Words worth keeping

Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.

Dare to BeWhen a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.When times are tough, dare to be tougher.When love hurts you, dare to love again.When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.Dare to be the best you can –At all times, Dare to be!

The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.

I was smiling yesterday,I am smiling today and I will smile tomorrow.Simply because life is too short to cry for anything.

HopeSmiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'...

I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, "This is what it is to be happy.

Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.

You can't be happy unless you're unhappy sometimes".

No medicine cures what happiness cannot.

Don’t waste your time in anger, regrets, worries, and grudges. Life is too short to be unhappy.

Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.

More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.

Sometimes crying or laughing are the only options left, and laughing feels better right now.

There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.

Even if you cannot change all the people around you, you can change the people you choose to be around. Life is too short to waste your time on people who don’t respect, appreciate, and value you. Spend your life with people who make you smile, laugh, and feel loved.
