Whether this moment is happy or not depends on you.
It’s you who makes the moment happy,
not the moment that makes you happy.
With mindfulness, concentration, and insight,
any moment can become a happy moment.
Happiness is not something that arrives in a package in the mail.
Happiness does not fall out of the sky.
Happiness is something we generate with mindfulness.
You may like to take a piece of paper and sit somewhere quietly—
perhaps in a park, under a tree, or in your favorite spot—
and write down all the conditions of happiness you already have.
You will soon discover that one page is not enough;
even two, three, or four pages are not enough.
You may begin to realize you are much luckier than many people.
You already have more than enough conditions to be happy,
and gratitude and joy naturally arise.

Zenfully Quool Quotes Quommentary – by rog
It’s good to know that real happiness
is not dependent on materialistic conditions…
Thus,
The chaos of life that is incessantly bombarding us
every moment of the day…
Can only affect us as much as we let it.
For some, the injustices of our world create an energy
that motivates them to do what they feel they have to…
to help those that are being disenfranchised.
The other side of that is…
They often get crippled with compassion.
So affected by anger, that they can no longer be objective
and stay focused on the solution.
They allow their egos to rule with anger…
When Loving Kindness and equanimity are much needed.
