"You feel pleasure when you want something and you get it. Or when you don't want something and you remove it. Pleasure is always relative. Happiness is absolute. Happiness is the understanding and acceptance of life as it is in this very moment as completely perfect, because every creation of God is perfect. The degree to which you do not accept life in all of the Divine forms is the degree to which you suffer."
Powerful statement, right? Never thought of it like that. I, like most people I'm sure, want to be happy but we get so caught up in the things we don't have or have not achieved. And in order to find that happiness we seek, there comes a point where we have to realize that fair is for the next life. Your life may not be what you want it be (yet). You may not have your dream job, car, house, lover/partner/mate, etc. But yet in still, we should be happy everyday. Happiness has nothing to do with pleasure.
