Description
Some of us feel too privileged to not be happy, while others don’t want to face the possibility that we might not be. Here are nine truths about happiness to help you think a little more deeply about what it really means. 1. It isn’t a feeling; it’s a relationship to life. As a child, I lived a chaotic life as my parents were drunkards and they would quarrel every night. There was a rush of wind as the wise old owl landed beside Sam. ‘Well, Sam,’ he said, ‘and how are you today?’ I love the phrase 'I am not afraid!' Maybe it's the best phrase we can say, other than 'I have everything I need.' Maybe they are the same. [p. 14]” Everything outside yourself can help you get better in life, but they are not the means to your happiness.

Happiness is a psychological state of amusing emotions. It is an inside job. It relies on what you think. Why do I say that? You are responsible for your own life experiences. Whether you are seeking the meaningful life or the happy life. Above all, our emotions describe our reality. Happiness is within our control. You can’t be happy if you don’t love yourself. Gratitude is one of the most important rituals that I practice in my daily life. I believe that it is through the process of gratitude that we experience the purest form of joy. In doing so, we are able to cultivate a mindset that focuses on the positive. All mental activities — sights, sounds, thoughts, emotions, and both conscious and unconscious processes — are the result of firing neurons.Meaning: Happiness is when you’re not trying to escape the present moment. Whatever it is, you relax into it, content. If I can't see around my personal story, I'll have no way to see sit in context: This is one event in a life of events. It is whatever it is, but it is temporal. The pain is terrible, but it won't last. I can manage it. or this joy is incredible, but it won't last. Celebrate it now! [pp. 104-105]” If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. 14th Dalai Lama
