So long as we are slaves to the dissatisfaction and frustration that arise from the confusion that rules our minds, it will be just as futile to tell ourselves “I’m happy! I’m happy!” over and over again as it would be to repaint a wall in ruins.

The key to happiness is our expectations, and unrealistic expectations guarantee unrealized happiness.

To be happy we need something to solve. Happiness is therefore a form of action;

If you examine the thought forms that cause you to be unhappy, you’ll realize that they mostly stem from attachments to illusions and false beliefs.
