“World’s happiest man” shares his secret
A 69-year-old monk who scientists call the ‘world’s happiest man’ says the secret to being happy takes just 15 minutes per day

This is actually a different approach to meditation than any I have ever used. I may try it.
Enigmatically, happiness is no laughing matter. Last week’s article suggested that your happiness is a key to success in life. It is central to one’s functionality, the ability to get things done, overcome obstacles, set wise goals and diligently pursue them. Whether you believe in heaven or hell, wish to serve merely yourself, or instead wish to “serve” God, serve Jesus, or serve humanity — it’s essential to optimize your functionality, your effectiveness in life.
Fortunately, apparently, that can be fun!

URGENT APPEAL
☺ Please donate! ☺
It’s been a long time since I last invited donations. March 2019, it was.
The simplest way to donate, if one feels led to, is to use my GoFundMe. Just click on the words, “Please donate!” above.
“Thoughts and prayers” are just as important as any financial donation.
At this moment I have about $100 in savings, and $100 on my debit card. My next Soc. Sec. payment, ~$1,150, will arrive on 04/01. I will need another $100 to see me through till then. Continue reading URGENT APPEAL

There was no chapel last night, so at 7:15 we had the option to go straight to bed, with or without taking a smoke break first.
Some of us stood in the smoke pit rehearsing the things we don’t like about chapel. This one newcomer said, “The Bible’s all bullshit. If you read that stuff and you can’t tell it’s all bullshit, you must be mentally retarded.”

(2) What to do while you wait?
“A Stanford scientist says a simple psychological shift can make you more successful”
A Stanford scientist says a simple psychological shift can make you more successful
The headline left me skeptical. A scientist tells about success?
The article proves to be all about self-love, and backs up everything I’ve said about that subject. It also speaks to the issues I face at this moment in dealing with my feelings and the way I treat myself.
I urge you to read it.
