A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world.

Allow yourself emotion-backed demands only for physical necessities such as air to breathe, food if starving, and shelter if freezing.

If your washing machine stops working and you're addicted to appliances that work, you'll get upset and you will suffer. If you prefer that your appliances work well, then when your washing machine breaks down you won't compound the problem by superimposing your uncomfortable emotions on the situation.

Once again, when you upgrade sensations from an addiction to a preference, you can enjoy things such as gourmet food and music, without having your happiness depend on them.

You can always create your own experience of life in a beautiful and enjoyable way if you keep your love turned on within you- regardless of what other people say or do.

It is only your mental habits and your selected memories of how you think things are that keep you from moulding things in your life in a more harmonious way.

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