Do things bring happiness?

One is waking up to being with family and friends, number two is walking in nature,  three is playing a musical instrument & solving a Rubik’s cube, four is blogging to teach and five is driving my car.

However there is something missing here. What if I get sick and I cannot walk, I cannot play the violin, solve the cube or drive my car. Now, where or what can I do to make me feel happy?

Most people now have a problem why? Because everything that makes them happy is external to them and since sickness or accident has diminished a happy life they now become saddened with most family and friends now joining them in their sadness. What was a happy story now becomes the opposite.

Those of you that know me know what I’m going to say next; true permanent happiness cannot be found or guaranteed when we look for it outside of self. All of us have to wake-up and notice for ourselves that only in sadness there is happiness; only in sickness there is health. There is no such thing as a totally pure state of being in our external world which is finite.

So come on now you know what comes next don’t you? Yes! True happiness, perfect peace, joy and unconditional love can only be found on the inside of Self.

That’s a law of nature. To make that journey is why you were born into this world so better give it some attention. Don’t you agree?
