My Husband Does Not Make Me Happy!

10 Secrets to a Balanced, Successful & Happy Life

In a Relationship Workshop, when a wife was asked ” Does your husband make you truly happy?”

The husband was confident that she would say yes because she had never complained to him about anything.

“No, my husband has never made me happy. I am happy!” She replied. ” My feeling happy does not depend on him but on me. I am the only one who can create my happiness.”

” Some say I cannot be happy because I am sick, because I have no money, because I was insulted by someone, because the weather is too hot, because my kids do not listen to me etc”

“I love life not because my life is easier than other peoples but because I decided to be happy as an individual. I am responsible for my own happiness.”

” When I take this responsibility out of my husbands shoulders, I leave him…

The Best Things in Life Aren’t Things…. Peggy Anderson

10 Secrets to a Balanced, Successful & Happy Life

The Best Things in Life Aren’t Things 10 Essentials for a Meaningful Life by Peggy Anderson “Everything that’s really worthwhile in life comes to us free—our minds, our souls, our bodies, our hopes, our dreams, our intelligence, our love of family and friends, and country. All of these priceless possessions are free.” —Earl Nightingale This is a beautiful quote, and…how true it is! Think about it. You can lose all of your money and start over. If your house burns down, you can rebuild it. It’s the things in life that cost you nothing that you can never replace. We all know there are many distractions along the road of life that will try to pull us away from our values. Sometimes we are forced to make difficult choices. But a good rule of thumb is that when you have to sacrifice material possessions for one of those “free things”…

Wake up to Wisdom: Lubricating Your Life….Sadhguru

Restfulness is a kind of lubrication tool for your system. Not enough rest means there will be friction within you.

Deepak Chopra Quotes

In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.

There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle.

The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.

You Aspire for Candies…..Swami A. Parthasarathy

Men run after objects of the world because they gain immediate pleasures. They pursue the external world for instant joys. Think carefully. These pleasures are fleeting, not enduring. They disappear as fast as they appear. Place a hundred dollar note and a candy before a child. The child will reach for the candy. The child knows only the immediate pleasure. The sweetness of the candy. The poor little one cannot conceive anything beyond it. Such is the childishness of mankind. You aspire for candies.– Swami A. Parthasarathy

Be – Do – Have Paradigm …..Neale Donald Walsch

Most people have it reversed. Most people believe if they “have” a thing (more time, money, love—whatever),
Then they can finally “do” a thing (write a book, take up a hobby, go on vacation, buy a home, undertake a relationship),
Which will allow them to “be” a thing (happy, peaceful, content, in love).

In actuality, they are reversing the Be-Do-Have paradigm. In the universe as it really is (as opposed to how you think it is), “havingness” does not produce “beingness,”

But the other way around.
First you “be” the thing called “happy” (or “knowing,” or “wise,” or “compassionate,” or whatever),
Then you start “doing” things from the place of beingness
Soon you discover that what you are doing winds up bringing you the things you’ve always wanted to “have.”

Tommy’s Window : ‘ Obstacles are for Overcoming! ‘….Brian and Martha!

The diamond cannot be polished without friction, nor the man perfected without trials. We are God’s jewels. Often God exhibits His jewels on a dark background … so they will shine more brightly. Brian and Martha ” Obstacles are for Overcoming! “ Your outcome in life doesn’t depend on your income, but on how you overcome. The test of tolerance comes when we are in a majority. The test of courage comes when we are in a minority.
