- “When you’re happy for no reason, you’re unconditionally happy. It’s not that your life always looks perfect - it’s just that however it looks, you’ll still be happy.”- Marci Shimoff
The Way to Love : The Last Meditations of Anthony de Mello
If you want to know what it means to be happy, look at a flower, a bird, a child; they are perfect images of the kingdom. For they live from moment to moment in the eternal now with no past and no future. So they are spared the guilt and anxiety that so torment human beings and they are full of the sheer joy of living, taking delight not so much in persons or things as in life itself. As long as your happiness is caused or sustained by something or someone outside of you, you are still in the land of the dead. The day you are happy for no reason whatsoever, the day you find yourself taking delight in everything and in nothing, you will know that you have found the land of unending joy called the kingdom.
“The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.” Henry Ward Beecher
“We either make ourselves happy or miserable. The amount of work is the same.”
Carlos Castaneda
“Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you,grows you or makes you happy.” -Robert Tew.

P.S: Another brand, new day!
It is like being given a fresh,new sheet of paper.
Some of the ways one could use it is……
to write a gratitude list
write an amazing story/song
draw a masterpiece of a picture
make a list of things to do
use it to write about the misery of being a victim
take out one’s frustration by crumpling it up and chucking it into the dust bin
keep it aside and choose not to use it at all……………
What could I be and do …..that would make today one of the most phenomenal days of my life?????
Thank you for visiting the TREASURE TROVE today.
Namaste,
Bhagya
