Happy Hump Day y'all,
Hey, today I am going to wander from my usual topics, religion or politics, and go into bringing you some more Eastern Wisdom. I just love this stuff, and I hope some of you visitors will get the same enjoyment.
Somewhere along my ways, I came across this quote, " You are about as happy as you make up your mind to be". When I read it, I paused to ponder the words, and I eventually realized, by golly, the words were true. So I follow up the subject of "happiness" with some of this Eastern Wisdom.
Everything humanity has ever created began with a thought. The place where you live, the clothes that you wear, and the paper you write on were once only thoughts in someone's mind. Your decision to read this, too, began with a thought.
HAPPINESS SHAPES THOUGHT
Everything we think is colored by our happiness, or lack thereof. Although individual definitions of happiness vary greatly, we all want to be happy. Early in life, we look for happiness among family, friends, even toys. Later in lie, we may look for happiness in religion, money, sex, alcohol, education, marriage..... We all know where we have looked. But, did we find what we were searching for?????
OPENNESS MANIFESTS HAPPINESS
Genuine happiness, or inlightment, is already within us; we have only to reveal it. As spring water rushes through open earth, so happiness flows through open lives. The question is how to open our lives to this inherent joy.
Here are some suggestions:
* NEVER SEEK HAPPINESS OUTSIDE YOURSELF.
*EVERYTHING PEOPLE SAY OR DO IS ULTIMATELY ROOTED IN THE BELIEF THAT THESE ACTIONS WILL LEAD THEM TO HAPPINESS.
* LIFE ISN'T ABOUT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO US; ITS ABOUT HOW WE PERCEIVE WHAT HAPPENS TO US.
* FAME, MATERIAL WEALTH, AND SOCIAL STATUS DO NOT GUARANTEE HAPPINESS, IN FACT, THEY OFTEN HINDER IT.
* ENLIGHTENMENT, OR TRUE HAPPINES, IS NOT A TRANSCENDENTAL STATE. IT IS A CONDITION OF BROAD WISDOM, BOUNDLESS ENERGY, AND GOOD FORTUNE WHEREIN WE SHAPE OUR OWN DESTINY, FIND FULFILLMENT IN DAILY ACTIVITIES, AND COME TO UNDERSTAND OUR ULTIMATE PURPOSE IN LIFE.
OK folks, this ought to hold you for a few hours if you have the wisdom to recognize this wisdom printer herein, and then maybe let some of it affect a little part of your life, at least. If not, oh well, so be it, but don't forget to check back as often as possible and find out why you should WAKE UP AND BE ALERT TO WHAT IS HAPPENING TO AMERICA, AND ULTIMATELY TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU. CHEERS CJ
