Most people chase happiness—believing it lies in success, money, status, or praise.
But as Master Woo Myung teaches, happiness that depends on external things always leads to disappointment.
Real happiness comes when we no longer seek it—when the self disappears and only the mind of Truth remains.
That mind, full of nothing and free from want, accepts everything and is always at peace.
It is happiness itself.

How to Be Happy and Positive All the Time
People think happiness is when they have what others envy. People think they will be happy if they make lots of money, have a beautiful woman by their side, have a child who does well at school, or when their goals are achieved. But at the end of this happiness, there is inevitable loss, and that is when people become miserable.
True happiness is when people’s minds do not have the mind to pursue happiness. When one has escaped from the human mind, which is filled with greed, then one will always be happy. The mind of Truth that is always alive, the mind of nothingness, is the mind that accepts anything that comes its way. So, it is happiness itself.
As long as the self exists, there is no happiness in one’s desires. When one’s self, which is false and not real, disappears, one becomes the true self and is always happy.
