20) Practicing Balance, Kindness, Compassion, Joy, Equanimity

Keeping balanced keeps the mind free from turbulence. It keeps the mind bright and aware.

Regular contemplation of infinite kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity, to achieve happiness for all living beings, changes our lives in a BIG way!

Contemplation on these four gives real meaning to our lives. We know we weren’t meant to just live, consume and die. Deep inside we know we were meant for much greater things. We were meant to love, serve, help and nurture others, and to help make them happy.

This shifts our focus from selfish things such as our next holiday, house, car, to focusing on the things in life that are genuinely fulfilling, rewarding.

Selfishly focusing on ways to get bigger and better holidays, houses, cars is compulsive, exhausting and leaves us feeling empty.

Helping others find happiness helps us Be Happy
