Thich Nhat Tu, Vietnamese Buddhist monk

Here are 6 life lessons that will inspire you to live a better life:

Never give up.

“The only way to excellent achievement is to try again and again with hope and confidence.”- Thich Nhat Tu

Failure is not the end of the world.

“Our failures are essential stepping stones to success. Motivate yourself and develop the will to win.”- Thich Nhat Tu

Do not waste your time

“There are so many things to do in this limited life span. So you have to manage your day and time wisely.”- Thich Nhat Tu

You can transform your enemy into a friend

“Compassion and loving kindness can transform an enemy into a friend, while right view and wisdom can transform suffering into happiness.”

Do not worry yourself about your past

“The art of living happily is to forget your past which no longer exists, not be worried about the future which has not come yet, and to live the present moment mindfully and wisely.”

Live in the moment

“Your excellent future depends on your present right actions.”-

Why You Should Stop Searching For Happiness

Happiness is driving the world crazy. We want happiness. We want it today. We want it now. We want happiness, but the question is, “Are we doing the right things? Are we loving ourselves? Are we loving other people? Are we giving out enough love? Are we giving out enough happiness? If not, we should stop searching for happiness.

You can’t find happiness by searching for it. You find happiness by giving it out to other people. Happiness is about love. It is about gratitude. It is about kindness.

If happiness is what you really want, if happiness is what is driving you crazy, stop searching for it. Because you will never find it. Why? Because happiness is a spiritual thing. You can’t touch it. You can’t catch it. You can’t move it. You can’t see it. But you can feel it.

Yes, you can feel it. It is about how you conduct yourself every day. It is about how you live your life every day. If you want to make yourself happier, according to Christian D. Larson, “Simply exercise general self-control in everything you do.”
