Another quick tip:
You cannot depend on your contacts, your car, your muscles, your appointments, your busy-ness, women, or anything else to make you happy.
All of those things should be outgrowths of your inner happiness.
How be happy you ask?
Happiness is being who you want to be.
Franz Liszt, one of the greatest piano players of all time used to bag ***** all over Europe. Why? Because he was one hell of a piano player, and when he was in his element. On that piano. He couldn't be stopped.
You don't have to be a rockstar, or a football player, just be who you want to be.
Siddhartha spent his life in three stages.
1. He denied his flesh, separating himself from desire.
2. He spent time with a ***** who taught him about sex and money, and earthly treasures.
still unhappy both ways.
3. He realised it was the experience that counted and lived OVER DESIRE, YET ENJOYED IT.
I believe another poster recently said this same thing.
It's good to reiterate good points.
Anyway, the point of this thread is this: There will come a day where nobody but yourself will determine the meaning of your life. Nobody and no outside thing will help. At this moment, try being who you want to be which is a continual process, and then watch as the little things we used to focus on so much fall into place.
