True Happiness … ( 01 / 10 / 2012 )
“ 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 will 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 , though it is rather difficult to experience ( Hint : it cannot be found via accumulating physical pleasure or hoarding material “ wealth ”) … 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 or say or think or believe .
Thereafter , 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 … just one step ( even a small one ) in that general direction .
That ’ s it . It ’ s simple , really … simple , yet absolutely brilliant .
So enjoy , my Friends … in Joy !
“ Simple does not mean stupid .”
~ inspired by Benjamin Hoff
