World of Peace

Your thoughts guide you to your destiny. If you always think the same you will always get to the same place. Think in a new way and you will be a new person. Give happiness to all and you will live in peace. Create peace in your mind and you will create a world of peace around you.

Of All the Beliefs

What if we looked at ourselves as the accumulation of all the beliefs we’ve been exposed to and took on as our own. And what if we made a vow to rebuild ourselves with new, more useful beliefs? What belief system would you build? Would it be one that supported your desires and wants? Ones that encouraged and emphasized understanding, openness, happiness, acceptance,
and love? If you could, would your personal happiness be a priority in your life?

Inner Tranquility

The greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.

Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

No Happiness

Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.

Benjamin Disraeli

Happiness is Passion

I truly believe that happiness and passion walk hand in hand. Both require each other. So following what makes you truly happy is a wonderful way to figuring out what you were put on Earth for. Think about something that you do or that perhaps you used to do that brings total peace to you when you do it. Peace is happiness, and happiness is passion.

Focusing

While we are focusing on fear, worry, or hate, it is not possible for us to be experiencing happiness, enthusiasm or love.

Your Life

Never blame any day in your life. Good days give you happiness, Bad days give you experience. Worst days give you a lesson. Have a good morning and great day ahead.

You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.

Blessings in the Simplest Things

Happiness comes from finding the blessings in the simplest things in life, feeling the simplest emotion, enjoying the simple things. By taking the time to count your blessings, you are well on your way to a happy life.

Keep Your Heart Free

Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. It’s the way to happiness. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.

What is Treasure?

We all have three eyes. Two for looking out and one for looking in. Why would we want to look in when everything is happening 'out there'? Because the treasure we seek is inside, not outside. What is treasure? Beauty, truth, peace, happiness. You already have what you seek. You already are stunningly beautiful. You are already peaceful and loving. How come you don't know this? Simple, you never look inwards, beyond superficial memories or recent experiences, so you never see your own riches. Take a moment to stop, look in and see. Don't rush. Don't search. Just look. And be aware.


Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Our wishes are mostly about our personal achievements

– earning more money, rising to fame, better health,

winning love of someone very special or for a happy relationship.

But sometimes we also wish for others such are our parents or children,

friends or even someone we have never met.

These are the selfless wishes where we wish for others'

happiness and achievements.

Knowing that they are happy or have achieved

what we had wished for them makes us happier too.

This is perhaps the greatest motivation for wishing for others.

Unconditional Love

When you provide unconditional love to others, you are not dependant on others for happiness, but rather you derive your happiness from within. Your energy radiates to those around you and the world gives back to you in abundance.

Whenever you make a choice, ask yourself two questions: What are the consequences of this choice that you’re making? And will this choice bring fulfillment and happiness to you and also to those who are affected by this choice.

Happiness

One who gives happiness cannot give sorrow.
One who gives sorrow, cannot give happiness.
Where there is happiness there cannot be sorrow.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someones hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

With Inner Happiness We Can Move Forward with Lightness

To work with the inner happiness is to move forward with lightness. Usually we do take care not to give sorrow to others, but we sometimes do take sorrow from the words and behaviour of others. This disturbs our own inner state and we are not able to work with lightness. Then we find that we are not able to be effective in our work and this further effects our inner state. We need to pay special attention not to take sorrow from anyone. As much as we are careful not to give sorrow to others, we need to make sure we don't take any sorrow too. That means we need to remain light by keeping ourselves open to criticism. We need to take any criticism that comes our way in the right spirit and see that we learn from it without having any negative thoughts.

Celebrate Living

Celebrate the happiness that friends and family are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!

Are You Emotionally Generous?

There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life – happiness, freedom, and peace of mind – are always attained by giving them to someone else.

- Peyton Conway March

Health and Happiness

Since you alone are responsible for your thoughts, only you can change them. You will want to change them when you realize that each thought creates according to its own nature. Remember that the law works at all times and that you are always demonstrating according to the kind of thoughts you habitually entertain. Therefore, start now to think only those thoughts that will bring you health and happiness.

- Paramahansa Yogananda
