Lightarted Living: Happy Day!

Lightarted Living: Happy Day!:  

Happy Day!

 


“There is only one way to happiness and that is 
to cease worrying about things 
which are beyond the power of our will.”

Epictetus




 “Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, 
and the life of the candle will not be shortened. 
Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

Buddha



“Don’t underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, 
of just going along, listening to all the things 
you can’t hear, and not bothering.”

Winnie the Pooh



“We tend to forget that happiness 
doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, 
but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”

Frederick Keonig


“Happiness depends upon ourselves.”

Aristotle



“We begin from the recognition that all beings cherish happiness 
and do not want suffering. It then becomes both morally wrong 
and pragmatically unwise to pursue only one’s own happiness 
oblivious to the feelings and aspirations of all others 
who surround us as members of the same human family. 

The wiser course is to think of others 
when pursuing our own happiness.”

Dalai Lama


“In every moment we have a chance to make a choice 
to bring light into the world. When we bless others 
with the gift of our positive energy, instead of letting 
circumstances affect us negatively, 
we bring a little peace to the world every day.”

Madisyn Taylor



“Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, 
you should put a good deal of thought 
into the happiness that you are able to give.”

Eleanor Roosevelt




“When I look back on all these worries, 
I remember the story of the old man 
who said on his deathbed 
that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, 
most of which had never happened.”

Winston Churchill




“Happiness is something that comes into our lives 
through doors we don’t even remember leaving open.”
