A nice surprise

To my surprise I think I found the FIRST author besides my favorite Anthony De Mello who tells so many funny stories in between the actual material, not always linking the topics. This is the way the books should be! FUN! Some random ideas:
* It's not a problem if you want to be happy - but Problem if you rant to be happy all the time.
* You have to be calm to be at peace - and at peace to b happy.
* When someone is not happy then we can try to bring him in touch with a past thing when they were happy, where they felt pride in.
* If You are NOT at peace right now, this is not bad - this might be nature preparing you for something. Maybe to thrust you into greatness soon.
* If you battle to keep things in your life the way they are, you can not live.
* You don’t have to have some mayor glorious goal - just pick something up and run with it, life has to have SOME meaning.
* You need other people! Some time spend for you, some for others. If only on you, you can be rich etc - but not happy. You need others for that.
* There should be a balance with other things in life and one mustn't be obsessed only about one thing. There are other things important in my life as well.
* Excessive thinking is a mental disease. And why bother, since you ain't intelligent to figure it all out anyway :)
* How many friends you have depends on how many “positive sum” (adding to their lives) conversations you have in any day - meaning where you give to other people.
* When you like a flower, you pluck it. When you love a flower, you water it. In attachment we want to own and dictate. In love we want to grow and participate.
* Fear is here because we do not understand the reality. It will be gone in a second when you understand that a snake was actually a rope - and now there is no fear whatsoever. The same with things that disturb us - it’s only because we do not understand them, do not understand the reality.
* To attract the right person in your life you have to become the right person
* Nobody has ever gained strength by feeling helpless being a victim
* When your passion becomes your obsession then at one point it will consume you and drive you crazy. That’s one reason why it’s good to change one’s life from time to time.
* It’s easy to check if You have harmony in Your life - do things disturb You easily? :) One living in harmony does is not disturbed, or at least is not disturbed easily.
* You can only help those people that are like You, that value what You seem to value. You can not change most of the people, because Your ways are not what they want.
* Don't do things with an impatient mind - because then your aim is only finalizing it, not the process.
* Claims an enlightened person creates a totally different atmosphere around them. Then I am not enlightened, because I only create this inner peace for me :)
* You can not stop your bad habits by force, one has to be done with them, to rise above them.
