I have everything I need right here…and now.~Ani Po
Our happiness resides not in the things we gain, but in the present moment. It is a gift that we must accept, as we count our blessings for the here and now. Sitting quietly to see we have everything we could possibly need in this lifetime. Remove this focus, turning our attention on what lacks, then we return the possibility of never having enough.
Putting a value on status creates contentiousness.~Lao Tzu
We can spin this many ways but on the simplest of terms, it is the price tag we give any one thing that gives its value. The end result spells what we seek, but our happiness does not live on the value it is given.
If we put value in a given situation or within any material gain, when it is taken away we are left with an empty hole in our hearts. Going deeper within the self, we find contentment within our own being…no matter where we are or what material we are given. It is the acceptance of our happiness that can never be taken away…
