The purpose of our life is happiness

Happiness is determined more by ones state of mind than by external events

Happiness is how we perceive our situation, how satisfied we are with what we have. Our feelings of contentment are strongly influenced by our tendency to compare.

Frame any decision we face by asking ourselves 'will it bring me happiness?' A state of happiness that remains despite lifes ups and downs and normal fluctuations of mood, as part of the very matrix of our life.

Right now, at this very moment, we have a mind, which is all the basic equipment we need to achieve complete happiness

Identify and cultivate positive mental states; identify and eliminate negative mental states.
