I was very taken by a quote I managed to catch a glimpse of recently as i was scrolling through facebook while waiting for a client.
" The amount of Happiness you have can only be as much as the amount of space you have in your heart"
I did not manage to catch who's quote it was but I find this so wonderful and meaningful and so true. You can never be very happy if you carry much greed, resentment and anger in your heart cause it just takes too much space that there are less moments for happiness.
Day by day we are turning into robots.. as we are caught in the whole process of accumulation and chasing never ending achievements. Moving forward and back between past and future. Never being fully present at the moment. Always trying to get somewhere or away from something.. Seeking a pat on the back from peers and bosses.
Its an endless state of confusion of rushing to places where we don't really know where or what or how. Drifting through the air like a leaf in the breeze... Not feeling, or thinking.. only moving through the motions unfulfilled and trying to find a ground which we call happiness and why does it all fail?
Because our hearts are so filled with expectations of how we think we should be treated, or from past resentments kept within our hearts, from frustration of dreams unfulfilled, from our ignorance and twisted ideas, wanting more and more and not realizing we are co-dependent on our environment.. we are forever trying to fill the hole in our hearts..
But how can we possibly pour pure water into a contaminated cup without having poured the contaminated contents out and expect it to be clean and abundant? Keep it simple... clear the gunk and the cup will fill...
