A Good "Happiness" Retreat 7/11

The 4 day retreat has come to an end. It was good. In the book "The Art of Happiness" by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler, MD (pg 62-64): "...it is often useful just to stand back and remind ourselves of our overall purpose, our overall goal. It may be useful to take an hour, an afternoon, or even several days to simply reflect on what it is that will truly bring us happiness, and then reset our priorities on the basis of that. This can put our life back in proper context, allow a fresh perspective, and enable us to see which direction to take.
So let us reflect on what is truly of value in life, what gives meaning to our lives, and set our priorities on the basis of that. The purpose of our life needs to be positive. We weren't born to cause trouble, harming others. For our life to be of value, I think we must develop basic good human qualities - warmth, kindness, compassion. Then our life becomes meaningful and more peaceful - Happier."
I hope you are able to create some time for your own retreat so you too will be happier!
