Excerpt from Idle Thoughts: Law of Happiness 2

In order to become truly happy


From a practical application perspective


* If you truly want to be happy, first, make others happy.


* If you want something, first, give to others.


* If you want to be truly free, first, let others be free.


* If you want to be loved, first, love others.


* If you want to feel at ease from the heart, then make others feel at ease.


* If you want to be truly good friends, take initiative to become good friends


* If you want to be understood, first, listen well to what others say.



From another angle


* The truth is, there is nothing to worry about.


* The truth is, there is nothing to fear.


* The truth is, there is no such thing as happiness for only oneself.



Three keys to open the treasure box of life

(Shigemasa Wada sensei's words)


1. A miserly attitude is not good


2. Do not avoid things you don't like.


3. Do good things


Please always carry these three keys in your chest pocket and be creative in the way you use them.
