Guard The Gates Of Your Mind

We have quite a few treasures in life, the treasure of happiness is one of the most important ones. This is the treasure that allows us to feel the abundance and beauty of life. This is what allows us to experience life to its fullest.

Protect it at all costs. No matter what happens, no matter what you lose on the outside, take care that you don't lose your happiness.

Every person’s value is in the thoughts they hold.
Rumi

How can we Protect our Happiness?

Happiness can be protected if we guard the gates of our minds. Awareness of what is going on inside will allow us to guard the gates of the mind. Choosing what quality of thoughts to entertain and what quality of thoughts we allow to pass through.

A few things that will help us improve the quality of our thoughts

• Forgive yourself and others.
• Accept situations and others as they are. Don't fight reality. Work with it.
• Count your blessings.
• Be grateful for what life has offered and appreciate the little things in life.
• Look at the challenges of life as ways to learn and move forward.
• Spend time doing what you love and find ways to love what you do.
• Keep on learning.
• Meditate
• Contemplating spiritual knowledge.

Your happiness will allow others around you to be happy. Being happy is one of the greatest services we can offer to those around us. This feeling is contagious. The energy of happiness can permeate through the energetic barriers unhappy people have created around them, allowing them to experience happiness too.

Let all beings in this world be happy and free from all suffering.

So, do you take a determined thought to guard the gates of your mind today?
