"There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Post written by Leo Babauta. Follow me on Twitter.
This morning I found myself lying around, enjoying a lazy weekend with my wife and kids, basking in the peaceful simplicity of today.
It's in these moments that I find not only my greatest happiness, but my purpose in life.
I am here not to achieve or even to change the world, but simply to live. Life is a gift, and I'm happy to accept every moment of it.
And so, in this spirit, I thought I'd dig through my archives and share a few favorite posts, to help others find this peace.
A lot of Zen Habits readers are new, and haven't taken the time to peruse the 800+ posts I've written. Shame on you! :)
Here's a good way to get started. If you want more, check out the Beginner's Guide to Zen Habits, or see the newly revamped Zen Habits archives for every post ever published here.
