Everyone wants to be happy. To have their kids be happy. For their mates to be happy. To be happy themselves. We are running around, all of us, searching for happiness. I remember when I first heard the Dali Lama speak in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It made sense that the first question he was asked was, “How can we really find happiness?”
Yes to self-care! For me, greater joy has come from giving up trying to control life to make myself happy. If we let go of perceptions that create negative energies inside, we realize we no longer need life to conform to what we think will make us happy, because we have joy from within that builds by just experiencing this wondrous world.
Quote by Rumi via Michael Singer: “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
