Are we seeking happiness in life? True or False?

Happiness=Material Consumption+Intellectual Pursuit+Spiritual Satisfaction+Good Health as numerator over Desire as the denominator.

Loving the way we live is the thing to happiness we have found. We have faith,hope and LOVE.

Happiness has taken on such a superficial meaning in our culture that it is often used to mean anything that brings us pleasure. But we have found that true happiness is a QUALITY or the mindset that emerges and matures in the process of human development. It is closely aligned with equanimity i.e. the ability to maintain our balance in the face of even the most trying circumstances.

We love what we do but did not always. It is known that the greatest contributioin we can offer to the world is to live honestly with integrity and to be at peace ourselves.

I have traveled paths to walk
Learned lessons old and new
And now this wisdom of my life
I am blessed to share with YOU.

Let kindness spread like sunshine
Embrace those who are sad
Respect thier dignity, give them joy
And leaving them feeling glad

Forgive those who might hurt you
And though you have your pride
Listen closely to their viewpoint
Try to see the other side.

Walk softly when you are angry
Try not to take offense
Invoke your sense of humor
Laughter has the clout to be on the way to longevity.

Hehahahahoho all the way and we shall live to be centenarians.
