We don't get happiness

Meditation is finding out who we are, not about floating of into some imaginary pink cloud. 

As we bring awareness to our lives we notice that this sense of self which is always needing something is actually a mental construct that exists only in our heads. It is the belief in this self that makes us feel separate from life and so we endeavour desperately to find meaning in it as compensation.  

Whilst we are trying to find meaning to our life, we miss life. We turn from the wonder of life in all its glory to worrying about it because it's not going as we expect it to from the viewpoint of our own personal fears and desires. We try desperately to get life to give us meaning and happiness, when actually our life must be be an expression of meaning, and an expression of our happiness.
