Don't Seek Happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness

Whenever you are engaged in something and there is an outpouring of energy, you are in enthusiasm.

Instead of being lost in your thinking, when you awaken you recognize yourself as the awareness behind it. Thinking then ceases to be a self-serving autonomous activity that takes possession of you and runs your life.

Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.

A self - a me - exists in every thought and every emotion. Suffering arises through complete identification with thinking and emotions.

Many people identify their sense of self with the problems they have, or think they have.

Surrendering only refers to this moment, whatever "is" at this moment - to accept unconditionally and fully whatever arises at this moment.
