The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
Joy, collected over time, fuels resilience – ensuring we’ll have reservoirs of emotional strength when hard things do happen.
A good life is a collection of happy memories.
The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keep out the joy.
If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can’t just wait to see what kind of day you’ll have. You have to decide what kind of day you’ll have.
I care how I feel and it is my desire to feel good.
My path is about Joy.
Reach for a better feeling thought.
Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you’re proud to live.
Real elation is when you feel you could touch a star without standing on tiptoe.
There must be a happy medium somewhere between being totally informed and blissfully unaware.
You could say, in a vulgar Freudian way, that I am the unhappy child who escapes into books. Even as a child, I was most happy being alone. This has not changed.
Focus on what you can do rather than stress about what you have no control over.
Being happy never goes out of style.
A negative mind will never give you a positive life.
Do you. Just focus on being the best version of yourself that you can be every day, and don’t compare yourself to anyone else or worry about what they’re doing.
Enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
Don’t find a reason to smile. Find a way.
Breathe. It’s only a bad day not a bad life.
Let your smile change the world, but don’t let the world change your smile.
