For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also
This is weird. I went to a friend’s beautiful wedding last Saturday, and first heard the proverb “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Mathew 6:21)
On Friday night, I saw it in big bold letters on the building across from the seat I’d randomly managed to secure in the food-court, plastered in shining letters as part of Christmas decorations (CK Tangs, for those of you in Singapore. You can’t miss it on the front of the building).
Now, just reading through my RSS feed, I saw it mentioned in the comments of The Happiness Project’s post on a major epiphany about the nature of happiness.
Maybe there’s a message in all of this.
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.“
I like this approach, thanks for sharing it!
Nice approach. If you could give an concrete example of how one could follow the process it might help better though. For instance take the “Why can’t I forget him after so many years of relationships” or “Arrh.. This person makes me so frustrated!!!” and run through the process you take to let-go from it.
I enjoyed your article. I wasn’t sure how much I would get out of it at first because I am not willing to drop it all to begin meditating and living in seculsion. I am happy with my life but like many of us trrying to find a good balance for myself. However, your ideas weren’t “to out there for me” and I really do believe thoughts and words lead to action. Action was the other part I relly liked. Making big changes in our lives require taking action and to often today people are beng told to just think it and believe it and everythig will comte to you. I am firm believer that action is required- I liked the kite analogy.
Three years???
Sorry, I didn’t even know that you became a monk.
I remember that I met you last time a little over three years ago when you came back to Thailand one weekend.
At the time I knew only that you were training for a marathon and you were about to publish a book.
Well, อนุโมทนาบุญด้วยครับ
Letting go, surrender. Come to think of it, people surrender to many things. Why can’t we surrender to happiness?
