ENGAGE AND REINFORCE POSITIVES 
Tibetan Buddhism tells us to try to think about positives.
Think and engage in positives.
You can say words and put your thoughts with that.
Positive thinking will bring positive actions.
Negative thinking will bring negative actions.
If you let your mind go under the control of hatred
or obsession
that
will bring more hatred and obsession.
These are the sources of unhappiness and misery.
If our thoughts are positive, with love, compassion, wisdom, faith
and so on
that will bring joy and happiness to our lives.

Smile a Lot - Thich Nhat Hanh
Awaking Feature
Life is filled with suffering, but it is also filled with many wonders
like the blue sky, the sunshine, the eyes of a baby.
To suffer is not enough. We must also be in touch with the wonders of life.
They are within us and all around us, everywhere, any time.
If we are not happy, if we are not peaceful, we cannot share peace and happiness with others
even those we love, those who live under the same roof.
If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower
and everyone in our family, our entire society
will benefit from our peace.
Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky?
Do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it? No, we just enjoy it.
Each second, each minute of our lives can be like this.
Wherever we are, any time
we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other
even the sensation of our breathing.
We don't need to go to China to enjoy the blue sky.
We don't have to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing.
We can be in touch with these things right now.
It would be a pity if we are only aware of suffering.
We are so busy we hardly have time to look at the people we love
even in our own household, and to look at ourselves.
Society is organized in a way that
even when we have some leisure time, we don't know how to use it
to get back in touch with ourselves.
We have millions of ways to lose this precious time
we turn on the TV or pick up the telephone, or start the car
and go somewhere.
We are not being with ourselves, and we act as if we don't like ourselves
and are trying to escape from ourselves.
Meditation is to be aware of what is going on-in our bodies, in our feelings
in our minds, and in the world.
Each day 40,000 children die of hunger.
The superpowers now have more than 50,000 nuclear warheads
enough to destroy our planet many times.
Yet the sunrise is beautiful, and the rose
that bloomed this morning along the wall is a miracle.
Life is both dreadful and wonderful.
To practice meditation is to be in touch with both aspects.
Please do not think we must be solemn in order to meditate.
In fact, to meditate well, we have to smile a lot.
-- Thich Nhat Hanh

Compassion and concern for others are the key to human survival.
People with no interest in religion
sometimes disregard qualities like patience and compassion
which they associate with religious practice.
In fact, they are relevant to anyone who wishes to live a happy life

Two related questions asked how to increase our inner joy
and go beyond sadness.
His Holiness replied that these were fundamental questions
and difficult to answer.
However, drawing on his own experience
he suggested that the labels we attach to an experience alter how we see it
By changing our perspective on difficulties
we could generate inner happiness.
Ultimately
“if we have inner contentment, we will naturally be happy”, he said.
