There are two kinds of satisfaction or happiness: one mainly through mental peace; another physical comfort
will-power human-potential humans
Human potential is the same for all. If you have will power, then you can change anything.
determination kindness compassion
A mind committed to compassion is like an overflowing reservoir - a constant source of energy, determination, and kindness.
honesty motivation real
I believe the ultimate source of blessings is within us. A good motivation and honesty bring self-confidence , which attracts the trust and respect of others. Therefore the real source of blessings is in our own mind.
responsibility roots needs
Our life depends on others so much that at the root of our existence is a fundamental need for love. That is why it is good to cultivate an authentic sense of responsibility and concern for the welfare of others.
world way transformation
Although attempting to bring about world peace through the internal transformation of individuals is difficult, it is the only way.
compassion hands attachment
The compassion we feel normally is biased and mixed with attachment. Genuine compassion flows towards all living beings, particularly your enemies. If I try to develop compassion towards my enemy, it may not benefit him directly, he may not even be aware of it. But it will immediately benefit me by calming my mind. On the other hand, if I dwell on how awful everything is, I immediately lose my peace of mind.
heart inner-peace world
Great changes start with individuals; the basis of world peace is inner peace in the hearts of individuals.
kindness compassion hands
Mentally, physically and emotionally we are the same. We each have the potential to good and bad and to be overcome by disturbing emotions such as anger, fear, hatred, suspicion and greed. These emotions can be the cause of many problems. On the other hand if you cultivate loving kindness, compassion and concern for others, there will be no room for anger, hatred and jealousy.
determination compassion demand
Compassion is not helpless pity, but an awareness and determination that demands action.
opportunity people suffering
At a fundamental level, as human beings, we are all the same; each one of us aspires to happiness and each one of us does not wish to suffer. This is why, whenever I have the opportunity, I try to draw people's attention to what as members of the human family we have in common and the deeply interconnected nature of our existence and welfare.
powerful inner-peace mind
The most important benefit of patience consists in the way it acts as a powerful antidote to the affliction of anger - the greatest threat to our inner peace, and therefore our happiness. The mind, or spirit, is not physical, it cannot be touched or harmed directly. Only negative thoughts and emotions can harm it. Therefore, only the corresponding positive quality can protect it.
