Fill In the Blank

Used to think that happiness 
Was contingent upon striving
If only we can obtain ______
Then we’ll really start thriving

Leads us to chasing our tail
Continually stuck in high gear
Yet there's a path to clear the air
To make the grasping disappear

Take stock of what we have now
Notice the pieces are already in place
To invite happiness to our doorstep
If we embrace today and end the chase
