Dear Blessed and Beloved Bruce, it was enlightening and delightful. Jacqueline is a dynamite. May the world be filled with her joy!
You asked a question about how to be happy when something tragic happens. Jacqueline said to first acknowledge the fact. True! When we accept what happened instead of denying, we immediately come to the present and can then figure out the next step. After all, sadness is our inability to accept or digest what happened.
I also like to add this: We always think of happiness to be a feeling that comes and goes with something happening or not happening. We treat it as a reward or a gift. We think that something good should happen for us to feel happy. But that is not real happiness. Real happiness is what comes from within irrespective of what is happening outside. It is natural for the mind to get disturbed at the death of a loved one, but with joy from within, it is easy to settle the mind and bring it to the balanced state. The several techniques of the science of Yoga help in this process. I have mentioned these in my book series too.
Okay, let me not write an essay here. On the whole, anyone looking to enjoy every day of their life should listen to this. Great questions and great answers. Keep rocking Bruce!
