The key to happiness is inner peace and the greatest obstacles in our path are our emotions such as fear, guilt, suspicion, and attachment. By learning to live and love without attachment we will find the peace we are searching for. It is only when you are resistant to change that you will suffer.
I will share a story with you today from one of the great philosophers of our time, and it goes something like this:
“There was a farmer, who had a horse and one day the horse ran away. All of the neighbors came over to his house and said “Oh that’s terrible, what terrible fortune” and the farmer replied- maybe.
The following day the horse returned and brought with him 7 wild horses, and the neighbors came to his house, and said “Oh, well that’s wonderful” and the framer replied –maybe.
