I reached back into my practice journal for this. We buddhists often talk of the cessation of suffering, but how often do we use words like joy, happiness, or bliss? Just speaking them aloud gives them presence and power. Try incorporating them into your conversation and just see what shows up. Take these words from Shantideva to heart when you do:
"Since and other beings both, in wanting happiness, are equal and alike, what difference is there to distinguish us, that I should strive to have my bliss alone?"
