There is only one way, and to the chagrin of many, it is not your way, any way, someone’s or everyone’s way! Happily, you’ll know the way when you’re on the way and YOU are always “on the way.” Don’t overthink it!

Happiness is not a derivative of your ability to judge the differences between this or that. It exists regardless of your distinctions but is most apparent when you don’t make any distinctions. Do you see?
It is not possible to dive naked into a pool of water and not get wet. Likewise, happiness is a pool that only asks that you plunge into its depths without judging how wet you will get or what that wetness consists of. Life is swimming; even if you don’t know how to swim, always take the plunge. See you at the pool!

The playground of happiness is always open, never guarded, and admission-free. The only thing that keeps us from entering is our Mind’s crazy idea of happiness. The thought of happiness is the demise of it. So, stop thinking about it, and let’s play.

Happiness is not what we do, places we go, things we learn, beliefs, acclaim, friendships, etc. The truly happy are those who have paid no price for it. Happiness is our essence, not some formula devised to achieve it, and it hides in the most elusive place known to humans. That is in our thoughts of where we think it should be. Stop the thoughts; happiness is YOU right now!

Happiness requires no self to be. That is, no self that feeds on things it believes cause happiness. Love and joy are the same. All these things defy cause and effect. There is no cause for love, joy, or happiness. They just are.

Our earthly experience is entirely unbiased and neutral in every way. We add the bias, the judgments, and thoughts about what is happening and why. That is our confusion. Our minds muddle experiences, creating suffering and short-lived happiness in an endless parade of wants and desires. Any wonder why we need to be “out of our minds?”

The purpose-driven life has its roots in the idea that we, as humans, have come into existence for some divine purpose, the finding of which can be our only way to happiness. It is not so; the purpose of life is living, and you are purposeful with every breath you take
