Reflection
Happiness
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. (Reflection 124)
— Dalai Lama
खुशी कोई बनी-बनाई चीज नहीं है। यह आपके अपने कार्यों से आती है। (चिंतन 124)
— दलाई लामा
Why this matters:
True contentment is a byproduct of how we choose to live. Wisdom is often found in the quiet moments of self-reflection. In this 124th step of our journey, we find that happiness requires consistent practice and patience.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
सच्ची संतुष्टि इस बात का उप-उत्पाद है कि हम कैसे जीना चुनते हैं। बुद्धिमत्ता अक्सर आत्म-चिंतन के शांत क्षणों में पाई जाती है। अपनी यात्रा के इस 124वें चरण में, हम पाते हैं कि खुशी के लिए निरंतर अभ्यास और धैर्य की आवश्यकता होती है।
