finding true Happiness … (01/10/12)
“It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and yet it is not possible to find it elsewhere.” ~ Agnes Repplier
We are all looking for happiness — that’s part of the program with which we enter this life — and each of us is alone responsible for finding Joy in living. Odd then, isn’t it, that we spend so much time worrying about what other folks believe about how we are living …
“What w…ill they think of me?” must be put aside for bliss to come. ~ Joseph Campbell
Indeed, the way to true Happiness isn’t that difficult to comprehend (hint: it cannot be found via physical pleasure or hoarding “wealth”), though it is rather difficult to experience. For starters, we have to set aside all fear — especially the fear of being labeled or judged or condemned for what we choose to do.
Then we simply have to make life simple … We have to make life about THIS MOMENT, we have to make it about what we can DO FOR ANOTHER — and then we have to take a step (even a small one) in that direction …
That’s it.
It’s simple, really …
simple, yet brilliant.
EnJOY!!!
“Simple-minded does not necessarily mean stupid.” ~ Benjamin Hoff
