. It has no desire to hide from you. It requires no secret to hide behind. Only cowards hide. And happiness is no coward. Even now it is within you, imprisoned, yes, but waiting to be released. Waiting to be the happiness that it was meant to be, in your life.

How do you release the happiness imprisoned within you? Some say by choice. Others say by searching. Still others say by looking for it behind a secret, which doesn't exist. Yet the only way to free the happiness that is within you is through belief. Sheer, raw, belief. The belief that happiness is your birthright. The belief that happiness is possible in your life, and not simply a myth. Or idea. But a reality that can be yours.

One wise sage summarized it this way several thousand years ago: "Whatever you ask for, believe, and you shall have it!" Can the answer be more succinct? Or any more clear? Let us agree then. Before choice, before searching, you must first "believe" that happiness can be yours. Indeed, that it already is yours! Not tomorrow. Or the day after. But today! Now! And it is belief that makes it possible!

When you "believe" anything, whether it is happiness or something else, you immediately harness the natural creative forces within, and around you. When you possess raw, unshakable belief that is free of doubt, the creative forces within you delay not in bringing to you what you believe in. Belief is not a myth. But until you learn how to harness it, you will never understand the words of the wise sage.

You may be asking yourself, "How do I acquire belief?"

If you desire happiness (and who doesn't) you must begin to expect it in your life. The sense of expectation creates a powerful magnetic field within you. Figuratively speaking, you magnetize your life with the same power of a magnet, or magnetic field. You have seen how a magnet effortlessly attracts objects to it. You must do the same. Expect to believe, and you will. Join belief to expectation, and happiness (or anything else in life for that matter) becomes a part of your life. The only way to determine that this is true, is to experiment and find out for yourself. There is no other way.

Know that perpetual happiness is not an impossibility in your life. But, it will be, if it is what you believe. For belief is expectation. And expectation attracts what you believe, be it for good or ill, in your life. Up until now, you may have attracted unwanted circumstances into your life. You did this through the power of expectation. Fear is that form of expectation. The more you fear a thing. The more you attract it. Expect happiness instead. And as you believe, you shall have it. Even if it is perpetual happiness that you want.

Forget about searching for the secret to perpetual happiness. There is no secret. It doesn't exist. Focus instead on the belief that happiness is already yours. That even now it is within you, waiting to be released through the belief and expectation that will unleash it in your life.
