Paradise Within or Without

When I was in Mexico last week, I was consumed by how truly magnificent the nature of it is. I also noted how in this wonderful all inclusive resort that I experienced people around me being unhappy and dissatisfied. I thought to myself, here it is ‘paradise’, and yet when we are not in touch with the paradise within ourselves no matter how spectacular things are around us, we will not be able to see or appreciate it. When we access the paradise within us, then anywhere we are is paradise.
