Happiness From Within

But of course, I myself would have had also done negative things that created negative outcomes. What sort of negative outcomes? Wow, hehe .. I am sure there are quite a few but nothing major as I feel I am always protected somehow, but you know, I may not always be protected from misfortune if I became reckless, irresponsible, idle etc etc, name all the negative habits and attitude .. It's not an easy task! But have you ever wondered why is it so hard for some people to stay 'good and experience goodness' and why so easy for others to do the same? I am sure we do know one of two friends around us who seemed to be those 'worry-free' kind? Happy go lucky kind? Those who's actually not easily affected by things around them and seemingly contented throughout their course of life and don't really get into trouble much? Yes, indeed, there are people like that, and its not just good karma .. but throughout our lives (and lifetime) we have alot of good and bad habits! These people have good habits and carry around them all the time (and probably have been like that for many lifetime) .. this can mean good thinking, good attitude, good actions, good heart, good intentions .. all sorts .. so they carry these forward throughout the many cycles of life! But this also mean, if you are always angry, sensitive, easily frustrated, unforgiving (any kinds of negative element) and you have had that alot before, most likely you still have it now ... and these elements not only keep you in that state for a long long time but perpetuates you to create more negative karma such as actions followed by anger, actions followed by jeolousy, actions followed by discontentment ... so you can see, it can be very accumulative and destructive! Awareness if the first step.. maybe that's why they call it the 'awakening', and next is to repent and take corrective actions .. that way you become a better and better person.. isn't that what all of us want? Ultimately to be happy ... Anyways, personally for myself, I have alot of cleaning up and self-improvement to do too, so .. while I get there, I just want to share my thoughts and hopefully open up some sleepy eyes ..
