The 8 Principles of Joy-Part 2

Hi everyone and good morning. For those in the US we went back an hour, so all of us got an extra hour of sleep. I wanted to give you the remaining 4 principles.

  1. Forgiveness – We should learn to forgive. An eye for an eye will leave the world blind. If we choose to retaliate, the cycle of revenge will continue. We need to be the one to break this cycle. I am constantly telling our kids that.
  2. Gratitude – Be grateful for what you have rather than what you don’t have. Material things will never satisfy us because by their nature they will get damaged or break or in case of computers and smart phones they will become obsolete when a new model is released.
  3. Compassion – Is the sense of helping someone who is suffering.
  4. Generosity – We need to give back to society and those less fortunate than us.

Look folks, these principles are coming from two people who are at a very high spiritual level. I know from my own personal experience that it is very hard to put them into practice. But I try to do follow them whenever I can. I urge you to do the same.
