true wisdom on happiness
From today on, I will share some valuable and true wisdom from some great people or books.
The true wisdom can’t be destroyed or changed. you can only find them. Fortunately for us, some gurus had found some of them.
Today is about the wisdom on happiness. I got them from a hand book by Lester Levenson. Perhaps you have heard of the sedona method, the author of which is one of the teachers in the film “the secret”. but do you know that the sedona method is just from the wisdom of Lester Levenson?
Now let’s begin.
Happiness is our inherent, natural state.
The best definition for happiness is peace, tranquillity, and serenity.
Happiness is the absence of apathy, grief,fear,jealousy,anger, and hate.
Happiness loves.

Thought are things: poem and inspired quotes
This morning, when I was learning the “11 forgotten laws“, I saw this poem from Henry Van Dyke. It was so special and attractive that I couldn’t wait to share with you all, my dear friends.
By the way, inspired by his poem, I Googled the Internet and found some philosophical and spiritual quotes. I love them very much and I hope you can love them too.
Thoughts are things
I hold it true that thoughts are things;
They’re endowed with bodies and breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought
Speeds forth to earth’s remotest spot,
Leaving its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought,
For good or ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought.
Thought is another name for fate;
Choose then thy destiny and wait,
For love brings love and hate brings hate.
Quotes from Henry Van Dyke:
A friend is what the heart needs all the time.
As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge.
Genius is talent set on fire by courage.
Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.
Happiness is inward, and not outward; and so, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are.
The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.
There are two good rules which ought to be written on every heart – never to believe anything bad about anybody unless you positively know it to be true; never to tell even that unless you feel that it is absolutely necessary, and that God is listening.
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
To desire and strive to be of some service to the world, to aim at doing something which shall really increase the happiness and welfare and virtue of mankind – this is a choice which is possible for all of us; and surely it is a good haven to sail for.
What we do belongs to what we are; and what we are is what becomes of us.

Gratitude & appreciation tip: pink love diffusion
Recently I use a new tip to create appreciation emotions: pink love diffusion. It makes it easy to show your gratitude to everything around you. It can also make the appreciation procedure more vivid.
What is “pink love diffusion”?
“pink love diffusion” means two steps:
- set a kind of color for love. For me, I set the color “pink” as the love’s color.
- when you begin the appreciation process, every time you think of one thing, you stain it with the love color. that is to say, if I want to appreciate my bed, I will try to see it stained to be a pink bed.
Love color is to make the appreciation process vivid. you can change the pink to any color you like.
Why use “pink love diffusion”?
For me, there are three benefits:
- make appreciation more interesting and vivid
- create appreciation emotions and be in them more easily
- make it easier to show appreciation to more things and people in your life.
How to do “pink love diffusion”?
To make the pink love diffusion practical and realistic, I summarize the “pink love diffusion” process into 4 steps:
- select a good place and time
Generally speaking, this process can be practiced anywhere and anytime. You can sit in your car, on the bus, on the fly or stand waiting for someone. It is you who decide to do it or not.
But to make it more effective, you can choose the time when you are alert and clear, for example, in the morning just after you get up or in the evening just before you go to sleep.
as to the place, the only key is whether you feel peaceful or not. Here I don’t mean that the place must be quiet, instead, I mean “peace” in your mind.
- select your favorite love color
There is no need to choose the same color with mine. Ask yourself to find what is your favorite love color.
for me, light or clear pink is my favorite color. It makes me feel warm and comfortable. Once beginning the appreciation, I become a designer who redesign the color of all the things around you.
- close eyes, adjust breath and appreciate with the help of love color
Close eyes to use your mental eyes. Adjust breath to make you easily get down into visualization state. Now It is turn to the leading actor: pink love diffusion.
To make the process explained clearly, I take one of my pink love diffusion procedure as example:
I close my eyes and begin diffusing the light pink love from my bed to all the places in my house. Bed, chairs, TV, desk, kitchen and so on are all covered by the light pink one by one.
Once I mentally see the color of something get changed, I say “Thank you” to it and try to feel the love.
The time cost of the whole process is totally depends on my choice. sometimes, I only spend 2 minutes to do it. sometimes, I will spend more than 15 minutes. The more time used, the more things I will show appreciation to.
My “pink love diffusion” tips up to now (keep undating)
- list the things to appreciate in advance
- increase the appreciation time cost little by little
- Pay attention to the feelings of love during the whole process
