twinself: I think......most of the time....our brain is always messed up with where we want to be, where we want to go, what we want to achieve...be it love, work, success, the boat, the car, the house..... Like a neverending fast race towards some hypothetical goal...
but
we forget to live and appreciate the NOW.... the things and people that are REAL and precious to us right NOW.... Happiness is not the future, it is inside us all the time, if we truly know what to look for...
jeffc320: What is it you do that enables you to be at peace with yourself, feel comfortable with who you are and happy with your life ? So many people are wrapped up in finding love that they tend to forget to love themselves. anyone done this and learned any valuable lessons in life ? (Please be serious)
Obtaining peace in mind in my experience, firstly required stilling my mind, by that I mean stopping the continuous grasping thought process. If your able to observe your thought process you’ll likely notice we follow a thought and before any conclusion or resolve we grasp into the next thought, on and on, an endless process. If you take notice of your thought before going to sleep, though acknowledging other thoughts during our dream state, you’ll probably notice when you wake the same thought that you had before sleep is the same thought you wake to.
I believe stilling the mind is most important, if we are unable to still our mind we continue to grasp any thought that arises. A simple breathing meditation helped to still the mind. Grasping for happiness outside of self is a form of stupidity, feeling comfortable who we are can surely only occur if we are able to to perceive what's actually truly important and what's not.
I learnt more from a simple breathing meditation than probably any other activity

Through this thread people state that wealth/money/success doesn't bring happiness. I tend to agree to a point, but not totally. I always say; "Money doesn't bring you happiness, but it makes living in poverty comfortable"
