The Art Of Happiness Is An Inside Job
Every one of us wants to be happy as much as possible in our lives, yet we have all learned how easy it is to be unhappy and happiness often seems like an elusive goal that seems to come and go just beyond our grasp.
One of my own greatest breakthroughs after years of battling depression and chronic unhappiness was being with my teacher Kalu Rinpoche and other meditation masters who taught that we can attain lasting happiness once we understand what causes suffering and how to become free from unhappy states.
My teachers were all living demonstrations of the potential for not only enjoying peace of mind and expanding happiness, but of attaining that state permanently…and then going even further to attaining joy and bliss. They were always happy, content and present.
I have selected these quotes as testaments to the journey of possibilities.
Abraham Lincoln battled to overcome dark moods throughout his early life, and wryly remarked to his friends, “I have observed that most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”
In Ancient Greece the pursuit of happiness was one of the foundations of their philosophy of life. Epictetus expressed the essence of their approach when he said, “there is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things that are beyond the power of your will.”
