CLEAR ALL
Going into the weekend, we are challenged to bring more happiness and joy into our practices.
In Japan, there’s a concept called ikigai (生き甲斐) which speaks to living a life filled with purpose. Very often, when Westerners talk about finding your purpose, we talk about work, but ikigai is more than that. It’s finding your place in the world.
Very often, the dreams we have for ourselves are very different from the dreams that our loved ones may have for us. What is best for you is up to you, and no one else.
It’s easy to be kind when you’re in a good mood, but opportunities to be kind can arise at any time. It’s those moments when we have to deliberately choose kindness that can ultimately result in more happiness, than moments when we already feel kind.
We’ve heard a lot of questions about happiness lately. Mostly, “is it bad if I’m feeling happy?” That assumes there is a choice in how we feel. That question also forgets that there is enough space in the mind for compassion for someone else’s suffering, and enjoyment of your own life.
Is it possible to feel happy in the midst of a global health crisis? It depends on what you consider “happiness” to be. Happiness is often fleeting, but contentment and peace of mind are always there — even in times of great difficulty.
We view our own happiness as something separate from the happiness of others. Sharing in the joy of others can help us experience happiness more often, especially during times when we struggle to find the joy and happiness within ourselves.
In today’s society, everyone is entitled to their opinion and able to share their point of view, but we can often become stuck on our vantage point and not consider someone else’s opinion.
In the wake of the pandemic, the world around us is very different. Rather than trying to stay in our normal structures, we can use this new time as an opportunity to introduce something different into our routines.
Finding purpose in life is often a complex effort that generally leads to frustration and uncertainty. When we focus on the things that bring us joy and happiness, this is often a good starting point toward realizing purpose.
