Expectations

Nothing

 presents a bigger obstacle

 to long-lasting happiness

 than expectations

 Forget about

 how you think things

 "should" be

 Therefore,

 expect nothing,

 and take whatever you get.

 Embrace whatever shows up.

 Love what is.

Happiness is always found in the moment

Happiness

 is always found in the moment

 that is here, now.

 Happiness has been sent to you

 in advance

 by God.

 It is here,

 in this moment,

 if you will seize it...

and share it.

Some people are like clouds

Some people

 are

 like clouds.

 When they disappear,

 it's a

much

brighter day.

Take hate as a compliment

Those

 who don't want to see you happy,

 see you as a threat.

 Take hate

 as a compliment.

People who know your worth

Surround yourself 
with people 
who know your worth.
You don't need 
too many people 
to be happy,
just a few 
real ones who 
appreciate you 
for exactly who you are!

Gratitude

Gratitude,
turns what we have
into enough!

If you cannot be happy with yourself

"If you cannot be happy with yourself,

 you cannot expect

 others to be happy with you"

Love is a two way street

"Love is a two way street,
 both people have to be willing to travel on it."

Happiness is something you remember

"Happiness isn't something
           you experience;
    it's something
           you remember." - Oscar Levant

You can't expect to find the right someone

"You can't expect to find the right someone

 until you know who you are,

 what matters to you

 and what makes your heart happy."

A Still Mind...

Happiness is like a butterfly...

When you go after it, it flies away...

But when you stand still...

It comes to you...

A still mind is a happy mind!

You must learn

"You must learn to be gentle with yourself.
                         And stop judging yourself."

Smile a lot.

"Smile a lot.
          It will cure
                 whatever ails you."

A lifetime of happiness

"A lifetime of happiness!
 No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth."
            - George Bernard Shaw

Happiness starts with you

"Remember,
     Happiness starts with you,
          not with your relationship,
              or your friends,
                                   or your job.




               But and only with YOU!!!"

If only we'd stop trying

"If only we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time." - Edith Wharton

I just choose to be happy and grateful

"Its not that life has been exactly easy,
   perfect,
           or exactly as expected.
 I just choose to be happy and grateful
         no matter how it turns out!"

Wake up happy

"I wake up happy more often now.
            Since I started being more grateful
      it's been easier to stay happy.
                                                      Be thankful for everything."

I'll always need my children

"I'll always need my children
            no matter what age I am.
     My children have made me laugh..
             made me proud..
                                              made me cry..
 hugged me tight...        seen me fail...
                   cheered me up... 


          kept me going strong...
                        and driven me crazy at times!


 But, my children are a promise from God that I will have a friend forever!!" 




                                             Love you guys...

If everyone is happy with you

"If everyone is happy with you

 chances are

                            you're not happy

 with yourself."
