August 7 – "There is no way to happiness; happiness is the Way"

"There is no way to happiness; happiness is the way. There is no way to peace; peace is the way. There is no way to enlightenment; enlightenment is the way." That quote from Thich Nhat Hanh sums up how to use the Science of Mind. It is our state of mind, or consciousness that creates our experience. The way we think and feel determines the lens through which we perceive life. If we want to see a change in our lives we must become that change. Making the result we desire our daily practice ensures our success.
