holding myself back

Unconditional happiness
Meditation for me is about mindfulness Mindfulness to strive towards unconditional happiness Being able to realize that existence alone can equate to happiness Unconditional of a fancy car, a nice house, a relationship, money, pleasures, status… Awareness that existence alone, even for a second, can give you happiness That is the unbounded power of mindfulness Continue reading
