And that was the day I knew I could truly build a life that matters.”
― Steve Goodier

― C. JoyBell C.

“I only like to recommend books that are happy and cheerful.... I know there are sad things out in the world... but I just don't want to dwell on them. I just stick my head in the sand. I don't want to face the facts. All the scientists are determined to tell us what the moon is made of and what the stars are... and why there are rainbows... but I just don't want to know. When i wish on a star, I don't need to know what it's made of--as for me, when a thing is beautiful what does it matter why? I never get tired of looking at the moon. One night it is small and round as a shiny, ice-cold, white marble and the next it's a big soft yellow moon. How can we be bored when nature gives us so many wonders to look at?”
― Fannie Flagg, Standing in the Rainbow

“Are you an empathy person or are you a happiness person? I'm an empathy person. It is far more important to me that I empathise with another person, than to show that I'm happy. I believe a lot of people are 'happiness conscious': there's a self-consciousness surrounding happiness that always haunts them. They need people to see them as happy, they need to be perceived as happy people. I just don't have that self consciousness. I want to connect with you, I want us to feel each other, I want to understand you. These are the things I need. I don't need to win, I just want to live.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Every piece of happiness requires mistiness.”
― Kangoma Kindembo

“Freedom is a blessing and a curse. People of all nations treasure the notion of personal liberty, but freedom creates the coincident anxiety of choosing how a person should live. If I desire to find personal happiness, I need to understand what happiness is and learn how to rid myself of unhappiness. Is happiness an endurable material or is it comprised of no more than a string of good fortune? Is the good luck that brings happiness a fortunate happenstance that may evaporate at any moment? Do we measure happiness in the present? Alternatively, is happiness determinable only when looking at the sum and substance of a person’s total life? Is the game of life ultimately a losing proposition for all persons, and if so, is happiness even achievable or is it a form of an illusion? Is happiness simply a temporary mental reprieve from an inevitable period of suffering that serves as a prelude to our final dance with death? Is happiness a matter of quality of life or quantity, i.e. longevity? Can we measure happiness objectively? Alternatively, should we subjectively compute our scale of happiness?”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Happiness is not something you will miraculously find one day in the distant future.

Happiness is something that you develope over time, with your actions, thoughts, feelings, connections, and experiences everyday.

Don't wait for the future to hope and find happiness, for the future is unknown.

You can start creating your own happiness today, and everyday! "

- David Paul”
― David Paul Vosburg

“You can contribute to someone's happiness but you are not responsible for their choices about happiness. You can contribute to someone's healing process but you are not responsible for their choices around healing themselves. You may make recommendations to someone on a choice but you are not responsible for their choices. All these are outside of what you can control. Hence, the reason why you have to make the choices for choosing yourself...your own happiness, your own healing and your own choices in life.”
― Kemi Sogunle, On Becoming Restored

― Leo Tolstoy
