Wisdom, compassion and courage are the three elements required for leading a successful, happy and fulfilled life. The first, wisdom, requires knowledge of what brings true happiness than illusion of happiness bounded to the ego. A wise person un-trapped by the ego knows how to move forward rather than in circles because he or she knows true source of happiness is found within the mind. The second, compassion, is a way to live fully through acceptance and forgiveness. Living compassionately is actually the most effective way to succeed at anything. Compassion is a long-range solution that in contrast to aggression has a positive influence in all areas of our lives. It stabilizes our life and those of others while removing anger, jealousy and self-involvement. Lastly, courage is required to gradually change our mind, to go beyond the limits of the ego and attachments diminishing our false neurosis. With courage we are able to give before looking at how much we are going to get in return. With courage the mind becomes unburdened by the concept of “me” through the looking glass. Turning the mind towards being consumed in service of others may sound like a lot of work but actually requires less energy than the worry and disillusionment about ourselves that holds our consciousness. Bringing these three wish-fulfilling jewels into experience, however, is how we activate our true source of happiness, which uplifts our minds and increases our life-force energy.
