PRACTICAL TIPS for BRINGING the BLISS
Seeing as how our sadness comes primarily from self-fixation, it makes perfect sense
(and is empirically true) that the only lasting solution to self-centered sadness is to think
of yourself less by actively caring for others more. To experience this Truth for
yourselves, consider enlivening the following:
*Instead of journaling for yourself, write a kind letter to another.
*Instead of striving to have fun, go forth and bring others laughter.
*Instead of asking for a hug, give one to a friend.
*Instead of fishing for a compliment, give one to a stranger.
*Instead of asking for help from a colleague, lend an anonymous hand to an enemy.
*Instead of mourning the past, honor the dead with your enjoyment of life.
*Instead of weeping over the present, be openly thankful to be alive at all.
“Those who are not looking for Happiness for themselves are the most likely to find it,
because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy
is to seek to give that Happiness to others.” ~ inspired by MLK, Jr.
“Happiness is not something ready made.
It comes from your own actions.” ~ Dalai Lama
“Of all forms of caution, caution in Love is perhaps
the most fatal to true Happiness.” ~ Bertrand Russell
