We believe that we are responsible for the quality of our life, our happiness and our resources. To get to have a meaningful life we must transform our emotions, because this is the most effective way to generate happiness in the future for ourselves and for everyone else.
No one can force us to transform our mind, not even the Buddha.
We must do it voluntarily. That is why the Buddha said: "You are your own teacher."
Our efforts must be realistic. We must verify for ourselves that the methods we follow will produce the desired results. We cannot just depend on faith. It is essential that we scrutinize the path we intend to follow to clearly establish what is and what is not effective, so that the methods of our efforts can succeed. I think this is essential if we want to find authentic happiness in life.
