well-being

Every child should be nurture with great love. The feeling of great love promotes wellness and potential for greatness.

The difficulty is that, so long as unreason prevails, a solution of our troubles can only be reached by chance; for while reason, being impersonal, makes universal co-operation possible, unreason, since it represents private passions, makes strife inevitable. It is for this reason that rationality, in the sense of an appeal to a universal and impersonal standard of truth, is of supreme importance to the well-being of the human species.

Your emotional state has a tremendous amount to do with sickness, health and well-being. For years, my husband and I lived on -- and because of -- hope. Hope continues to give me the mental strength to carry on.

If you love too much, you lose yourself.If you love too little, you never find yourself.

We may be happy but just don__ know it yet. Many want to rebuke themselves for not finding the threshold of well being, since they simply haven__ learnt to be nice to themselves and to enjoy the privileged twinklings of life. ("C__st quand le bonheur ?" )

My simple explanation of why we human beings, the most advanced species on earth, cannot find happiness, is this: as we evolve up the ladder of being, we find three things: the first, that the tension between the range of opposites in our lives and society widens dramatically and often painfully as we evolve; the second, that the better informed and more intelligent we are, the more humble we have to become about our ability to live meaningful lives and to change anything, even ourselves; and consequently, thirdly, that the cost of gaining the simplicity the other side of complexity can rise very steeply if we do not align ourselves and our lives well.

When you__e here, an i in the Ocean, you__e no longer waiting for something to happen or to change. When you__e here you have what you seek. Your heart opens to the gift you receive, that you are.

After a stressful event, we often crave comfort food. Our body is calling for more glucose and simple carbohydrates and fat... And in modern life, people tend to have fewer friends and less support, because there's no tribe. Being alone is not good for the brain.

Hiding white lies only causesanxiety and low self- esteem.Melissa Mae Palmer (on living with a mysterious illness and not telling a soul)

Distress is a disease of the mind.

Our observer is not affected by emotional ups and downs, our personal life dramas, or by the events of the external world. It is our observer, at the core of our being, that teaches us to let go as we begin identify with it rather than with all the hubbub of our moment-to-moment experience and our mental chatter about it.

Since emotions are merely information, there are no good or bad, right or wrong emotions.

We are masters of our characters and in turn, slaves of their outgrowth.

I have sought spirituality of soul and well-being over all other things.

If our well-being depends upon the interaction between events in our brains and events in the world, and there are better and worse ways to secure it, then some cultures will tend to produce lives that are more worth living than others; some political persuasions will be more enlightened than others; and some world views will be mistaken in ways that cause needless human misery.

Who can over estimate the progress of the world if all the money wasted in superstition could be used to enlighten, elevate and civilize mankind?

Sustainable happiness is important, because it not only elevate our own wellbeing locally, but also contributes to collective global flourishing.

Authentic happiness is not selfish, egotistical or narcissistic, in fact, it is essential in order for humankind to thrive
