Key to Happiness

As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.

Dreams..

This song from the 90's was in my head the other night. It is still a great music.

Oh So True!

I think in many ways narrow minded-attitudes lead to extreme thinking.

Huh...I never thought

Today was the reception for Years of Service where I work.  They start honoring you once you reach 15 years and then every 5 after that.  I have been here for 15 years.  I have learned a lot these past 15 years.  I have learned a lot about my current profession, about myself and about people in general.  I have learned what I like, what I will tolerate and what I don't like.

One thing I do know for sure is I won't be here for 20.  What I like and willing to tolerate are quickly shifting to the negative.  Why?  Because watching people push other people's buttons for the fun of it and the "it's all about me" attitudes don't make it a fun place anymore. Too bad...I used to like it here.
