We had a holiday today. We went to Passau to visit Melly, Ramona's sister. I am happy; it was such a nice day! It was a drive of two and a half hours. Ramona was driving and we were listening to music. In Passau we saw Melly's new flat and when she had to go to university for two hours we went to visit the city of Passau. It is a really beautiful city! In the evening Melly took us to a pizzeria in which she claimed that we would find "the best pizza ever, at least in Passau". And it was true! It was a perfect dinner with wonderful service and delicious pizza in a great atmosphere. I thus gave a generous tip to our waitress which, as Melly said "made her day". Well, when you are happy you can make others happy! Like this you can spread the happiness. Give something to others when you are satisfied yourself. That will increase your happiness even more.

This is a very nice idea. Even when you don't feel happy in yourself, making someone else happy could actually turn your mood around! Here is an example from the Western world: I have a friend who was buying a coffee at a drive-thru Starbucks. She had ordered her drink and was waiting to drive up to the window to pay and receive the drink. But when she approached the window, she was delighted to find out that the woman from the car in front of hers had already paid for her drink! She was a complete stranger, but just felt like passing on a good deed for the day. It definitely made my friend happy and she passed on the good deeds too!

I have a small-deeds quota for everyday, I must do three in the morning and two in the afternoon.

Yes! And I find that sometimes when I seem momentarily stuck in confusion or unhappiness, making someone else happy through some action makes me happy! Because happiness seems to spread from one person to the next (not always of course). One small deed of kindness even when I don't necessarily feel like giving from my heart can present me with the gift of happiness from another!

Your 'inner voice' is a combination of your feelings and your experiences, a way of your subconscious mind to tell you what would be good. It is nothing divine.
SourceDo what you feel is right. Yes, you may need some more courage to face a few more storms than others. It might get uncomfortable sometimes but it would be much more uncomfortable for you to go against what you really want to do.
SourceIt is nothing new that this society is focused on money. It is nothing new that the masses don’t care about the individual. But what about you? Why are you playing along?
SourcePeople in India have something to give to the traveller. They can show you how to make the best of what you have. To be satisfied. To be happy. Not to compare yourself with everyone else and feel bad about it. To realize how rich you really are, not only materially but emotionally, in your heart. You learn to value the small things again and you find back to an inner happiness that cannot be shaken easily anymore.
SourceNever give your partner the feeling he is unwanted or not needed. In love it is necessary that you have the feeling the other one wants you. You will have the pride that you are worth something to the other one.
SourceIf people forget the sense of rules, they are just rules without a background which leads to a blind following of rules instead of the understanding of life. See why rules are there and understand their meaning.
SourceReligion started as a tool to explain the inexplicable.
SourceI trust you' is more valuable than 'I love you'.
SourceDoes a soul get more comfort by expensive rituals after death?
SourceReligion is a dictatorship with inflexible outdated laws.
SourceSometimes ego and anger can bring a darkness to your heart with which you do not even care about the happiness of your children although you love them. This love is not pure but driven by ego.
SourceStop running behind achievements and appreciation from outside. Appreciate yourself, love yourself and take time for yourself.
SourceThe great Indian culture says that falling in love is a crime. You teach your daughters not to talk to male college classmates but expect them to sleep with a complete stranger after their wedding.
SourceThere are two kinds of animals: carnivores, like lions and tigers which eat meat and herbivores, like cows and horses which eat plants. Our whole body structure, our metabolism and our jaw are more similar to that of cows than of tigers. Our teeth are perfect for grinding grains and vegetables and not for tearing apart animal flesh.
SourceChildren live fully and completely in the presence.
SourceWhen you are happy you can make others happy! Like this you can spread happiness. Give something to others when you are satisfied yourself. That will increase your happiness even more.
SourceMany people think of God as a very distant, unreachable power. For them God is not close and their prayers are very formal. A prayer is something special and can be in many forms, not only certain words. But you need closeness, your heart should be in your prayer.
SourceBeating children only creates anger as well as the thought: ‘Okay, now I am small, you are big, let me become big and then we will see!’
SourceThe Guru and master who started a tradition also asks you to pay for being a follower and franchisee. And in this business the essence of yoga is lost.
SourceWe all should be more open towards others and take life easy.
