it will make a difference in your life...

Knowing what you learn

People ask; “But how can I learn to do that?“

And I tell them, it’s quite simple because you already know it!
OR, to put it another way,

”What you already know is what you must (re) learn!”

Happiness

"...the purpose of our life is happiness...."

"...we don't need more money, we don't need greater success or fame, we don't need the perfect body or even the perfect mate --- right now, at this very moment, we have a mind, which is all the basic equipment we need to achieve complete happiness...the mind...now, the secret to my own hapiness, my own good future, is within my own hands, within my own mind...If you maintain a feeling of compassion, loving kindness, then something automatically opens your inner door..."

(positive thoughts beget positive feelings)

"...Achieving genuine happiness may require bringing about a transformation in your outlook, your way of thinking and this is not a simple matter...(it's) a constant battle within, replacing previous negative conditioning or habituation with new positive conditioning...through training, we can change, we can transform ourselves (our thoughts)...I may become irritated and develop sone anger, but it dissipates very quickly. There is no effect on the deeper mind. (no lingering negative thoughts) This was achieved through gradual practice. It didn't happen over night..."

...CHANGE TAKES TIME...

It is within us all. We can achieve, maintain and live a happy life, regardless of what happens to us or what happens around us. It's all witin you, in your mind. Develop a mind that thinks positive, a mind that sees the good around you and you will also feel happy. You will be HAPPY, you will achieve a peace of mind and your life will become much more enjoyable! It is within you.... YOU CAN DO IT!
