A Simple Way to Cultivate Happiness…
Life could be hard or it could be joyful; and it has nothing to do with your outside circumstances
I don’t know anybody who wouldn’t want to be happy; yet I know very few people who are truly happy. And by being happy I mean the inner state of peace and harmony; that inner knowing that life is beautiful and joyful no matter what.
I have come to realise that the best and the most valuable things in life are very simple. Happiness is always unconditional thing and it never translates to our outside circumstances or is dependent upon them.
Being happy means to have the ability to smile genuinely and rejoice just because I am. I am happy because I can always enjoy and admire the blessings around me. And there are many of those.
For example, as I am writing this I am enjoying the light and the French vanilla aroma of a burning candle in my room. As I look to my left I see the beautiful bouquets of red and orange roses and white lilies that were given for my birthday a day ago. I am sitting in a comfortable soft bed, which makes my writing (one of my favourite things to do) really pleasant. I just had a nice herbal mint tea. I am really happy!
How much do you really need to be happy and grateful for your life? You might…
