finding happiness in troubled times
Anything that anyone gives attention to, becomes true
In response to Robert’s post:
It’s hard to argue with the Dalai Lama. “ACHIEVING OR EXPERIENCING HAPPINESS IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE”
So if we accept that premise then we achieve or experience happiness by following the teachings of all spiritual masters…
Striving to “uphold things like peace, love, kindness, wisdom, ect.” moves us forward along our path to accepting where we are and help us get to where we want to be…Happy!
Words are like seeds. When you write them out, they grow into your dreams and spark the imagination of others.
Thank you, Robert.
Actually, today I was asking my Self similar questions:
What is this life all about?
Why are we here? Why now? And why this exact time is the history of humanity? Why do some people get born into one set of conditions, and others are born into very different set of conditions. Why? Why is there consciousness?
I agree with you. Happiness is the ultimate Goal.
“Radical Acceptance is the ability to face hardships with greater love and deeper awareness.
Contemplation shapes radical acceptance as a way to choose love and peace over anger and despair.
Begin by finding this within ourselves before helping others.

JUST A QUICK SIDEBAR,
I AGREE HAPPINESS, PEACE, TRANQUIL MOMENTS,CLARITY AND SO ON,ARE A BIG PART
OF ANY SPIRITUAL JOURNEY.ALSO I THINK IT COULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP IN
MIND A FEW PERIPHERAL THOUGHTS.(HEY I SPELLED PERIPHERAL RIGHT)
OH YA THE THOUGHTS…
AS HUMAN BEINGS IT’S GOOD TO EXPERIENCE AS MUCH HAPPINESS AS WE CAN ON ANY GIVEN DAY,HOWEVER DUALITY SEEMS TO BE A LAW OR CONDITION IN OUR SPIRITUAL
QUEST.FOR EXAMPLE RAINY DAYS FROM ONE PERSPECTIVE ARE PERCEIVED AS NEGATIVE
CONTRASTED WITH A SUNNY DAY,ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE PLANNING AN OUTDOOR
WEDDING OR EVENT,BUT RAIN IS ALMOST AS NATURAL AND NECESSARY AS SUNSHINE.
AGAIN JUST A PERIPHERAL THOUGHT TO CONSIDER,IN OTHER WORDS A THOUGHT THAT’S PART AND PARCEL OF HAPPINESS BUT SECONDARY TO POSITIVE THOUGHTS WHICH OF
COURSE SHOULD BE THE OVERALL LARGER PART OF OUR MINDSET AND OR PERSPECTIVE.
