Consider this.

The things that bring you happiness, simply clear your mind of all the reasons that were blocking you from seeing the happiness that is always there.

When you are feeling happy, your mind is light.  You aren’t paying attention to all the “reasons” that the world is screwed, people suck, or you hate your life.  You are simply noticing life in the moment.  

Different things, people, pets, foods, etc will appeal to different people.  

But the key here is that happiness is not something to achieve.  Things can’t make you happy.  Happiness is your natural state.  

We’ve simply come up with a million reasons why we can’t be happy…and for some reason believe those reasons.

“There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way. There is no way to peace, peace is the way. There is no way to enlightenment, enlightenment is the way.”
