• Not every sky will be blue and not every day is springtime. So on the spiritual path a person learns to find this kind of happiness without needing nice things to happen on the outside. Rather, you find happiness by being who you really are. This isn't mystical. Young children are happy being who they are. The trick is to regain such a state when you are grown and have seen the light and dark sides of life.

• As long as we continue to think we will be happy in the future, we will never be happy in the moment, and that is the same as saying that we will never be happy. If we think that our lives will be better when we get that better job or retire, stay or go, gain or lose weight, or when our children grow and leave or come back, we are putting off the happiness that there is in today.

• Happiness is a myth we seek,
  If manifested surely irks;
  Like river speeding to the plain,
  On its arrival slows and murks.
  For man is happy only in
  His aspiration to the heights;
  When he attains his goal, he cools
  And longs for other distant flights.

  Khalil Gibran
