: Hi,
: My name is John, and I thought you might be interested in some quotes from my book The Tao of Contentment: A Journey to the Truth Within Yourself (ISBN 1-59129-018-X Publish America Inc.). I hope you like them. Check out my website too at www.geocities.com/jodtao
: Life's greatest goal is not achieved in reaching the mountain's top.
: Life's greatest goal is knowing contentment and joy on the path to the mountain's top.
: Happiness is found in the branches.
: Contentment is found in the roots.
: Happiness is found in the waves.
: Contentment is found in the depths.
: Go to the roots within yourself and search.
: Go to the depths within yourself and search.
: Truth is the cornerstone of contentment.
: Denial is death to contentment.
: Denial can bury truth forever.
: But truth never dies and can be raised from the deepest grave.
: The easy way in life found through someone else's understanding is not real understanding.
: The difficult way in life found through your own understanding is real understanding.
: It is not the wrong done to you that harms you,
: but what you do in response to that wrong that harms you.
: Freedom is never doing whatever you want whenever you want.
: Freedom must dovetail with responsibility or it is not freedom at all.
: Do not convert anyone except yourself.
: Even a lifetime may not be long enough to convert yourself to the truth within you.
