Happiness

Happiness is a state of being - Barry Dillah

What is happiness?
Happiness is the absence of suffering. 

Happiness is not something you seek.
Seeking happiness is a sure sign that you don't already have happiness.

Do you find yourself wanting to be happy?
Do you find yourself needing things to make you happy?
Do you have to think of someone before you are happy?
Do you expect happiness in your life because an event is on it's way?
Would you like to be happy now?

I have heard many people say that they will be happy WHEN....so and so happens.
I have heard many people say that they will be happy IF....such and such happens.

The United States Constitution says that you have the RIGHT to PURSUE Happiness.

The same way you cannot seek happiness, you cannot pursue happiness. Happiness is not something you look for. If you look for happiness you will never find it.

You are not happy because of the attachments in your life - Barry Dillah

When we learn to rid ourselves of attachments we will have nothing that causes us to suffer.
Attachments cause suffering.
Happiness is the absence of suffering.

Having more does not make us happier.
The wise know that happiness is not dependent on things, other people, or circumstances.
Happiness is what is left only after you get rid of all things, people, and circumstances that cause you pain and suffering.

This is why so many people cannot be happy.
This is why so many people are only happy for very short periods of time.
This is why we live in a world that experience more pain and suffering than happiness.

So, free yourself of want.
Free yourself of need.
Free yourself of desire.
Free yourself of expectations.
Free yourself of negative thoughts.
There are so many things you need to free yourself from before you are truly happy.

Remember that attachments keep you from happiness.
We are ALIVE and Living LIFE!
Life is filled with pain, suffering, want, need, love, sickness, etc.

Happiness is what is left when we learn how to control our minds and learn to Live and deal with LIFE's attachments in a certain way - Barry Dillah

Happiness is attained by emptying your mind of everything that makes you unhappy.
Doing this takes years of practice and sometimes a lifetime.
Being in a state of happiness is attained only in time and with daily meditation.
You must be happy within your own being.
Happiness comes from within.
When your mind is still, when your mind is empty, when you clear your thinking of all attachments, you will be able to experience a state of happiness.

I truly hope YOU develop the habit of living a HAPPY LIFE.
