Episode 129: What Is a Happy Life?
Manage episode 370891980 series 2794462
When we talk about living a happy life, we are not talking about living in denial of the facts of life events, we are not describing a life miraculously free of trouble, we are not suggesting a strategy of avoidance. Happiness is a deep feeling of well-being, of confidence in our moment-to-moment access to the guidance of wisdom and insight, of faith that we have all our resources to address life issues available from a quiet and content mind. Happiness shines from people; we are all drawn to people with that bright life force. Happy people respond to life moment-to-moment. They do not dwell on the past or worry about the future, but create the best possible response to life in the present.
