| The secret to happiness is finding the perfect balance between desire and gratitude.
What does your heart yearn for? What makes you so grateful you want to do cartwheels? Smack dab in the middle of those two lies happiness. – Lissa Rankin, Your Inner Pilot Light |

 Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.

 A Guide to Generosity
Two important things about true giving: First, it requires some sacrifice on the part of the giver. To give away something that one doesn’t need is not dana. Second, the act must not be condescending but must show respect to the one who receives the gift. In fact, one is grateful to the recipient who makes the act of giving possible. – Taitetsu Unno, “Three Grapefruits” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Mini Mindfulness Break for January 08, 2020
 If you focus all your attention on appreciating your life without being honest with yourself about where you want more, you might find yourself turning your back on the tender vulnerability of your deepest yearnings. It simply hurts too much to open yourself to the potential disappointment of not having this unmet longing met. But if you constantly desire more without being grateful for what you have right now, you’ll never feel satisfied. This puts you at risk of constantly feeding the “hungry ghost”–the gaping hole that wants more, more, more but never gets full, no matter how many desires get fulfilled.

 In-law Dharma
We should be especially grateful for having to deal with annoying people and difficult situations, because without them we would have nothing to work with. Without them, how could we practice patience, exertion, mindfulness, loving-kindness or compassion? It is by dealing with such challenges that we grow and develop. So we should be very grateful to have them. – Judy Lief, “Train Your Mind: Be Grateful to Everyone” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Mini Mindfulness Break for June 02, 2019
 I love you when you’re juicy, full of aliveness, and feeling the buzzing energy of calm excitement in your body.
I love you when you feel numb, depressed, and empty. I love you when you’re dancing on tiptoe, spinning with ecstasy and feeling grateful for the gift of being alive. I love when you’re too exhausted to care for yourself, much less anyone else. I love you when you’re smack dab in the center of your life purpose, feeling the deep joy of knowing you’re giving your gifts to the world. I love you when you’re in the space between stories, you don’t know why you’re here, and you feel lost, rudderless, and desperate to find your calling. Honestly, darling, I don’t have a preference. Others might say it, but I really mean it. I love you just the way you are. (Cue Billy Joel . . . doo wa doo wa.)

Mini Mindfulness Break for April 19, 2019
 I’m grateful for every day as a holyday, and count my many blessings, with cherishment and reverence, including all of you.
The body is like a vehicle; the head is the office or driver’s seat, but the heart is our home. As this holyday season approaches, may we all together take a collective moment to count our blessings and feel the warmth of gratitude in our good hearts. – Lama Surya Das |

 The Key to Happiness
Grace is the key to happiness. When bad things happen, if we have confidence in grace, then we can remain grounded in that and not be overwhelmed by the soap opera of life. And grace is a circular blessing. The more grace enters your life, the more grateful you are. The more grateful you are, the more easily grace seems to enter. – Dharmavidya David Brazier, “Let Grace In” |
