Project “Inner Compass: 36 Virtues”Workshop on cooking the most nutritious food for the soul. A unique format of the project
This time, we explored Happiness, Enthusiasm, and Satisfaction from the ocean of all virtues. And not just explored, but also held a workshop on cooking the most nutritious food for the soul. After watching the music video “Happiness, Where Are You?”, we thought about how and when we are happy, and why happiness disappears. We realized that our own thoughts are the foundation of happiness. They say that happiness loves silence. A few minutes of silence prepared us for cooking a nutritious dish. We often hear the saying “If you want to be happy, be it!”
We have shared a proven recipe for this perfect dish. We have collected the ingredients for the most nutritious food for the soul: solitude, faith, and the consciousness of the soul. The kneading process included: being aware of myself as a soul and thinking of my original qualities: purity, peace, and love. The whipping process: I, the soul, feel my original qualities within me: purity, peace, and love. The shaping process: when I feel like a pure, peaceful, and loving soul, I feel joy and happiness. The baking process: I’m flying to the Supreme Source, the Ocean of Happiness, and fill myself with happiness.
Our dish is ready for serving:
I give happiness to all souls and elements of nature, and continue to fill myself with happiness from the Supreme Source. The more I give, the more I receive.
Then we discussed enthusiasm and satisfaction and suggested the methods to practice the virtues:
Methods for finding happiness:
1. Create strong thoughts of happiness, and your body and mind will always be happy.
2. Do not adopt anyone’s weaknesses or think about them.
3. Whatever the circumstances, never lose your happiness.
4. Wherever you go, give your happiness there. In return, you will receive a lot of happiness.
To achieve satisfaction, it is necessary:
1. Not to calculate what we lack, but to appreciate and make fruitful use of what we have.
2. Don’t complain or beg.
3. Do everything that we can from our heart, and accept the result, whatever it may be, maintaining lightness.
To stay enthusiastic, you need to:
1. Believe in yourself.
2. To be deeply aware that our every thought, word, and action can benefit many.
3. By inspiring someone by ten percent, you will increase your enthusiasm by ninety percent.
4. Enthusiasm is the breath of life. It must be maintained, because without enthusiasm, life loses its flavor and power.
In conclusion, we meditated on the realization and filling of these treasures of virtues.
