Conscious people always have a choice of whether to try to modify the actions of people around them or to change their response to the incoming stimuli.

We always have enough to be happy if we are enjoying what we do have.

Happiness happens when your consciousness is not dominated by addictions and demands - and you experience life as a parade of preferences.

We see things not as they are, but as we are. Your addictions distort how you process the enormous flow of information that is constantly flooding in through all of your sensory inputs.

There is nothing that you can do to change the present moment. It simply is. You may be able to change the situation one second, one minute, one hour, or one day from now, but there's absolutely nothing you can do to change the way things are right here and now. By not getting irritated you will be more effective in doing what needs to be done to change the situation for the next moment.

All the study and effort toward higher consciousness can be eliminated if we do but one thing; Love it All.

I accept myself completely here and now and consciously experience everything I feel, think, say and do (including my emotion backed addictions) as a necessary part of my growth into higher consciousness.
