Just as you can read about in the Book Happy for No Reason. where the author talks about Happy for Good Reasons, Bad Reasons and - just as the book title - for NO Reason. See my post at: http://hpshappy.blogspot.com/2009/10/free-chapter-happy-for-no-reason.html All the Best, To your Happy Inspiration, HP Thanks for the great (guest) post,

When we really realize this on a deep level, we will live a life in infinite abundance. In all aspects of life! Sometimes (read: often) it takes some kind of reprogramming! Do not underestimate the power of habits!! Greetings, Claus D Jensen The real power is within us – NOT outside of us!

Very well put. This is especially true regarding people's attachment of acquiring more wealth to the point that they spend the rest of their lives trying to make more and nothing else. “Attachment – greed, craving, ambition – is the cause of all misery, and so to be detached is to be happy.”

It labels everything according to good or bad, it does not want to leave things as it is, it wants to react and make things in accordance to its whims. Stepping beyond our minds will put us on a plane of happiness and understanding. :-) Our mind is our enemy because it is the one that inhibits our inner self.
