It is always possible to be thankful for what is given rather than to complain about what is not given. One or the other becomes a habit of life.
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
Seek not that the things which happen should happen as you wish; but wish the things which happen to be as they are, and you will have a tranquil flow of life.
Don’t demand or expect that events happen as you would wish them do. Accept events as they actually happen. That way, peace is possible.
Don’t seek to have events happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen, and all will be well with you.
Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.
I make myself rich by making my wants few.
I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive.
There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.
This is God’s universal purpose for all Christian suffering: more contentment in God and less satisfaction in the world.
I want to focus on God’s grace and give thanks for all the good things in my life. I don’t want to focus on what I don’t have.
I’m happy, I’m in a good place, I’m looking forward to my future.
I release all control to the Universe. I am at peace with myself and with life.
Think of what you have rather than of what you lack. Of the things you have, select the best and then reflect how eagerly you would have sought them if you did not have them.
Be content to seem what you really are.
Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
Enjoy everything. Need nothing.
Appreciating what shows up in your life changes your personal vibration. Gratitude elevates your life to a higher frequency.
God is my Father, He loves me, I shall never think of anything He will forget. Why should I worry?
Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.
