unreasonable happiness…

I like the term “unreasonable happiness”, from the book “way of the peaceful warrior” by Dan Millman. . .

“A warrior can rely on the power of love, of kindness, of service – and the power of happiness.” “You cannot attain Happiness; it attains you – but only after you surrender everything else.”

“Wake up! If you knew for certain that you had a terminal illness – if you had little time left to live – would you waste precious little of it! Well I’m telling you, you do have a terminal illness: It’s called birth. You don’t have more than a few years left. No one does! So be happy now, without reason – or you never will be at all.”

“Act happy, be happy, without a reason in the world. Then you can love, and do what you will . . . Feelings change. Sometimes sorrow, sometimes joy. But beneath it all remember the innate perfection of your life unfolding. That is the secret of unreasonable happiness.”
