This must be what they mean, by happiness being found in the now. Or as Dave put it, the road being better than the inn.

Chopra talked about having an intention being for the future, but putting your attention in the now. I think I have failed to properly appreciate / understand what he was saying.

I feel strangely cheated. It's like you get what you want, but what you want is not what you really want, because you always knew that you were going to get it. In which case - it seems that you could be satisfied or happy only if you get what you want, but hadn't thought you would actually be able to get it.

Maybe the fun is in the creating, not the creation.

Did God get bored with Earth, after the first 7 days?
