Pursuit of Happiness
Economists say that
Money
has a large part to play. Psychologists say that
Mind
has an important part .
Philosophers say that it is in your
OWN HANDS
23 December 2012 25
So, you have to have a philosophical bent of mind, accept the responsibility that it is in your
OM
23 December 2012
OWN HANDS,
understand how your
MIND works, and learn

to manage it, and then, acquire the required
MONEY, and
spend it wisely.

Every thought you think creates your future.

What makes us Happy?
8 Factors
that lead to high levels of happiness positive relationships with family and friends rewarding work sufficient money physical activity sound sleep good diet engaging leisure religious or spiritual practices.

Being Happy - - -
Read a good book
Listen to Satvic Music
Be with Nature
Be with Family & Friends
Enjoy clean Humor
Tears and Smiles, birth and death; virtue and vice; sunrise and sunset, night and day are not opposed to each other. They are misunderstood synonyms; they are apparent antonyms. They are not contradictory but complementary to each other. In fact they enrich each other, enjoy each others presence, shake hands with each other, embrace each other, merge and finally dissolve into each other in the joyous union, in the delightful Dance of Life. Tears and Smiles cannot exist without the presence of each other. The day we reject tears, smiles are also rejected. Indestructible is their dualistic interdependence. ~ Sri Ram Sir From SMILING TEARS
You create your own Happiness . External things, may, increase it further, may, amplify it many times. Do not offer
RESISTANCE
to HAPPINESS Allow HAPPINESS to flow
The Question is ?
How to be Happy ?
