Many believe that for spiritual progress, one has to change his ward robe, diet and life-style and adopt a more sombre pattern. A few inspired ones change everything except their thinking. They fail to benefit, get frustrated and give up. The wise one focuses only on ‘attitude’ and so succeeds.
One has a fundamental choice in every situation, at every moment. You can be unhappy and complain or you can be happy and cheerful. It has nothing to do with the world. You could have had the best of the things and yet be miserable OR you have nothing and yet can be deliriously happy. The difference is ATTITUDE.

In life everyone is denied of something. But all of us have been blessed with millions of gifts.

But if you focus on what you don’t have you will be unhappy. If you focus on what you have, you are grateful and you develop an irresistible desire to share, contribute, and give and this makes you happy. Do you have conflict with the people you love most? Do you love blame the ‘other person’ for it? Maybe it has to do with your attitude. Do you have expectations of your family members? This is not love. It is attachment. Love tainted with selfishness is attachment. You only love yourself. You claim to love because they happen to cater to you in some way. This causes conflict and suffering and in the end you lose them. Attachment is single most important reason for breakdown in relationships.

The world and all that it offers is temporary, & fleeting. If one understands the transient nature of the world he will be happy. Begin the discovery of ‘the permanent’. The journey itself is thrilling. Then you will experience true & lasting happiness irrespective of what you have or do not have. So change your attitude and not lifestyle and your life will change from drudgery to revelry; from Mediocrity to Excellence.
