J. Krishnamurti on suffering and happiness…
The Truth of what is happiness will come if I know how to listen. I must know how to listen to suffering; if I can listen to suffering I can listen to happiness, because that is what I am. ~ The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti

Walking the path of life, take the time to notice the little things that are always in clear view. In those little things joy exists.

“The more often you listen to your discriminating awareness, the more easily you will be able to change your negative moods yourself, see through them, and even laugh at them for the absurd dramas and ridiculous illusions that they are.” – Sogyal Rinpoche

I am studying Existential Philosophy during Summer semester at UMass Amherst’s UWW. Suffice to say that studying existential philosophy can cause the self to reflect on the themes of the study in a very personal way.
I have struggled throughout my life, yet I still try always to maintain a sense of happiness regardless of my struggles because the very weight of one’s struggling can pull you down into darkness and depression. It is not always easy to maintain a sense of happiness because that weight can be so oppressive that sometimes it takes great deal of strength to throw it off and live life authentically with joy.
J. Krishnamurti says in The Book of Life
Sometimes it feels as though there is never enough money to get by on. That is a common concern for so many in the past 5-6 years (or more), myself included. Living within the means of the austerity plan can be quite tricky and downright depressing if you let it get to you and find yourself wallowing in worry and self-pity. When I find myself dipping into the well of worry over money, I know that I must re-mind myself that “I am abundant.”
Years ago I learned a simple mantra that has proven itself to be invaluable in the past couple of decades as I have struggled with entrepreneurship and single parenting. Everyone can use some re-minding from time to time. Affirmations work to re-mind us when we repeat them to ourselves over and over again. If you’re worried about financial concerns (or love), try this affirmation for a few days and see if things shift for you:
I am abundant ~ I have love…
I am abundant ~ I have money…

“In awareness there is no becoming, there is no end to be gained. There is silent observation without choice and condemnation, from which there come understanding. In this process when thought and feeling unfold themselves, which is only possible when there is neither acquisition nor acceptance, then there comes an extendsional awareness, all the hidden layers and their significance are revealed.”
~ J. Krishnamurti
