Life's like a pot of gold

AND so where are the gold coins? as anyone would ask. This statement must not be taken in its literal sense. A pot of gold simply means that it is the crucible of much goodness, happiness and sense of well-being.
Many people are in a constant quest for their own pot of gold. They eventually end in the grave with nothing but memories of their fruitless quest. That's because they have searching for the wrong things.
What in heaven's name is a "pot of gold"? We ARE that "pot", except that very few of us realise that. We are a fountain of goodness and all that's quintessentially marvellous. All of us have abilities and qualities that will guarantee us a wonderful life; an exciting existence and good health till we are ready to check out of Hotel Earth.
While, we were out hunting for that real pot of gold (it's an illusion), the real pot of gold (us) is neglected. We "shine" all the time. We have the "goods" but if you were to ask anybody that all of us have got special abilities, we will get the answer, "you are insane and moronic".
Pot of Gold relates to the fact that unlike creatures in the wild, we as individuals can continue as long as we can breathe to succeed in any field we choose. We can live up to 150 years old, if we select to. We can be nice people if we want to. It all boils down to choice.
It is rather sad that the thing we want most has always been inside us. Like all misguided fools, we are always wandering around, looking that "ticket out". We crave to be noticed; we seek fame and fortune without the sweat; we wait for promotions and good things to drop on our lap.
We actually don't need these things. We have more than enough. We have everything we ever need. Seek and you shall find. Easy to remember, almost never implemented by those who have heard those words.
If we seek within what we have been searching without, we will find that the things we want most are not the things the soul needs. Yes, it's true our human heart tells us we want this and that, but the soul knows its needs.
One day when man ventures forth into the real final frontier, all doubts will be cleared up. Hallelujah to that day!
