Forgiveness
“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
Forgiveness requires strength and courage. It frees you from the prison you have created yourself in your mind. This freedom brings you peace and joy.
Forgive everybody’s everything every night before going to bed. This is one of the secrets of a long-lasting fulfilling life.
True Happiness
“True Happiness is achieved by limiting the desires rather than attempting to satisfy them.”
Our mind is good at getting used to stuff. We think buying a new car, or new mobile phone is going to make us happy. Well, it does, but it does not last long because we get used to the stuff. For example, you just bought a brand new iPhone. You will feel good for some time, but after a week or two, you get used to it, and it does not give you as much happiness as it did the first day. Now, in a short time, we will long for another shiny object.
Instead, if we spend time and focus on moments, experiences, such as playtime with kids or walking in the park with friends or family vacation, we will feel happy for a long period of time because these experiences don’t go away. Whenever you think about those moments, you will feel happy again.
