If we choose happiness and joy and put our Will behind them, that is what we will achieve.
I don't smoke, drink or do drugs. I've spent the last couple of decades working on myself, and I like what I've done so far.
I was born with a questioning nature. This goes especially for authority. My upbringing and lack thereof taught me not to accept things just because someone says so, especially when there is any form of submisson to power involved.I have faith in things I can see and that benefit me; the Sun, the rain, the environment, the will to do good to one another and medical science. Although there is no evidence for the existence of any mythological beings, I engage in ecstatic worship because it feels good.
Happiness is an inside job, it's my responsibility and I have access to happiness regardless of outside circumstances. I maintain a happy attitude by dwelling on happiness and love, giving loving care to my body and prolecting love and goodwill out to everyone. That means everyone. I believe that spiritual connections with other human beings are real, even if they are nothing more than brain chemistry. Having emotional connections with other people seems to be what we were born to do.
I'm eleven years into a mortgage on a house in the suburbs. I spend my weekends in the warm part of the year cycling, hiking and gardening. Yeah, I grow flowers and tomatoes on my property.
