The past is dead; The future is imaginary; Happiness can only be in the Eternal Now Moment.
As we grow in higher consciousness, we discover that it is more important to be the right person then to find the right person.
Life goes by rapidly. Don't delay. Don't put it off. Don't wait until you have some spare time. Don't wait until the time's 'right'.
Everyone and everything around you is your teacher.
Upgrade your addictions to the status of preferences. Here's the distinction between an addiction and a preference.
You add to the suffering in the world when you take offense, just as much as you do when you give offense.
Lots of people look for happiness through sensations, whether it's through sex, the taste of food, the sound of music, the sensations of movies and plays, creating a certain environment in their home, and so on. Looking for happiness through sensations keeps you constantly searching for the next "fix" and for more varied sensations. Sensations become addictions, and nothing is ever enough.
Happiness is experienced when your life gives you what you are willing to accept.
By tuning in to your minute-to-minute stream of consciousness, you discover the addictions that make you worried, anxious, resentful, uptight, afraid, angry, bored, etc. You thus use every uncomfortable emotion as an opportunity for consciousness growth. Even though you may still be feeling emotional and uptight, you begin to get at the roots of your ups and downs - your brief bits of pleasure and your long periods of unhappiness.
I am freeing myself from security, sensation and power addictions that make me try to forcefully control situations in my life and thus destroy my serenity and keeps me from loving myself and others.
