Discover your TRUE NATURE

SAMUEL EISZELE explores the depths of happiness, reminding us that happiness and suffering coexist, and that true happiness is about intentions, integrity and innateness.

I love the question, “What does happiness mean?" Because, in my opinion, unconditional happiness is the purpose of human life, so understanding and evaluating what brings happiness will help us fulfill an enlightened life.

Happiness is very rich, rewarding, and complex. It is not diametrically opposed to grief or suffering, but rather something that I can experience when I know that I am being held in the integrity of my family, my community, what I stand for, and what I am rooted in.

Happiness is about harmony and solidarity. It is knowing that when I arrive in a new environment, even if it is inherently challenging, I am arriving with a set of intentions: The intention to embody gratitude, loving-kindness, forgiveness and an active interest in others. And when I know that I carry this energy in my heart, my mind, and my inner being, then every moment becomes like a sacred offering, an opportunity to really open up to and unfurl to greater levels of interconnectedness and understanding. It truly is exceptional how interdependent we all are and have to be in this world.
