3 requirements for happiness
Lucky Guy (Hitori Saito) said there's 3 things are needed for our happiness.
These are our body health, our mind health & money.
I thought glyconurients business are the ideal. Because we become healthy by glyconutrients and other supplement.
We will have healthy mind (likable) by doing business. Because we don't decide, customer decide. Best way in the business is to be likable.
Money is just followed by our success.
If we don't have money, we need to do something we would not like to do or ask someone we don't like. That's why Lucky Guy said so.
Nothing is required for happiness
This is Thank You Guy (Seikan Kobayashi) said. It was eye opener for me and answered my question.
I felt happy even I did not really archieved achieved above goals.
Thank You Guy says there's no absolute happiness and only yourself think it is happiness.
If here's half glass of water, you can think only half, so much half or left over present from someone.
If you think happy, it became happiness.
Know enough
It is one of the enlightenment from Zen. If you look for above and above, you won't get satisfied and not become happy.
If half glass of water is not enough, does full glass may not make you true happiness. For some people, even 100% is not enough.
How about if you think you have enough already?
Happiness is everywhere
Then you can find happiness in every moment. Even something most of people don't think happiness happened, you can think it is happiness.
Before & After
If we get sick, we will have warm heart. Even you have warm heart already, you can be better.
If we get accident, we will become humble. Same way, you can be better.
Achieve enlightenment in 3 second
Seikan-san says there only 3 second needed to achieve enlightenment.
1 sec for accept all of our past.
1 sec for accept all of our current situation.
1 sec for accept all of our future.
Thankful
We can just enjoy now. We can thankful for something great or ourself.
Japanese word "Arigatou ありがとう" is usually translated as "Thank you". "Arigatou ありがとう 有難う" is from "Arigatai 有り難い". The origin is "有難 Very Rare" from Buddha's word.
It is very rare to be born as human. Now we have body and are on the earth. It is very rare.
So we can just say thankful and enjoy our life as happy movie.
Thank you,

Seikan-san (a.k.a. Thank You Guy) is a travel writer in Japan. He has been very interested in paranormal.
But paranormal phenomenon does not happens so often. So he changed subject to normal phenomenon as our daily life.
He found over 2000 common terms. These are not scientifically proofed or explained.
His wrote over 20 books for happy & lucky. Once his books were planed for English translation, but it was canceled. Because he cannot proof read by himself in English.
His book is full of pun (equivoque). I think it is very difficult to translate with his humor.
I brought Jeanette (wife) to his 2 hour speech in LA. All speech is in Japanese.
Jeanette understand Hiragana character only in Japanese. She said she understand Japanese more than I think.
But she did not laugh at all his speech while almost all people were kept laughing. We were sitting front row.
I felt a little not good for both. So I explained when I got his autograph.
Seikan-san asked me "Please explain her later in English". Then I said "Yes".
One of his teaching and his philosophy is "If some one asked you to do what only you can do, do it". That is following to your fate in long run.
There's some exception cases. You don't need to do or better not to do.
You don't need to do, if you were asked only for head count.
You don't need to do, if you already have another schedule.
You don't need to do, if you are asked for borrow money. But if you really feel not good by not renting money, you can rent out money.
Well, Seikan-san has over 2000 raws of the universe. It takes some times to explain for you in English. Then you and I will forget some. Writing blog will be more useful for all.
If I write 1 raws per day, it will take about 6 years. Please to be patient.
Thank you,
Naoki
