Happiness in life.....

Happiness in life is a series of attachments and de-attachments. I smell a flower and enjoy it but I know in a few days it will not be as good as it is now. If I don't accept that, I will suffer. People attach to a specific thing or idea and when things change they cannot de-attach and they suffer.

 The cause of suffering is the unrealistic expectation that in our life things will always be the same and will not change. The reason things can never be the same is due to the law of change (everything changes) and the law of cycles (financial, daily, weather, climate etc). The good news is that we have the law of change (we cannot change it), the law of cycles (we always have it) and the law of karma (this is the only one we have control over).

 If in our life things are bad, they will not always be bad. If we are at the bottom, we will not always stay at the bottom. We can only control the law of karma, so if we are down, how long we will stay there, how fast the changes happen, how fast we go from the cycle bellow to the cycle above, can only be controlled through the law of karma. If we have much good karma, we will lift it up faster. The less good karma we have, the slower we move out.

 So we should do more healing, service and give to charity to create good karma and move out of the place we are.
