joy-of-life

Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because life is sweet and they are growing.

Thoughts are pennies from Heaven

Gratitude is a blessed act.

Lord thank you for thy faithfulness.

SHEShe makes me smileDeep deep insideBefore you can see it on my faceBefore I met herShe can make me smile in my past

As we plant in tears, we shall harvest with joy.

What a glorious day!

May your heart overflows with exceeding joy.

The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.

We live in the present all the time and the past does not matter anymore. Only if we can understand this in the past, when the past is the present, we would be able to live every moment with satisfaction and joy. Only if we understand that the quarrels and miseries, the sadness and even the strongest of problems of the present will not matter to us in the future in a way they do now; we can be content with whatever our present holds in store for us.

I've never had a moment when I thought: "Tom, you've made it!", and I don't think I want to, because that feels like you've reached the end; that you've crossed the finish line. But to me there is no end. An achievement is not a finish line; it's a checkpoint on a far greater journey. It's a moment to pause, to take a breath and look back and enjoy what you've experienced and be grateful for it, but then to turn around and look towards the next checkpoint, the next achievement.

If I have one piece of advice to give you all about what to search for in your quest for What Next, it's to find where the line blurs between hard work and happiness for you. To find that thing where working hard at it makes you happy, and where you're happy to work hard at it.

From sunrise to sunset to sunrise, there is a lifetime of joy, sorrow and happiness.

Where your heart is, there is your treasure of happiness.

Can a man's life be complete without his Maker?

The true joy lies in the unpredictability of nature.
