Happiness Presuppositions

1. All Individuals are equal. No one is better, no belief is better, no way is better, just different from yours.

2. The number of people holding a belief does not necessarily make it right.

3. Since no-one or no way is better than another, and since numbers do not make truth, there is no basis for moral judgment. Therefore the basis for observation is what does and does not work.

4. The most valuable compass or guide is yourself.

5. You have everything you need, all you have to do is choose.

6. Acceptance sets you free. Denial traps and imprisons.

7. A problem or suffering is the world telling you what you have misunderstood.

8. No one will live a life untouched by pain and tragedy. Accept pain and grief and move through them at your own pace. However do not use them as a badge or excuse.

10. Your life is a reflection of your beliefs.

12. Reality is subjective not objective. This doesn’t make you or another wrong, just different.

13. Normality is not a goal, but a trap.

14. Everything external is only a symbol for an internal state.

16. Judging another does not make them less, but it does make you less by dissipating your focus from yourself.

17. There is nothing you need to DO, just BE.

18. Competition is ultimately destructive. Co-operation is ultimately constructive.
