happy things

If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought. — Peace Pilgrim

I post this every year but it’s worth it to remind myself to plant flowers, in the garden and in my mind and whenever I get a chance, in the hearts of others.

'Always remember, child,' her first teacher had impressed on her, 'that to think bad thoughts is really the easiest thing in the world. If you leave your mind to itself it will spiral you down into ever-increasing unhappiness. To think good thoughts, however, requires effort. This is one of the things that need disipline –training- is about. So train your mind to dwell on sweet perfumes, the touch of this silk, tender raindrops against the shoji, the curve of the flower arrangement, the tranquillity of dawn. Then, at length, you won't have to make such a great effort and you will be of value to yourself.'

James Clavell, Shōgun (via quoted-books)

“When someone tells you, “I love you,” and then you feel, “Oh, I must be worthy after all,” that’s an illusion. That’s not true. Or someone says, “I hate you,” and you think, “Oh, God, I knew it; I’m not very worthy,” that’s not true either. Neither one of these thoughts hold any intrinsic reality. They are an overlay. When someone says, “I love you,” he is telling you about himself, not you. When someone says, “I hate you,” she is telling you about herself, not you. World views are self views—literally.”

So, what if, instead of thinking about solving your whole life, you just think about adding additional good things. One at a time. Just let your pile of good things grow.

I just came back from yoga, we had this amazing meditation with colors. Suddenly, I had a brilliant idea.

The Happiness Rainbow is your own rainbow, at the end of the day, you have collected colors. Draw your own rainbow and see which colors are missing. Can you still fix that? Try to get all the colors every day! I hope this will bring happiness to you! I really believe colors are stronger than words. You can write down how you feel, but why not draw it with the colors? 

Please reblog if you think this is a good idea, I really hope I can help people with this!

Your feelings are valid simply because you feel them.
