Sad or Happy

If you want to be sad, no one

in the world can make you be happy.

But if you make up your mind

to be happy, no one and nothing on earth

can take that happiness from you.

~Paramhansa Yogananda

author of Autobiography of Yogi

Don't Give Up

Don't ever give up. Don't ever give in. Don't ever stop trying. Don't ever sell out. And if you find yourself succumbing to one of the above for a brief moment, pick yourself up, brush yourself off, whisper a prayer, and start where you left off. But never, ever, ever give up.

Happiness

Happiness is not in our circumstances, but in ourselves.  It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of the fire.  Happiness is something we are.

~John B. Sheerin

The Journey

Your journey has molded you for the greater good, and it was exactly what it needed to be.  Don't think that you've lost time.  It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the now.  And now is right on time.

Home

Where we love is home.  Home that the feet may leave, but not our hearts.
