The Recipe of Happiness

In fact, there is no single recipe for happiness.
Everybody might develop one's own.
First, you should tell yourself what you want most.
Peace and harmony?
Within or outside?
Here and there?
Simultaneously?
At once?
It doesn't work.
You have to choose.
I would tell you about my world.
About my choice.
About my harmony and happiness.

Fight-and-win is not for me.
That's my nature.
I like listening to music wherever it is:
in an MP3 player or in the woods.
The harmony that it carries cultivates in itself.
I listen to the vibrations it causes in the heart, in the legs, in the head.

I like walking, keeping a straight position.
It's like walking down a line through Niagara,
smiling, rejoicing in every moment of life.
It relieves excess stress.
It strengthens trust.
It expands the horizon, making the ordinary things unusual.

So that life doesn't get stale,
I learn simple things again:
how to drink water and wine, how to eat bread and honey,
how to taste cheese and olives,
how to breathe,
how to stretch and yawn.
I constantly train to put things in order:
in my thoughts, in my papers, in my house.
I live here and now, neither yesterday no tomorrow.
I'm looking for peace in my heart just to find happiness.
Feel free to try my recipe.
