Dear Taichung Happiers:

Mother Teresa did not only give shelter and food to people in need, but also show them hope. Hope is the greatest gift we can offer to someone else. We love life and see the limitless possibilities; therefore, we expand the inner peace and live the hope. Ladies and gentlemen, this weekend, Miss Hope will present us “Nine ways to find peace of mind”. Please remember that forwarding our weekly article as far and wide as possible is one of the great ways to give hope to others.

In this modern society, our minds are in a constant state of restlessness, yet realizing that we always have options can empower us. Suffering and illness can transform the perception of how we view ourselves and how we relate to this world. Ang Lee pointed out “Disadvantage is sometimes advantage”. During these four years making “Life of Pi”, he has had no peace in mind, only anxiety, uncertainty and doubts. So, what convinced him to persist? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvzMRXvKnOY

Gratitude is a powerful tool which can create our inner peace. The beauty of it is that gratitude is free, we all possess it, and it is at our disposal every time every where. If we are asking what brings us lasting happiness, the answer will be “cultivating a sense of gratitude”. Thanks a lot, Miss Hope. And we welcome every Happier to join us this weekend to love our life, show the hope and initiate the transformation. Let us create some catalysts to direct the transformation toward an elevated position. Thanks again.





Best Wishes,
Jasmine
