Happiness
Enjoy your life and be happy.
Being happy is of the utmost importance. Success in anything is through happiness. Under all circumstances be happy, even if you have to force it a bit to change some long standing habits. Just think of any negativity that comes at you as a raindrop falling into the ocean of your bliss. You may not always have an ocean of bliss, but think that way anyway and it will help it come.
Doubting is not blissful and does not create happiness. Be happy, healthy and let all that love flow through your heart. We have an infinite number of reasons to be happy and a serious responsibility not to be serious.
Always think of good qualities. Life is so precious. Every minute contributes to future progress. Where is the time to think of bad things? There is not enough time to think of all the good that exists on earth and in heaven."

Keep Your Desire Turning Back
Keep your desire turning back within and be patient. Allow the fulfillment to come to you. Resist the temptation to chase your dreams into the world. Pursue them in your heart until they disappear into the Self and leave them there. It may take a little self-discipline. Be simple, be kind, stay rested.
Attend to your own inner health and happiness. Happiness radiates like a fragrance from a flower and draws all good things towards you. Allow your love to nourish yourself as well as others.
Do not strain after your needs of life. It is sufficient to be quietly alert and aware of them. In this way, life proceeds more naturally, effortlessly.
