"Rules for Happiness: something to do, someone to love, something to hope for." ~ Immanuel Kant
"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." ~ Marcel Proust
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life." ~ John Lennon
"The purpose of our lives is to be happy." ~ Dalai Lama
Assume you have an intuition called InnSaei, which is your inner compass.
This is your "sea within," an endless internal realm of feelings, ideas, and creativity that is always changing and creating new relationships. You must first "see within," gain a thorough understanding of your own creativity, core beliefs, strengths, and weaknesses in order to fully utilize InnSaei.
Empathizing with others and forming connections that revitalize you are made possible by this self-awareness. Gaining simplicity, focus, and resiliency to navigate a world full of distractions and uncertainty can be achieved by learning "to see from the inside out," which matches with this inner compass.
To develop your InnSaei, it is like a muscle that gets stronger with use. Biases that can hinder it include stress, self-doubt, and an impulse to act without thinking things through.
It's important to heal and take care of your body and mind; pay attention to its cues, deal with pain by writing or having faith in close friends or family, and spend time in nature. Being receptive to chance meetings and exploring new paths to broaden your horizons can also help you cultivate unexpected outcomes.
