Happy Thoughts

Avraham Tzvi Schwartz

Imagine stepping out of a chauffeured limousine. Visualize yourself standing before a beautiful house, encircled by glorious, green gardens. You walk up to the heavy, wooden door and before you reach it, it swings open to you, revealing smiling faces that greet you, that are pleased to see you. You step into a comfortable room, into happy living, and you feel like… You are as happy as… You are more satisfied than…

The above picture can put you – the entire you – into a wonderful mood. Aah, this is living – this is it!

Now, can you create this mood within yourself, without the outside trappings? Can you think thoughts that trigger such a frame of mind? If you can, this is good, excellent – better than all the limousines, mansions, luxuries and comforts. For, to create such a mood within you is, in truth, to have it all.
