"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions."
- The Dalai Lama
Dear Reader,
The chief aim of many of our lives is simple: happiness. However, it is a goal that few truly attain.
It is impossible not to have fleeting moments of happiness in life, but therein lies the issue. Where do you find lasting happiness?
The secret is as old as humanity itself. As long as we have been able to think, we have held this secret within us.
It is this: that our happiness does not depend upon our circumstances, but upon our thoughts about them.
If you search the entire world yet have a negative demeanor, happiness will always be one step ahead of you.
If you walk through the gloomiest fields with a cheerful heart, you will find reasons to be cheerful wherever you walk.
This truth cannot be overstated or ignored. Nothing in life can give you happiness. You must show up to life ready to be happy.
And when your inner world is aligned with it, your outer world will be engulfed by it.
And everywhere you go, you will find it.
Today's Reflection:
What is your current demeanor towards your life? How has that demeanor influenced your feelings towards life?
Peace, love, and joy to you.
Your friend,
