We must accept and find peace in the places that our minds are at, in any moment.
For when we strive to attain a goal that we think will bring us the "happiness" we seek, and when we feel we -need- to go and get that goal, we attach ourselves to the outcome we desire, which leads to suffering...
Unfortunately for many, we only learn this by going after what it is we -think- we want -- and experiencing it. Only then, learning that it's all the same -- whether we make lots of money; whether we feel intellectually stimulated; or not...
It is when we realize that nothing in the world is spiritual or not spiritual that we can come to an experience that IS spiritual and find that peace within us that it brings...
Quotes::
------------
"I cannot tell if what the world considers 'happiness' is happiness or not. All I know is that when I consider the way they go about attaining it, I see them carried away headlong, grim and obsessed, in the general onrush of the human herd, unable to stop themselves or to change their direction. All the while they claim to be just on the point of attaining happiness..." --Chuang-tzu.
"Success is about a happy life, and a happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people do not allow the happy moments because they are so busy trying to get a happy life."

I am always HERE. There is no other place. Having thoughts about wanting to be somewhere else, are only thoughts that blind us from the miraculous happenings of the moment. Even when I do have those thoughts which moves my experience to the new place, I still am HERE. When we become friendly with the moment, we can see, feel, taste, smell and touch the extraordinary, within the ordinary. All expereince is created from within, happening within the same space, which comes forth from emptiness.

hii there,
Go where you want to be. Life is too short to moon about the ods and evens about life. Move mountains, do whatever necessary - regret is a negative emotions and doesn't get you anywhere fast!

Hey CD, are you asking trick questions again? ;-)
I am not 'anywhere' I am 'everywhere', if 'here' isn't where I want to be, then 'where' could I possibly be ?
To paraphrase the 'Spoon' segment from the Matrix, try to understand the truth, there is no 'place'. It isn't your location that 'moves', it's you. :-)))

I could have quoted Christmas Humphreys and said "Walk on!"
But having read Cosmicaware1's answer, I prefer 'change my mind'.
