Emotional Intelligence 101: Get a Clue - Get a Grip - Get a Life!: I have a gripe... about Happiness.

I read a quote this morning...

"Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable."

- Leo C. Rosten

sounds good, right?
well, I say, "BULL". I don't buy that.
I can choose to do nothing whatsoever, and still be totally Happy and at peace. Here's one I buy...

"All spiritual disciplines are done with a view to still the mind. The perfectly still mind is universal spirit."

-- Swami Ramdas

The perfectly still mind is also happy and content.

In fact,

“Happiness is a journey, not a destination. For a long time it seemed
to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some
obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business,
time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these
obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness.
Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that
time waits for no one.”

- Souza

I believe Happiness is about Opening the heart, not Pushing the heart. well, actually, at first, we gotta Push the heart, to get all the yucky, painful, childhood stuff outta there, to make room for the good. However, I've found that once we've done the emotional work and healing, we can relax, Open our hearts, and enjoy!
