I've been thinking about the state of happiness, and I think people get lost when they think of happiness as the ultimate goal. We always think that one day we'll be happy: we'll buy this car or get this job... or that person will come into our lives and change everything. But happiness is the mood of the relationship state for now, not the ultimate goal. It's like being tired or hungry... it doesn't last forever, it comes and goes, and that's normal. And in my opinion, if people understood this, they would experience and appreciate moments of happiness more often... because it's always with us, it's very natural, and everything else is brought in... Silence is in great short supply today, not because there are few peaceful places on earth, but because there are few people capable of maintaining the inner stillness of the mind. After all, there is a string in every heart, and it is bound to respond to even the faintest call of beauty. No matter what anyone says about you, take it all in with a smile and get on with your work. When you have finished a day or a deed, forget about it. All that you could - you already did. Your opinion of a person is made up of what you yourself are filled with.... It's either your opinions and projections, desires and fears, or your love. Peacefulness is the creation of peace ... know yourself and you will be happy regardless of your circumstances if you take responsibility for yourself first. It's amazing how just one person who happens to come into your life can radically change your environment, your worldview, your habits, your feelings, your inner world, your thoughts, your actions... just one person, and you don't need more than that... And this person, first of all, is you yourself, this is when there is a harmonious unity. But it's not very easy, even though it's simple. So let's begin by thanking those who hinder us and acknowledge this fact in ourselves...
