Too busy, too stressed, too important to give a helping hand and make a difference? I believe that once we stop and get out of our own way, we not only discover how much we have to give, but also that we have much joy and richness to experience in that transaction.

Be Happy! Do Your Duty Happily without Attachment to its Results

To be happy one should do one's duty without attachment to its results. In Gita Lord Krishna teaches this philosophy of Nismam Karm to Arjun. If we are not too anxious about the success or failure of our efforts but are interested in only doing our duty to the best of our ability, we do not become unhappy when the results are not as expected. Doing our duty is under our powers not its results.

Be Happy! Happiness is just a Matter of Mind

Happiness is inside us. It is in our minds. If we think we are happy, we are. Just by thinking we can make ourselves happy or unhappy. Be positive, be optimistic, see the brighter side of life and you will always be happy. The mind has power over matter. Just by thinking of good things, we can make good things happen to us and make us happy. See the rose, not the thorns; see light, not the shadow; see half-full glass, not half-empty.
