HAPPINESS: GIVE UP BEING RIGHT,
An enormous amount of energy becomes available once you give up the need to be right. Being right implies that someone else must be wrong. All relationships are damaged by a confrontation between right and wrong.
The result is great suffering and conflict in the world. To give up the need to be right doesn’t mean that you don’t have a point of view. But you can give up your need to defend your point of view. In a state of defenselessness, we find invincibility, because there is no longer anything to attack. We are all a single consciousness with unique ways of experiencing the world.
Wholeness is a state of profound peace and happiness.
If you never assume importance, you never lose it. —Tao Te Ching
He who accepts Nature’s flow is all-cherishing. —Tao Te Ching

FOCUS ON THE PRESENT
If you focus on the present, your life will be constantly renewed. The present moment is the only time that is eternal. It never dies, nor can it be forgotten. Therefore, happiness in the present can never be taken away from you. It will free you from the snare of time, which brings about suffering through thought, evaluation, and analysis. Being fully in the present, you experience the timeless. In the timeless, you find your true self.
There will never be any more perfection than there is now. —from “Song of Myself,” Walt Whitman
SEE THE WORLD IN YOURSELF
When you see the world in yourself, there are no more outward obstacles to happiness. The inner and outer worlds are mirrors of each other. They change according to your level of consciousness. If you are vibrating at the level of fear, your inner world of thoughts and emotions and your outer world of events and relationships will reflect that. Similarly, if your consciousness vibrates at the level of love, then love will be present in both your inner and outer worlds. A flow of happiness and abundance will manifest when you have reached the deepest level of yourself.
In oneself lies the whole world, and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. —J. Krishnamurti
I am the light that makes experience possible. I am the reality that is hidden in all beings. —Yoga Vasishtha

LIVE FOR ENLIGHTENMENT
To seek enlightenment is to seek your true self. Enlightenment is the most aware state of existence and also the most natural because it is where you came from. Your home is a place of profound love, peace, and joy. When you return there, you will experience yourself as one with God. At that moment you will realize that your desire for happiness was only the beginning. Your deepest desire was for the freedom that comes with complete awakening.
