Living well and happily is no small accomplishment. It means that we are doing something right, that we understand some basic truths about living and prospering in this world.
Life is fundamentally simple, but recognizing this and actually simplifying our lives requires a strong and mindful resolve, the strength of character to resist the complicated aspects of life that lead to self-destruction.
What we come to know through happy living are the profound lessons passed down through saints and sages.
Appreciating joy in our lives and sharing it with others enhances and increases its presence for us.
Share your joy.
Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me. It is an uncomfortable doctrine which the true ethics whisper into my ear. You are happy, they say; therefore you are called upon to give much. ~ Albert Schweitzer
