Happiness is attainable for each one of us. In fact, happiness is already inside us. Then, why do seem to be so unhappy at times?

Most of us have the "something is wrong" syndrome, which means that we feel there is always something wrong in some area of our lives, be it work, or with the family, or in a relationship, or with our situation in life.

Does the following sound familiar?nn-"I just need the perfect relationship and I'll be happy."nn-"If I only had a different job, I'd feel better."nn-"The problem is that my parents expect too much of me."

That is, we blame our unhappiness on anything else.

In a nutshell, we create the "something is wrong" syndrome so that there is always something to fix that keeps us busy, and we can also blame something or somebody else. The idea of everything being all right is scary.

In other words, we have a fear of our own success and so we "invent" problems.

What would happen if everything was all right? Imagine the situation for a moment. What would you then do? How would it be if you never feared anything?

Perhaps at some point you realize that you feel there's always something wrong in your life and grow tired of the feeling. Perhaps you wonder how things would be if everything felt all right; perhaps you want to accept your own greatness.

There are ways to come to feel that everything is all right. One of them is acceptance.

When you accept everything that is, and you don't judge anything, you free yourself from those "This should be this way..." thoughts. That is, you abandon negative thinking for positive thinking.

When you accept it all, and specially what you now judge is bad or wrong in your life, you give yourself the chance to feel that everything is all right, and feel good.

The question is: Can you be okay with it all? Even further, can you not only be okay but actually happy, perfectly fine and peaceful with it all?

Then be it.
