Our happiness…who is responsible?

Posted on by philipdodson

Our happiness – It’s our responsibility.

We get to choose what we do and how we choose to see life.

When we fail to take responsibility and expect others people or other things to make us happy, then we will always be disappointed.

Of course, we can not always be happy, however, we can always choose to be at peace within to whatever. When we accept everything as it already is then inner peace comes.

When we accept our responsibility for our own happiness, strangely, we become happier.

It’s our film, we need to be the star and not sit back as an extra or simply a viewer of our life. We are not the passenger on our bus, we are the driver.

Stuff, who needs that shit?

Possession aren’t the route to happiness.

They are the way to burden and suffering. We attach ourselves to them and then we suffer and fear the loss of them.

Our ego uses them as a weapon of superiority.

We can step away from this burden at any point. It’s a choice we can all make. We can unlearn the conditioning of the consumer society.

Joy is a choice, it is the path, the route. It comes from our very essence and soul. However, it is clouded when we seek happiness from the external world.

When we allow joy to flow we realise there is no need to accumulate possessions. It is a never ending route to suffering within, as whatever we accumulate there can bc always be more or someone who has bigger or better stuff. We become dissatisfied in search for happiness in the hollowness of materials.
