If only
Happiness isn't about what happens to us -
it's about how we perceive what happens to us.
It's the knack of finding a positive for every negative,
and viewing a setback as a challenge.
If we can just stop wishing for what we don't have,
and start enjoying what we do have, our lives
can be richer; more fulfilled - and happier.
The time to be happy is now
The Journey
"Happiness is to be found along the way, not at
the end of the road, for then the journey is over
and it is too late."
--Robert R. Updegraff
The Open Door
When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long at the closed door that
we do not see the one which has opened for us
Greater Happiness
Flowers and their scents calm your soul. Buy a fresh bunch weekly. It will calm you and brighten up your home. Buy flowers with the colors you like to see and scents you like to smell.
Self-Improvement
A truly wise person will constantly move forward, striving for self-improvement. The joys of happiness can only be realized by living lofty principles.
- Ashton
Thousands of Candles
"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
-- Buddha
Enjoy The Moment
In order to be utterly happy the only thing necessary is to refrain from comparing this moment with other moments in the past, which I often did not fully enjoy because I was comparing them with other moments of the future.
Andre Gide (1869-1951)
Why wait?
There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. Many of us continually postpone our happiness- indefinitely. There's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be
filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.
Three Things
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world. Someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
-- Tom Bodett
Stained-Glass Windows
People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets
in, their true beauty is revealed only if
there is a light from within.
-- Elizabeth Kübler-Ross
Memories Forever
Keep Holidays alive by:
*Buying throw away cameras and snap pictures on a whim to capture unposed moments.
*Pass around a journal and ask others to record their thoughts.
*Keep a memory box filled with cards or bits of paper and bows that are special.
Happy to Just be Alive!
I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.
-- Agatha Christie
The Truth Is...
"The truth is that all of us attain the greatest success and happiness possible in this life whenever we use our native capacities to their greatest extent."
-- Smiley Blanton
