happieness is a place

I finished college ,I got a job , I became a robotic zombie , I fell in love. I learned to dance the gangnam style .I caught the accent  ,I drank the vodkas ,I went to space, to zone ,I smoked a ciggy .I talked about politics, I voted for u .I quit smoking . I drank the coffee in Karmas coffee and sang a song or two in mojos park. I dated the prettiest girl. I slept with the one that gave it all. I lay awake still in bed hoping to do my best ,to be the best ,the next rock star the next coby Bryant .I want to be the next bill gates and spent my money but that I have not done. I have done it all I have done nothing .Wats next? Where to go?

Happiness is a place.i have to look for it .i want to  settle down there . I feel stuck now, Its been a few months that my girl friend has gone abroad for studies I find myself most of the time alone searching for direction of what I want out of my life. What do you want out of your life. What can we do to improve our life. These are a few steps that I know of and hope it helps you also . (I need this shit as much as you do).This is all of my wisdom from a depressed lazy ass shit man .take it if you want.

Please note that below is not a passage from a Buddhist book.It is not a lecture that you would hear from your parents or your boss .It is just a simple reminder for all of us to awaken the gentle spirit in all of us that makes our life simpler easier. It is to look at the simple things in life .

Meditate: Its only when u learn to listen to your heart that u will find true happiness .It is true. It is when u truly know how is that your brain works that you will know what happiness is all about. But please know that meditation can not be forced and it has to come naturally, to feel naturally.

Watch good inspiring Movies : Most of the people I know here in Thimphu are movie Buff. So watch a good movies.If you look at shitty stuff shitty things will get in and if you look at all the bright and beautiful things in  movies then u will get the best things.

Exercise : Your body is your temple ,as long as you are healthy your mentality will be happy as well.

Laugh and Joke : Do you have that certain some one who makes you laugh ,who makes you smile >Don’t let go off that person .Its not always about being serious life is too short to be sad .So laugh out loud.Go out of your way to find that joke that makes you laugh.

Express Your self : Always express your self ,of how you feel inside ,Be creative , be ambitious let it all out .Let it breathe free.

Sing : As loud as you can , you don’t need a good voice ,you are not here on an audition for a idol.You are her eto sing for your self and for your ears only.

Clean your place ,your self : Clean that shit up .no one likes a dirty slob. As long as you are clean your mind will be clean.The first step out of depression is to clean your self up.

Cant make every body happy all the time : Your father wants you to go get the groceries,Your mom wants to go to twon vit u.Your frens want to chill.Your girl friend wants u to cook for her.Set priorities.See which are important and which are just useless shit.and if it is always decline politely. No one has to be a door mat all the time.It does not make you a bad person.It just means you have your own shit to take care of like they have their own shit ot take care of . You cannot make all the people happy all the time.

Cook food and eat good food. : One of the best sources of relaxation for me to cook my own food and eat it. Basically what I am saying is eat good food ,have a full stomach meal and relax and tell me if that does not make you happy.

Donot stay all day in a dirty room doing nothing much /: This is for my self >Get up.Wash your self up .leave the laptop away and go out for a while .

Think positive when you wake up and when you go to sleep : This really works just when u wake up for 20 min think of all the good things you have in your life. Bethankful for all the things you have .And even when u are going to sleep do the same thing,that shit works like magic .

Love your loved ones with all the warmth inside : Life may be short, I don’t know I am just starting it but always take the time to let your special one know of all the love uhave inside for them.Thats the only thing that really makes sense in life. Other things come and go but its with the loved ones that you define your own life .So light a candle go for that dinner.Buy a present.Write that love letter.let out all the good ness all the warmth you have inside for the special loved one.

Be proactive. I don’t know what that really means but to me it means be prepared you know for any shit to come down.You got office ..boom you got ur clothes ironed your mind set ready shoes polished,,,You got party..boom …you got the shoes shined the mood all high and shit. So be proactive.

Be content : You got a cycle you will want a bike you got this youwill want that it goes on and on and on. Be content in wat you have.Always be grateful for wat u have and u will always smiel :D

Read a good book : Read Buddhism books knowledge is power.Read the kind of books that makes you say oh this is a good book .

Try and be nice to people  : not cause you are forced to do it and since the whole society makes u feel like u have to be nice > I mean no body died from people being nice to eachoteher .Saying hi heloow .sharing food  laughing all that .:D

Good music : listen to good music .The ones that u listen to .Since you have sucha  good taste and others don’t listen to what u listen to .

Drink occasionally:  drink like u are drinking because of the good taste u can feel in in ur body mind and soul and not to get drunk and wasted like a teenager looking to be wasted.Drink slowly drink smartly .drink occasionally.

 Be bold : tell me how to do it.

Do things you really want to do : I want to write ,sing and record ,play sports paint and make my living form either one of this.

Be laid back :There is no need for you to be the most popular the most seen the most happening person in town.U get tired of it .Wear a pajama sit at home read a book light a ciggy make a painitng .go meet a good friend .

Be calm and Breathe : nothing is as important as that all other things don’t really matter.Be calm breathe and shoot that shit head lol.Be calm and breathe.

This is it. : Your life is not happening when you get the next big job .it is not happening when u get the record deal .It is now .This is it .Take a look around things are beautiful .You are awesome and this is your life .make the most of it.

You are not your father brother sister or mother you are you embrace your self embrace your uniqueness .: The above line says it all >you are you. You are awesome. You are you’re your flaws you are you

Take risk : call that girl or boy you been wanting to .do the presentation . Sing the song .Do the shit .Take risk.

Its not always about the money : Money is important period but its not always about that. Its about breathing

Watch less tv

Worry less

Take a breath

smile

For today this is it
