No matter our present circumstance, happiness, contentment, peace, can be had now. Not at some future time when our surroundings may be more congenial, but right now, this very moment, and every moment here after.
This happiness, contentment, and peace I speak of, saturates the entire universe and it is within each of us waiting to be discovered. It cannot be found in the external world, it dwells within; in the silent undisturbed depths of the spirit. No guru can deliver it to us; no amount of outward stuff can supply happiness; no form of relationship is able to clothe us with unbroken contentment for this kind of peace is transitory and will not stand against the trials of fire. What we must do is believe, simply believe with our minds. Entertain no doubt and meditate on this until we fully understand it. As we meditate we will begin to build a new inner world, which will strengthen and solidify with new understanding, as we begin to realize how powerless our outside environment is. Understanding this realization will enable us to enter into this peace, this unchanging happiness that enriches the soul.

Word of the Week
I introduced the Word of the Week to help us improve our working knowledge of the English language. Your part if you choose to participate is to be aware of and use each word for the entire week whenever the opportunity presents itself. This way we will all increase our vocabulary and our knowledge of the English language supplying us with a very effective tool to utilize on our road to success.

te·mer·i·ty /təˈmerəti/ noun

From a poem entitled “It’s No Surprise”
“Eyes exuding sincerity,

So eloquent. Thank you, Marshall.
