I believe happiness is an indirect result of ceasing to resist the underlying benevolence that forms existence.
From what I can see, lack of resistance can be accomplished in one of two ways: total and utter belief in the rightness of your actions and personal worth, or through a relaxed chillness where you just don’t care, allowing you to appreciate anything and everything.
I’ve stumbled upon total belief, but more often than not, I have to go for relaxed chillness. When I accept things as they are, I feel my spirit lighten, I enjoy the moment, and ironically enough, things loosen up and change for the better.

That is one hard lesson to learn. To just accept things as they are and move through the situation. I am getting much better at that however there are still some stumbles here and there. 🙂

I think it’s something we forget and relearn throughout our lives.

Agreed. Ride the wave as best you can. Go with the flow. Don’t Buddhists talk of this when they discuss detachment? Too much overthinking or anxiety or emotion always seems to compound problems at times.

I think so. I don’t like detachment though–I think it’s kind of become a loaded word. I’ve met Buddhists who try to hide their emotion when it arises or act disingenuously aloof in the name of detachment.
