“Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are, it solely relies on what you think."
~ Buddha
I have five kids, ages five, five, eight, 11 and 17. They are the most fun and biggest teachers in my life.
It came to me this morning that it has taken me 17 years – hello? – to realize a simple truth. Kids. Love. Popsicles.
They love them! They make them so happy. And yesterday my twin sons and I figured out that if you buy the ones that are not frozen yet you get 100 for the same price as 18 of the already frozen ones – best ever!
"What does this have to do with anything?" You may be asking yourself.
This has to do with everything.
Life is really quite simple, but we insist on making it complicated. Confucius said this and I agree. Children show us how simple life, and happiness, really is.
Happiness does not depend on who you are or what you have. It depends on what you think. The Buddha said this.
Unless of course you are talking about Popsicles – I guess they didn't have Popsicles back then.
Have the best day ever!
Namaste!
