If we were as conscious of our intentions as we are of our appearance, then, in my opinion, we would be much happier than we are now. Our appearances may
have some importance, but it is certainly not as essential as our intention. Although looks may sometimes bring us fame and wealth, but they cannot bring us freedom. By contrast, good intentions will guarantee us love, respect, and eventually liberation.
And a Story to share with you…….
This is how the Lord Buddha Sakyamuni replied to a woman who wanted to be happy in her life: “A woman asked the Buddha, how she could be happy? Lord Buddha said to her, first, if you want to be happy, you have to remove ‘I’ because that is ego. Second, you have to remove ‘want’ which is desire. After this, if you then look within all that you are left with is happiness”. This exchange demonstrates that our happiness is hidden deep within, underneath all our negative emotions, and once we clear these poisons then there is no reason why we cannot be happy.
