"There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will."

- Epictetus

Positive thoughts

[Fishmanpa]

"People tend to think of happiness as a stroke of luck, something that will descend like fine weather if you're fortunate. But happiness is the result 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."

- Elizabeth Gilbert

Fantastic.

There was a passage I read in a book on Stoicism recently and it says… “find happiness in everything that happens to you.”

Initially I thought…. “No way!”

But it occurred to me that when you start looking for happiness you find it A LOT MORE, than if you don’t.

So while times may be difficult, if you can cultivate a mindset where you can still find things to hold on to, its better than just being miserable!

There is no exercise better for your heart than reaching down and lifting people up.
