Success

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
~Ralf Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
  Philosopher, Poet, Author, Essayist

An Attitude of Gratitude

A grateful heart, then, comes through expressing gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His blessings and to those around us for all that they bring into our lives. This requires conscious effort--at least until we have truly learned and cultivated an attitude of gratitude.

Music

Music enters our bodies, commandeering the pulse in our veins, and reminding us that pleasure isn't a matter of feeling good but of feeling more alive.
