Create a life of being and not doing, as humans are human beings and not human doings.
Gossip is like spreading a bad virus.
The following words from one of the Veggie Tale songs discribes the impact of gossip and spreading of rumours so well:
It starts as a story. Maybe it’s true, maybe not, but once you repeat it it’s hard to defeat it. Now look at the mess that you’ve got! I’m a rumour weed! I’m a rumour weed! A tiny little story is all I need to make a big mess.
Next time before you start a rumour, remember you are becoming a rumour weed!
Steve Job’s share a few thoughts on: How to live before you die. He share some of his own life experience.
The question most probably can be asked what happiness is. Neil Kaufman writes in his book, Happiness is a choice, that the following six principals are central to happiness:
Make happiness the priority
Personal Authenticity
Letting go of judgments
Being present
Being grateful
Deciding to be happy.
Looking at principal two to five, it leaves me with the thought that Mindfulness will be key to these principals.
Mindfulness can be described as the ability to stop for a moment or minutes and just to be, to be quite and to be aware of one’s thoughts but to direct it back to the moment or to one’s breathe.
“Mindfulness/Meditation can do that which nothing else can do, it introduces you to yourself.” Swami Rama.
What a way to stop: To learn one better, to be aware of our thoughts, to develop the discipline of presence and lastly to develop the skill to be able to evolve to a being to life live to its fullest.
Secondly to be grateful for the small things, I heard of somebody that got into the practice to say thank you everyday for something that they did not say thank you for before…. Make one think.
