Why aren’t you happy?

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.919
The main reason that we wanted
to get started with this project

2
00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:07.480
was I think it started with us
doing the practice on ourselves.

3
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:10.720
So us doing the meditation,
doing the yoga,

4
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:13.800
and doing all the techniques
that we now use with the youth

5
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:16.440
and using them on ourselves
and being scientists

6
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:18.079
and seeing what they did for us.

7
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:20.600
And as we witnessed
the transformation

8
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:21.879
that was occurring within us,

9
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.280
we thought hey, we had to try
this to everybody.

10
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:28.000
It was around 2001 when
the whole 9/11 thing happened

11
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.879
I think one of the main reactions
we used to get from people was

12
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:33.759
"Why are you so happy?".

13
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.039
And we would kind of look at them
and look at each other

14
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.200
and be like well
"Why aren't you happy?",

15
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.600
we have all the tools
within us to be happy

16
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.320
and bliss is inward
instead of looking outward

17
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.640
for external things
that will make us happy.

18
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:47.560
Let's go inside and just be present.
