InnerSelf Daily Inspiration - October 18, 2026

InnerSelf Daily Inspiration October 18, 2026 A 6-Step Path to Happiness and Civility By Michael Glauser Civility cannot be legislated, mandated, or enforced by governments—it comes from internalizing civil values in our lives. In other words, as we become happier, we also become more civil, and becoming more civil reinforces our happiness. — Michael Glauser The six universal principles introduced by our great teachers provide a strong path to happiness and civility in our lives. Following this path leads to joy, peace, and satisfying relationships. If we veer from this path, we are more likely to experience sorrow, unhappiness, and troubled relationships. These six principles produce greater happiness and also greater civility in our relationships. Happiness and civility are inseparably connected. We all possess "two selves" in this life. One is our "true self," which has tremendous potential to learn, grow, and obtain genuine happiness. The second is our "ego," which develops based on our experiences, feedback from others, successes, and failures. In other words, it is a fabrication we carry around with us that isn't who we really are or could become.
