More From Nhat Hanh

It is only the dull, sleepy mind that creates and clings to habit. a mind that is attentive from moment to moment - attentive to what it is saying, attentive to the movement of its hands, of its thoughts, of its feelings - will discover that the formation of further habits has come to an end.

Eating mindfully is a most important practice of meditation. we can eat in a way that we restore the cookie of our childhood. the present moment is filled with joy and happiness. if you are attentive, you will see it.
Practice Joy Childhood
A look filled with understanding, an accepting smile, a loving word, a meal shared in warmth and awareness are the things which create happiness in the present moment. by nourishing awareness in the present moment, you can avoid causing suffering to yourself and those around you. the way you look at others, your smile, and your small acts of caring can create happiness. true happiness does not depend on wealth or fame.
Caring Small Acts Understanding
We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. we are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. we know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. but we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive. every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. we need only to be awake, alive in the present moment.

Happiness is a state of non-contradictory joy--a joy without penalty or guilt, a joy that does not clash with any of your values and does not work for your own destruction, not the joy of escaping from your mind, but of using your mind's fullest power, not the joy of faking reality, but of achieving values that are real, not the joy of a drunkard, but of a producer.
Happiness Real Escaping
No thought about the past or future can pull you away from your present peace and joy. the universe exists in this present moment. no desire can pull you away from this present peace, not even the desire to become a buddha or the desire to save all beings. know that to become a buddha and to save all beings can only be realized on the foundation of the pure peace of the present moment.
