joy

Your most important __ant_ should be the one you can control!

Nothing that happens to you was meant to be. The only thing about you that was meant to be is you. Blaze your own trail.

Happiness isn__ the reward we retrieve after a long struggle. It arrives daily, in those clear moments when our hearts are tender, pricked by the embrace of a loved one, the beauty of a single flower, the majesty of the world in which we are central. Look over your shoulder at how far you__e come and all the good things you__e experienced and that is when you will see the smiling face of happiness.

I enjoy melancholic music and art. They take me to places I don't normally get to go.

Life is a journey worth making.

It is not where we are that matters nor what we have, it is what we do with where we are and what we have.

The midsummer sun shines but dim, The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in Him December's as pleasant as May.

It's not strength, it's PERCEPTION that makes you stronger. If you change how you SEE it, you'll change how you FEEL about it.

I drink to the general joy o_ the whole table." Macbeth

Imagination doesn't always make you long for what you cannot have, but rather thrive in what you do not have.

...it's not the stories - it's the pain and the joy and the people who stay with you long after the stories are told ...

The brave who focus on all things good and all things beautiful and all things true, even in the small, who give thanks for it and discover joy even in the here and now, they are the change agents who bring fullest Light to all the world.

It is better to dwell on the beautiful things in life than the negative.

Our purest form of joy comes when people we envy get hurt. That most genuine form of joy.

It__ true that laughter really is cheap medicine. It__ a prescription anyone can afford. And best of all, you can fill it right now.

Champagne arrived in flûtes on trays, and we emptied them with gladness in our hearts... for when feasts are laid and classical music is played, where champagne is drunk once the sun has sunk and the season of summer is alive in spicy bloom, and beautiful women fill the room, and are generous with laughter and smiles... these things fill men's hearts with joy and remind one that life__ bounty is not always fleeting but can be captured, and enjoyed. It is in writing about this scene that I relive this night in my soul.

When you let go of control and commit yourself to happiness, it is so easy to offer compassion and forgiveness. This propels you from the past, into the present. People that are negative, spend so much time trying to control situations and blame others for their problems. Committing yourself to staying positive is a daily mantra that states, __ have control over how I plan to react, feel, think and believe in the present. No one guides the tone of my life, except me!
