Happiness and Success

"Happiness and success are inner processes that we bring to life's undertakings, rather than something we get from 'out there.'" - Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Everyday Wisdom for Success.

I've also gotten into a book called, "Awareness: The Perils and Opportunities of Reality." It is spirituality book by Jesuit priest Anthony de Mello. I wouldn't have expected this kind of writing from a priest, but then what do I know about priests? Uh, not much. From the back cover:

The heart of Anthony de Mello's bestselling spiritual message is awareness. Mixing Christian spirituality, Buddhist parables, Hindu breathing exercises, and psychological insight, de Mello's words of hope come together in Awareness in a grand synthesis.

In short chapters for reading in quiet moments at home or at the office, ha cajoles and challenges: We must leave this go-go-go world of illusion and become aware. And this only happens, he insists, by becomign alive to the needs and potential of others, whether at home or in the workplace.

Here, then, is a masterful book of the spirit, challenging us to wake up in every aspect of our lives.
