ANGELS WALK BESIDE THE DALAI LAMA’S WISDOM

“Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.” — Dalai Lama

There are a handful of spiritual teachers whose words have shaped the very fabric of my life, and two of them have been on my heart so tenderly these days. I deeply miss the serene presence of Thich Nhat Hanh and his simple, elegant view of life. And now, as I walk through India—the land of sages, saints, and seekers—I can feel how close I am to the Dalai Lama, whose laughter alone could lift any soul to a higher frequency. I came here with the hope—oh, such a joyful hope—of sitting with him in person. But time and age have wrapped him in the sacred privacy he deserves, making an audience impossible. Still, life surprised me in a beautiful way. I exchanged messages with one of his assistants, who assured me that His Holiness would receive the message of the Peace On Earth Tour, and that our request for his prayers and blessing would be delivered directly to him. That was enough to fill my heart to overflowing. His teaching on happiness rings like a temple bell within me: Nothing outside of us can manufacture happiness. It can only expand what is already alive within our own hearts. How profound… and how empowering. It reminds me that every moment of peace, every breath of gratitude, every act of kindness builds the inner sanctuary where true happiness thrives.

Dear Angels, if happiness is born within us, how do we nurture it—especially in moments when life feels heavy or uncertain?

Dear Ones, happiness is not a destination, nor is it a reward for perfect living. It is a vibration—one that is awakened each time you choose love over fear, presence over distraction, compassion over judgment. Think of happiness as a flame already lit within you. The world may send winds that flicker it, but only your choices determine whether it grows brighter. Every moment you breathe consciously, you nourish that flame. Every moment you forgive, you expand it. Every moment you offer kindness—whether seen or unseen—you become a living temple of joy.

Do not look outside yourself for what already lives in your soul. Instead, let the world mirror back the radiance you cultivate within. Happiness blooms through action, yes—but these actions need not be grand. Small choices made in love shift the entire universe. Walk gently. Smile often. Let gratitude rise like incense from your heart. In these ways, happiness becomes not something you seek, but something you become.

Angels Whisper:  Joy awakens each time you choose to see yourself through Love’s eyes.

Today, I promise to choose to BE happy and watch as my joy expands.
