"Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed.

Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with 

love, grace and gratitude."

Denis Waitley

Maybe...the biggest challenge in life is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else.

Maybe...you shouldn't hate the people who are jealous of you, but instead respect their jealousy - after all, they are the ones who think that you are better than them.

Maybe...the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. After all, you can’t go on successfully in life until you let go of your past mistakes, failures and heartaches.

Maybe...it's not where you are in life, but who you have by your side that really counts.

Maybe...you shouldn’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because all it takes is a smile to light up the darkest day.

Maybe...you shouldn't let what you can't do interfere with what you can.

Maybe...when life is good, we should say thank you and appreciate it. And when life is grim, we should say thank you and learn from it.

Maybe...everything is beautiful, but being beautiful isn't everything.

Maybe...you shouldn't change your looks or lifestyle to please someone else, because if they truly love you, they will accept you just the way you are.

Maybe...being happy doesn't mean that everything has to be perfect. It just means that you have decided to look beyond the imperfections.

"If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never

be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you

will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the world belongs to you."

Lao-Tzu

"A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they're not so good, and sympathizes with your problems when they're not so bad."

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.”

"There is so much good in the worst of us, 

And so much bad in the best of us, that it 

ill behaves any of us to find fault with the rest of us."

I gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience, 

In which I must stop, and look fear in the face...

I say to myself, 

I've lived through this and can take the next thing that comes along...

We must do the things we think we cannot do.

Eleanor Roosevelt

“No matter where you are in life right now, 

No matter who you are, no matter how old you are, 

It is never too late to be who you are meant to be.”

This is one of my all-time favourite quotes...

Friday Frills

There comes a time in your life when you have to walk away from all the drama, and the people who create it. 

Surround yourself with people who make you laugh. 

Forget the bad and focus on the good. 

Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. 

Life is too short to be anything but happy. 

Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living.

"One has to live in the present. Whatever is past is gone beyond recall, whatever is future remains beyond one’s reach, until it becomes present. Remembering the past and giving thought to the future are important, but only to the extent that they help one deal with the present.” 

S.N. Goenka

When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, 

By dreams that need completion,

By pure love that needs expressing,

Then we truly live life.

Happiness is when what you think, 

what you say and what you do are in harmony.

There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged,

To find the ways in which you yourself have altered.

We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life,

But we can decide what happens in us,

How we can take it,

What we do with it,

And that is what really counts in the end.
