Sometimes we mistake  pleasure for happiness, but it is possible to have one without the other.  
Pleasure is a stimulation of the five senses that comes from external  people, places and things. Happiness is something that exists within you. It is  a supernal energy that no one can take away from you unless you let them.  The only illusion we must overcome to find happiness is the one that  convinces us that it originates from an outside source.

"I am convinced that unconditional love is the most powerful known stimulant to
the immune system. If I told patients to raise their blood levels of immune
globulins or killer T cells, no one would know how. But if I can teach them to
love themselves and others fully, the same changes happen automatically. The
truth is: love heals."  -- Bernie Siegel

The greatest poets and philosophers the world over have attempted to define and describe love.  
To the Kabbalists, love has always been a simple consciousness: The desire to share.
Love is a state of mind. When you’re in it, you can’t  help but give it. - Yehuda Berg - 7-19-13

We all believe we are  limited, until we are pushed to do something extraordinary that makes us rise above our limitations. The importance of facing your fears is to start to  understand the truth of your limitlessness. You really can do anything!  -- Yehuda Berg - 7-15-13

 Sometimes we say we will  try to be better just to feel better about what we’ve done in the past. It’s important to be honest with ourselves if we desire to be better and do better.  Saying we will try doesn’t change our lives without actions to back it up.  It’s harsh truth, but there is trying, and there is doing.  Trying is what happens until you exhaust yourself, and decide it’s finally time to do.  -- Yehuda Berg - July 11, 2013
