• Most people want better relationships, more money, better health, nicer homes, better jobs, or no job, families, and friendships.
• Happiness is the one thing everybody desires more than anything else.
• Happiness comes from within and not from external objects, activities, or relationships
• We all experience happiness differently at different stages of our life.
• We sometimes experience unhappiness from objects, activities, and relationships but it is dependent on us--not on them.
• We can find an ocean of freedom when we stop expecting external circumstances to bring us happiness.
• One should not seek happiness in relationships, but rather share and express our inherent happiness in them.
• Boredom, irritation, or restlessness are all related to resistance to the current experience.
• Searching for enlightenment rather than allowing oneself to be revealed to it is a recipe for misery.
• Happiness is not an occasional feeling, but rather the fundamental nature of our being.
• One should give their partner the freedom to stay for a day, year, or fifty years without feeling a need for them.
• We must say no from love, justice, and intelligence, not from feeling hurt or diminished.
• The nature of our being is peace and joy which is independent and unconditioned.
• Rejecting nothing and needing nothing allows innermost happiness to shine by itself.
