More From Etta James

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.
Happiness Jobs Growing Up
Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.
Land People Waiting
When we die to something, something comes alive within us. if we die to self, charity comes alive; if we die to pride, service comes alive; if we die to lust, reverence for personality comes alive; if we die to anger, love comes alive.
Pride Self Personality
The miracle is not to walk on water, or in the air, or on burning charcoal. the miracle is to walk on earth. you breathe in, you become aware of the fact that you are alive. you are alive and you are walking on this beautiful planet. the greatest of of all miracles is to be alive.
Beautiful Yoga Air
And yet i am happy. yes, happy. i swear. i swear that i am happy...what does it matter that i am a bit cheap, a bit foul, and that no one appreciates all the remarkable things about me-my fantasy, my erudition, my literary gift...i am happy that i can gaze at myself, for any man is absorbing-yes, really absorbing! ... i am happy-yes, happy!

We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. we are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. we know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. but we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive. every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. we need only to be awake, alive in the present moment.
