6 Things the Wisest and Happiest People Do Differently
Being happy and wise are timeless skills, not something you wait for.
It’s more like riding a bike — a skill you practice and get better at over time. As the Dalai Lama says:
Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.
Try doing one of these 6 things every day, you’ll cultivate more wisdom and happiness in your life.
Don’t judge the present moment
Your mind is the perfect storyteller.
It has huge expectations about how other people should behave, how the weather should be, how you should be…
Should, should, should…
When you take a breath and cancel all the ‘shoulds’ in your head you’ll be left with a tiny moment of peace.
William Shakespeare puts it beautifully ‘There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.’
It takes a lot of patience and practice to stop judging but once mastered you will see reality:
Everything is just as it is.
