“If you decide that you’re going to be happy from now on, for the rest of your life, you will not only be happy, you will become enlightened. Unconditional happiness is the highest technique there is.” 
~ Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul: the Journey Beyond Yourself

This is the highest path; unconditional happiness creates an atmosphere of purity. When you choose to enjoy the journey, regardless of outer circumstances, you are no longer controlled by conditions. You are a conscious creator.

We give away our personal power when we allow happiness to be conditional. When we say “I’ll be happy when and if…” we allow outer circumstances, events and others to determine the quality of our lives.

The principle is simple, but not easy to apply in daily life. For unconditional happiness requires a steadfast commitment and discipline. But when we really commit to feeling good, no matter what, we live without struggle or strain and know what it means to be enlightened.

 What is enlightenment?

 Lao Tzu, a Taoist philosopher said “Knowing others is wisdom,  knowing yourself is enlightenment.”

To understand oneself, requires stillness and going within to listen, trust and act upon your innate wisdom. For no teacher or guru can know you better than you can know yourself.
