Happiness

In a modern world that values activity, achievements and results, it is perhaps surprising that more people are turning to meditation. For all the activity of modern society, many still feel a fundamental need for silence, inner peace, and a moment of reflection. Take a moment to set aside all your problems, goals, ambitions, failures, and achievements. For these things are transitory, and cannot provide us with true purpose and meaning in our lives. True peace of mind is found in the stillness and silence of the present. And it is in the present that the true wisdom of the heart is revealed.

Happiness will never be found with a "gaining" idea! True happiness is synonymous with true love, it is unconditional, before and after all our gains and losses, before and after all of our failures and achievements, and always here in the present.

Take time to meditate daily, and deepen the awareness of the happiness and love present here and now.
