So I woke up this morning and I was as content as I could possibly be. Those mornings are the best...you wake up and marvel at how beautiful life is. You don't care about how much hw and stuff you have to do...you don't worry about any problems you have...you just wake up and you are happy. It is the best feeling in the entire world. :)
"I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, we all are seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness....." With these words, spoken before a large audience in Arizona, the Dalai Lama cut to the heart of his message. But his claim that the purpose of life was happiness raised a question in my mind. Later, when we were alone, I asked, "Are you happy?" "Yes," he said. He paused, then added, " Yes....definitely." There was a quiet sincerity in his voice that left no doubt - a sincerity that was reflected in his expression and in his eyes. "But is happiness a reasonable goal for most of us?" I asked. " Is it really possible?"
"Yes. I believe that happiness can be achieved through training the mind."
