Have you been feeling down and out lately? Why not treat yourself as nicely as you would a good friend? Take yourself for a walk, get a massage and cook a nice meal. Making yourself feel better is empowering.
Many times we are so hard on ourselves, we expect so much in such a short time span. Take some time today for yourself, if you don’t, who will?
Democritus, (460?-370? BC)
Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold, the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.
Aristotle
To live happily is an inward power of the soul.
Sharon Salzberg
It doesn’t matter how long we may have been stuck in a sense of our limitations. If we go into a darkened room and turn on the light, it doesn’t matter if the room has been dark for a day, a week, or ten thousand years - we turn on the light and it is illuminated. Once we control our capacity for love and happiness, the light has been turned on.
John Templeton
Happiness comes from spiritual wealth, not material wealth… Happiness comes from giving, not getting. If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it. .
