Happiness Thinking Just Be Happy

More From Dalai Lama

We begin from the recognition that all beings cherish happiness and do not want suffering. it then becomes both morally wrong and pragmatically unwise to pursue only one's own happiness oblivious to the feelings and aspirations of all others who surround us as members of the same human family. the wiser course is to think of others when pursuing our own happiness.
Inspirational Happiness You Make Me Happy
In our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves. when we worry less about ourselves an experience of our own suffering is less intense. what does this tell us? firstly, because our every action has a universal dimension, a potential impact on others' happiness, ethics are necessary as a means to ensure that we do not harm others. secondly, it tells us that genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. for it is these which provide both for our happiness and others' happiness.
Happiness Spiritual Mean
I think we all mistake certain things for happiness. i think we mistake comfort for happiness and we mistake pleasure for happiness, and entertainment for happiness, when really these are just things we use as proxies for our happiness. we use them to cheer us up or try and achieve brief happiness, when really happiness is something much more profound and long lasting and exists within us.
Cheer Mistake Thinking
People are pursuing happiness, but they're pursuing things that will never, ever make them happy, and they don't know that. they've got a distorted view of what will make them happy, what happiness is, and it's based on what they see on television.

Happiness is normally the prime search of every rational human being. one way to derive increasing happiness during the year we have just entered is to strive diligently to promote the happiness of others, to think of them first, yourself second. happiness is the greatest tonic, the greatest elixir, of all. worry is among the worst poisons. one sensible new year resolution: i will do my utmost to have consideration for others, to exercise usefulness, to radiate happiness, to conquer worrying over things i cannot possibly remedy.
Happiness New Year Exercise
The misfortune of others is our misfortune. our happiness is the happiness of others. to see ourselves in others and feel an inner oneness and sense of unity with them represents a fundamental revolution in the way we view and live our lives. therefore, discriminating against another person is the same as discriminating against oneself. when we hurt another, we are hurting ourselves. and when we respect others, we respect and elevate our own lives as well.
