Live Happy: Learning By Example - based on the 16 Guidelines for Life

Fri, 04/23/2010 - 18:11 — Dekyi Lee

Who makes you happy?

by Dekyi Lee OldershawWhat makes you happy? There are so many different ways you, your friends and family may choose to find happiness. But the goal is the same: We all want to be happy.

I would like to introduce Learning by Example, a community campaign that celebrates the inner qualities that help us enjoy a happy life. We have tried to identify these in 16 Guidelines For Life. You probably excel in a couple of them, perhaps more.

One individual who excels in the qualities that lead to happiness is the Dalai Lama. But his society was once rife with conflict.

It was not until the 6th century that King Songsten Gampo helped all Tibetan society make a radical shift from violence to peace. The 16 Guidelines For Life are based on the inspirational values and principles he introduced to his people.

Now is a time when the same principles could help our society, when the world seems confused about what really leads to inner happiness and benefits those around us. These can help you and the people you love. Maybe even people in your life who you don’t really care about or even avoid.

We will introduce each of these qualities during the next 16 weeks, starting with qualities that strongly influence how we think. Our minds are powerful: if we change our minds, we can change our experience of the world.

The challenge: As we introduce the guidelines, one each week, we ask you to look for people in your everyday life who exemplify that specific quality in a way that leads to happiness for those around them. Look for individuals in your neighbourhood, home, work, community centre, church or any where you witness a person who lives that quality.

Then we invite you to nominate them for recognition, sending us their story and what they do that generates happiness using that quality.

Post your stories in the comments sections after each guideline so that we can celebrate their contributions to a happy society. The more we embrace the brothers and sisters who are our local heros, the more we are inspired to make our own lives meaningful and our community a happy place to be with each other.

Happiness

Happiness is a very difficult category, which everybody chooses for himself. Even professionals cannot describe these feelings. In my opinion, we can see it in people’s eyes. The happiness glows from inside of our soul.
For one person happiness is health, for another it is love or spirit. Some people think that happiness is only a short time of their life.
As a rule, we work to achieve our goal for a long time and if we are successful, we feel delight and joy. Sometimes we feel happiness when we see unbelievable scenery and beautiful buildings.
For me, happiness is my life. I enjoy every moment. Of course, if I have a career and a family I will be very happy. I think that everybody can be a happy person, because everyone has relatives, and friends, and opportunities which he can realize in the future. Unfortunately, many people think they are not happy, because they have a lot of problems. We do not remember any good events and things for a long time. We remember bad times and this is very typical for people. I believe that all people in the world are happy, but everyone should recall all actions in their life, which brought happiness.

This review contains spoilers! First what is good about the book, for the most part it is well-written (except the early pages), & it intrigues the reader into thinking what the connections may be. However, if I did not mind the extra labor, the approximate size is about the size of putting ten, five and two point five pound olympic plates on an olympic sized dumbbell handle. One of my tips for implementing what is taught is to use clockingit software, which is free on the web. The sound that Gustavo Santaolalla create for Brokeback Mountain (or to '21 Grams', 'The Motorcycle Diaries' and 'North Country' and his remarkable CD 'Ronroco' on the exquisite label Nonesuch - wich means very GOOD MUSIC) is absolutely fantastic.
