Too often in life something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is we all have choices and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations.
Man's real life is happy chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.
Being in control of your life and having realistic expectations about your day-to-day challenges are the keys to stress management which is perhaps the most important ingredient to living a happy healthy and rewarding life.
Don't ignore the past but deal with it on your own pace. Once you deal with it you are free of it and you are free to embrace your life and be a happy loving person because if you don't the past will come back to haunt and keep coming back to haunt you.
If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.
Very little is needed to make a happy life it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
A well-spent day brings happy sleep.
Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.
