Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation and freedom in all just pursuits.

Depression is beautiful?
Sri Daya Mata writes from Finding the JOY within you: “Introspection is a very healthy practice as long as you do not employ it to dwell on your weaknesses until you re plunged into depression, or onto such feelings of guilt that you begin to hate yourself. That is a misuse and abuse of self-analysis”. P 117
From the book, How To Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie: “Everybody in the world is seeking happiness-and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness does not depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions”. P 71
If you find yourself in a downward spiral, imagine you are like a plane spinning into a crash and ground control is commanding you to: Pull UP!! Pull Up!! It is what we must do when we allow some outer circumstance to spin us out of control. Controlling things from the inside out is a powerful way to control your energy and your mood.
