PEACE
is the foundation of Happiness
— for where there is Anxiety,
Tension and Turmoil,
Joy cannot exist.
Many people try building a tower of happiness on a foundation of anxiety and tension. In time, such a tower will crumble and fall. If you really want to be happy, you must first learn to have Peace, Tranquility and Calmness. These are the emotions on which happiness is built. People believe that they can live a life full of tension and anxiety and still find happiness. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way.
Peace is essential for finding lasting happiness. You might have all the things that make you happy but if you lack peace, though you might have your happiness, it will only be for a short period. Build your life’s happiness tower over a strong foundation of PEACE.
